Australian pole vaulter Kurtis Marshall secured his first Diamond League victory in Stockholm, notably defeating world record holder Armand Duplantis by clearing 5.90 meters. Also at the Stockholm event, Switzerland's Audrey Werro set a new Diamond League record in the women's 800 meters with a time of 1:53.98, marking the third-fastest time in history and the best in 18 years.
