New Zealand pole vaulter Eliza McCartney has failed to fire at a second straight Diamond League meet, this time in Stockholm.
The Rio Olympic bronze medallist cleared 4.20m but missed three attempts at 4.40m.
The 20-year-old was among the favourites in the nine-woman field.
Her personal best of 4.82m was
the third highest among the group.
McCartney is next scheduled to compete at the London Diamond League meet next month.
