Pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis is rarely beaten and he outsprinted 400m hurdler Karsten Warholm in the hotly-anticipated 100 metres exhibition race in Zurich on Wednesday, which brought the two world record holders together in a neutral event.

Duplantis was quickest off the blocks and finished with a very respectable time of 10.37 seconds, with Warholm trailing all the way and posting 10.47.
