Rio Olympic medallist Eliza McCartney has fallen shy of a second medal with a sixth-placed finish at the women’s pole vault in Paris.Â
McCartney looked strong through the first heights of 4.60m and 4.70m but just missed out on advancing past 4.80m for a shot at the medals.Â
Fellow Kiwis Imogen Ayris finished 12th and Olivia McTaggart 13th after both failed at 4.70m, with Ayris setting a new personal best.Â
