Moon and Kennedy Agree to Share Gold Medal in Pole Vault in Historic Show of Sportsmanship

American Katie Moon and Australian Nina Kennedy both cleared 4.90 meters but failed to clear 4.95 meters.
Rather than a jump-off, the two athletes decided to share the gold medal, the first shared gold in World Championships history.
Kennedy broke the Australian record and won her first world championship.
Moon won her second consecutive world title in the pole vault.
The two expressed joy and friendship at the opportunity to share the honor together.
