Lavillenie had won the European title six weeks earlier in a great battle with Otto and Holdzeppe, and that confrontation was repeated in London. Eight men cleared 5.65 in the final while reigning champion Steve Hooker and leading American Brad Walker no-heighted. Up through 5.85, only Lavillenie had a perfect record, but he slipped to third when the athletic Holdzeppe and the more powerful Otto both cleared 5.91 first time. Lavillenie passed to 5.97, and on his final attempt went clear for the gold medal. Neither German could make a further clearance, leaving the 1-2-3 exactly as it had been in Helsinki in June. For the slight but gymnastic Lavillenie, it was particularly sat- isfying having only won bronze in the 2011 World Championships after being favourite to win.
