The sun has reappeared above the Stade de France as stadium staff work diligently to clear the water from the women's pole vault area in preparation for the women's 400-meter race.
The competition kicks off with Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic making a remarkable breakaway from the pack with 200 meters to go. Her lead is insurmountable as she widens the gap and maintains her position until the finish line.
