Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol assert themselves at the front.

Keely Hodgkinson slots in immediately behind her rivals.

Here we go then.

The latest edition of the enthralling rivalry between Keely Hodgkinson, Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol is about to begin.

Will Werro reign again? Can Hodgkinson end the year on a real high? Or will Broeders-Bol complete her rise to the top of her new event?

Time to find out!

It's an emotional victory for Sandi Morris in the women's pole vault, based on her superior card, after both she and Hana Moll cleared 4.90m.

It looks like Morris is going to have a go at 5m before heading to her trophy too!

Keely Hodgkinson chose to skip the Diamond League Final because her body had not recovered physically from her efforts in chasing Audrey Werro at the European Championships in Birmingham.

Werro will remain favourite to triumph again here, having run the third, fourth and fifth fastest times in history during a stunning season.

Not only has it seen her assert herself as the leading athlete in the event, but it has also brought her within reach of athletics' longest-standing world record.

Hodgkinson ensured she made smooth progress in yesterday's semi-final, before Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol finished first and second in the other.

Each time this trio meets, it is billed as one of the races of the year. Each time, it delivers.

After a dominant indoor season in which she won world indoor gold and broke the indoor 800m world record, Keely Hodgkinson has been second-best in her meetings with Audrey Werro.

Overcoming the Swiss 22-year-old is one major problem, but there is also the matter of the fast-improving Femke Broeders-Bol.

While Werro has run three of the five fastest times in history this season, 400m hurdles world champion Broeders-Bol continues to go from strength to strength in her debut season over two laps.

Karsten Warholm, whose world record Alison Dos Santos broke last month, encounters no issues whatsoever in qualifying for the final.

The Norwegian clocks 47.68 seconds to set up a tantalising final with Dos Santos and Rai Benjamin tomorrow.

We're just 10 minutes away from what should be yet another thrilling women's 800m race.

The TV camera in the waiting room shows Keely Hodgkinson applying a bit of last-minute make-up, before jokingly beginning to do the same for Femke Broeders-Bol.

Nice and relaxed, then!

Hana Moll joins Sandi Morris in clearing 4.90m!

Looks like we're set for another captivating conclusion to the pole vault here.

The bar is raised to 4.95m.

Alison Dos Santos is not even trying. The Brazilian appears to have just jogged a 47.25-second lap of the track, over hurdles.

He even takes the time to look around and smile at American rival Rai Benjamin as they finish clear of the field.

Elsewhere, Greek two-time Olympic long jump champion Miltiadis Tentoglou has taken charge of that final with a second-round leap of 8.35m.

The next event on the track is the semi-finals of the men's 400m hurdles.

And there is a huge buzz around this event after Brazil's Alison Dos Santos broke the world record in Zurich with a time of 45.80 seconds.

Armand Duplantis is following this one closely in the stadium, after his victory in the men's competition last night.

Will Sandi Morris' decision to skip the previous height pay off?

Oh, it has! Duplantis is shown cheering from his seat as Morris matches her personal best with a clearance over 4.90m.

She's set to become the Ultimate champion unless Angelica Moser or Hana Moll can respond.

Three remain in contention in the women's pole vault final.

European champion Angelica Moser and Diamond League winner Hana Moll registered first-time clearances at 4.85m.

Sandi Morris, meanwhile, cleared 4.80m with her final attempt and chose to skip 4.85m, rejoining the competition at 4.90m.

They've all had one attempt at that new height, but nobody clears.

Hugely impressive by Klaudia Kazimierska.

She came in carrying the mantle of the favourite which she hasn't had all season, she was able to fly a little under the radar then use that finishing strike.

She hit the front early, she held, and when she was challenged, she was able to raise it again.

There's no way Georgia Hunter Bell relented any there, she was closing hard - she just didn't have enough to match that pace that Kazimierska has found toward the end of this season.

Georgia Hunter Bell clocked three minutes 57.72 seconds, with Polish 25-year-old Klaudia Kazimierska taking victory in 3:57.55.

So, so close to a fourth major title in 2026 for the Briton.

Still, she takes home $75,000. Not bad for someone who was still working a full-time job little over two years ago!

Georgia Hunter Bell did really well, much better than last week [in Brussels].

She knows she's been beaten by a woman at the top of her form, she's getting better every time.

Klaudia Kazimierskia was really, really strong, she didn't put a foot wrong.

What a finish!

Georgia Hunter Bell appeared to be completely stuck, but waited for the opportunity to open up before striking for home.

The Briton pulled alongside Poland's Klaudia Kazimierska on the bend but just can't quite overhaul the European silver medallist in the closing stages.

Brilliant racing.

Georgia Hunter Bell is completely blocked in.

But she finds a gap...

And now she's on the shoulder of leader Klaudia Kazimierska!

Georgia Hunter Bell is following the kerb, staying tucked in the group.

Agathe Guillemot is still leading this as they close in on the final lap.

Everyone is still in contention here!

This event is wide open in the absence of Kenyan star Faith Kipyegon, who ended her season early because of injury.

The win predictor tells us Georgia Hunter Bell will finish fourth, which feels a bit harsh. Has she managed to rest up since the Diamond League?

French athlete Agathe Guillemot decides to try and force a fast pace.
