Zurich: Pole vault king Armand Duplantis beat 400m hurdles master Karsten Warholm in a one-off 100m exhibition race in Zurich on Wednesday.
Pitched as "100m to settle it all, a battle of legends", Sweden's Duplantis used all his raw runway speed to belt out to an incredible start he never ceded.
Norway's Warholm, in lane six, one outside the Swede, never looked like reeling in his opponent, who won in 10.37 seconds.
Duplantis, the newly-crowned double Olympic champion who has broken the pole vault world record an incredible 10 times, even threw across a cheeky peak to his right as he went through the line.
