Welcome to the pole-vaulting drive-in
In the absence of world record holder Armand Duplantis, Blech cleared 5.55 metres as pole vaulters competed in the first sports event in front of spectators in Germany since the COVID-19 outbreak.
Fans, abiding by social distancing rules, watched from their cars, either live or on a giant screen as the night settled on Duesseldorf’s Autokino. Some honked their support and showed patience as the event, which featured mostly second-string pole vaulters, was suspended for 20 minutes because of strong winds.
The event, sponsored by PSD Bank, helped raise money for a child cancer association at the Duesseldorf’s university hospital. Athletic competitions resumed on Thursday, but with no spectators, with the Oslo leg of the Diamond League.Writing by Julien Pretot; editing by Pritha Sarkar
