The Golden Gala is the fifth of the Diamond League meetings for 2013. Biggest upsets were Justin Gatlin over Usain Bolt. Murielle Ahoure upset Allyson Felix in the 200 meters. In a titantic battle over the pole vault, Raphael Holzdeppe, one of Germany’s fantastic pole vaulters, equaled his personal best of 5.91m, clearing on third attempt, to defeat Renaud Lavillenie. Brittney Reese won the long jump on her fifth jump, with a 6.99m, overcoming Janay DeLoach Soukup’s 6.97m jump right before her!
