Olympic pole vault champion Nina Kennedy continued her dominant Wanda Diamond League form with another victory at the city event in Zurich's Central Train Station on Wednesday evening.
Kennedy cleared 4.87m to notch up her fourth Diamond League win of the season and her second in a row since she won the Olympic title in Paris.
It was also the third time in a row that Kennedy had won at Weltklasse Zurich, having claimed the Diamond League title at the Swiss meeting in 2022 and set a new personal best of 4.91 in the station last year.
"I am happy to win today. I wanted to come here and jump 4.95m. Unfortunately I didn't but I still love Zurich," she said.
Kennedy was one of three athletes to clear 4.82m as the field was steadily whittled down at every height.
Five athletes bowed out after failing to clear 4.67m, including Eliza McCartney and Katerina Stefanidi. Sandi Morris cleared 4.67m but was unable to go any higher, while Angelica Moser managed a solid 4.77m to reach fourth place in front of her home crowd.
That left the three Olympic medallists Kennedy, Katie Moon and Alysha Newman to attack 4.82m. Both Kennedy and Newman cleared at the second attempt, while Moon sailed over on her third jump.
Neither the Canadian nor the American could go any higher, but there was no stopping Kennedy, who took just one jump to clear 4.87m.
Having secured victory and failed once at 4.92m, the Australian set her sights on a new personal best and Oceanian record of 4.95m. That ultimately proved a step too far, but Kennedy will no doubt be hoping to attack the height once again at the Diamond League Final next week.
The 2022 Diamond League champion goes into the final in Brussels as favourite, with Moser, Newman, Morris, Moon and Britain's Molly Caudery also having qualified via the Road to the Final.
