Olympic gold and silver pole vault medallists Tim Mack and Toby Stevenson will go head-to-head in the Prefontaine Classic meeting next month.
The American pair who fought an exciting pole vault battle in Athens last summer, top the entry list for the Eugene meeting on June 4.

Joining them in a star-studded field will be fellow American's, Sydney Olympic champion Nick Hysong, American record holder Jeff Hartwig, Derek Miles, Brad Walker and Tommy Skipper,

2001 World champion Dmitry Markov of Australia, and Danish national record-holder Piotr Buciarski, provide the overseas opposition.

That means of the seven active vaulters worldwide who have cleared the magic six-metres barrier, four will be in action in the country's top outdoor meeting.
