Tina Šutej added another strong international result to her season by taking third place at the Diamond League Final in Brussels. The Slovenian pole vaulter cleared 4.70 meters in a competition won by American Hana Moll ahead of European champion Angelica Moser of Switzerland.
Šutej reached 4.80 meters, a height she had already cleared this year, but knocked the bar off on all three attempts. That left the fight for victory to Moll and Moser.
Her clearance at 4.70 meters proved decisive. Šutej was among five of the seven competitors to clear the height, but she did it on her first attempt. Olympic champion Katie Moon of the United States and fellow American Emily Growe needed more attempts, putting the Slovenian record-holder in position to claim the final podium place.
Šutej had earlier cleared 4.40 meters at the first attempt and missed once at 4.55 meters.
