Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy decided to split gold in the pole vault after finishing in a tie at world championships.
“What an amazing night,” Moon said. “I hope everyone enjoyed that one.”Two years ago at the Tokyo Olympics, they paved the way to splitting a title when they finished deadlocked in the high jump. It sent Tamberi into all sorts of celebrations, including a belly-flop onto the track .
“He said there was going to be a jump off and I just assumed would want to so I just said, ‘Yeah,’” Moon said. “And then when it looked like she maybe didn’t want to , it was like, ‘I don’t want to, either,’” Moon said. “Like, ‘Did we just become best friends?’”“We were pushing each other to the absolute limit,” Kennedy said. “Absolutely incredible to share the medal with Katie Moon. We’ve been friends for so long, so it’s super special.
