BIZARRE: Aths olympic champ kennedy fires on diamond league return | Mind Blowing Facts

Olympic pole vault champion Nina Kennedy has produced her most significant result since the Paris Games with victory on return to Diamond League competition.

The 29-year-old Australian, who returned to action in February after 18 months out injured, was the only woman to clear 4.80m in Rabat, Morocco.

It was Kennedy's third win from as many competitions in her comeback, following victories at the Maurie Plant Meet in March and the national championships in April.

"I think the girls weren't expecting me to come out and perform the way I did, but I've been training really hard, so I'm really happy with how I went tonight," Kennedy said.

After claiming gold in Paris, Kennedy endured a torrid battle with soft-tissue injuries and underwent surgery last year.
