Blanka Vlasic took her fourth Samsung Diamond League victory of the season thanks to a first attempt clearance at 2.02m in Paris on Friday.

In so doing, the Croatian increased her season's edge over American Chaunte Lowe to 4-2, with the latter topping out at 2.00m. Vlasic also broke an 11-year-old meeting record, particularly pleasing given the venue's hard surface, not one of her favourites on the circuit.

Svetlana Shkolina of Russia was third, clearing 1.96m.
