ONE OF THE EVENT’S PIONEERS was multiple-WR-setting Australian Emma George, who was the first 3-time No. 1 (1996–98). And that was the end of Aussies leading the event until Nina Kennedy’s ascension this year. Her single-loss campaign featured 5 DL wins to go with Oly gold for an obvious No. 1 over Alysha Newman and Molly Caudery…
NEWMAN vs. CAUDERY could be justified in the other order. They split their meetings 3–3 and the Briton won the World Indoor and had the year’s highest height. She didn’t make the Paris final, however, and the Canadian’s bronze gave her the edge…
THE SILVER WENT TO Katie Moon, but that was the only time she beat Newman or Caudery, who had 3–1 scores against the reigning No. 1.
