GLASGOW, March 4

Devynne Charlton blazed to a world record in the women’s 60 metres hurdles while pole vaulter Armand Duplantis pulled a remarkable performance out of what had been an off-night to win gold at the world indoor athletics championships on Sunday.

Charlton, a 28-year-old from the Bahamas, clocked 7.65 seconds to shave two-hundredths of a second off the previous record she had shared with American Tia Jones. The 24-year-old Duplantis cleared 6.05 metres to add a second world indoor title to his bulging resume. — Reuters
