Doha Diamond League Live Updates: Karalis Leads Men's Pole Vault; Davisleydi Velazco Wins Women's Triple Jump

Karalis goes up from 5.42 and jumps straight to 5.62, oh, he's got it, leading the field right away. Abdelsalam, the home favorite, steps up and clears 5.62 as well, staying right with him. Then Kendricks comes through and gets his 5.62. Three of them locked in at the same height, and they're hunting higher.

1. Davisleydi Velazco - 15.13 (+1.3)

2. Leyanis Pérez Hernández - 14.97 (+2.5)

3. Saly Sarr - 14.86 (+1.2)

Pérez Hernández still holding the lead at 14.97. Velazco fouls this round but her 14.97 keeps her right there in second. Sarr gets 14.60 here but she's still third with that 14.86 from round two backing her up. Pérez's still the one to beat, but it's tight at the top.

Pérez Hernández bounces back after that foul and she's straight to 14.97, oh, there's the move. She's leading it now. Povea improves to 14.58, still solid. Lafond gets to 14.52, staying in it. Sarr from Senegal hits a personal best at 14.86 with a favorable wind. So it's Perez out front after round one, but Povea and Lafond are right there hunting.

And there's the first one. Povea nails it, 14.42 right out of the gate, season's best, wind just right at +1.0. Oh, that's a good start for Cuba. Lafond's up next and she's going 14.31, fighting a headwind at -0.2, not bad, not bad.

Then Pérez Hernández steps in and, no, fouled it. Gone. The wind's with her at +1.6 but she's over the line. Povea's leading this as round 1 is underway and she's looking smooth doing it.
