June 8 (Reuters) - Australian ⁠pole vaulter Kurtis Marschall said ⁠he did not mean to spoil the ‌show but was delighted to bring Armand Duplantis' run of 40 straight victories to an end ​at his home Stockholm ⁠Diamond League meet ⁠on Sunday.

Marschall claimed his first Diamond League victory ⁠with ‌a clearance of 5.90 metres to finish ahead of the ⁠Swedish double Olympic champion.

"I did not ​mean to ‌spoil the (Mondo) show but I am ⁠so delighted ​with the win," Marschall said.

"It has taken a long while to get my first ⁠Diamond League victory and ​I really thought it would never come with Mondo here. This stadium is fantastic and ⁠the crowd were amazing despite their support for Mondo.

"We know he will be back as he won't like being ​beaten but he told ⁠me he was chuffed it was me. ​I will build on ‌this," added the two-time Commonwealth ​Games champion.
