Shawnacy Barber wins gold in the pole vault as Olympic champion and world-record holder Renaud Lavillenie finishes in a disappointing share for third in Beijing.

Canada's Shawnacy Barber has caused a shock by triumphing in the pole vault final at the World Athletics Championships.

Olympic champion and world-record holder Renaud Lavillenie was the firm favourite heading into the event, but the Frenchman's three failures forced him to share bronze.

Barber passed his opening four heights at the first attempt, and despite being unable to clear 6m, his victory was confirmed as defending champion Raphael Holzdeppe needed three vaults to equal the Canadian's effort of 5.90m.

Polish duo Piotr Lisek and Pawel Wojciechowski joined Lavillenie in a share of third spot with successful vaults of 5.80m as the latter failed to meet expectations in a dramatic final.
