Lavillenie's 20-win streak ends in chilly Stockholm

Olympic champion and world record holder Renaud Lavillenie suffered a surprise defeat in the pole vault at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting on Thursday, just five days after the Frenchman wrapped up a third consecutive European title.

On a cold night in the Swedish capital, Lavillenie failed three times to clear 5.60m, a height well outside his world record of 6.16m.

His defeat brought to an end his run of 20 consecutive victories.
