Australian pole vault queen Nina Kennedy is soaring to new heights - and her timing couldn't be any better.
Under the bright lights and razzle dazzle of the Monaco Diamond League meet in Monte Carlo, one of her favourite destinations, the 29-year-old leapt to a personal-best 4.95m to obliterate her opposition on Friday night.
Her new Australian record placed Kennedy fifth on the all-time list and it was also good enough to be the best in the world for women's pole vaulting in the last five years.
