Steve Hooker is heading home primed for world championship success after soaring to his fourth pole vault title in Europe in a month.

The world No.1 ranked Australian cleared 5.70 metres to win at the Folksam Grand Prix in Gothenburg, Sweden on a count back from American Jacob Pauli and hometown hero Alhaji Jeng.

Hooker, 25, has finished on the podium in six of his last seven competitions in Europe and now returns to Perth to prepare for the world championships in Osaka, Japan starting later this month.

"This was my third comp in a week, the worst result being second and the worst height 5.70m, so it's coming along quite nicely," said Hooker.

"My aim was consistency on this trip and I think I've achieved that.

"I have had a couple of comps over 5.80m, I know my poles and I know my run up."

"I'm looking forward to getting home, sleeping in my own bed and staying in my own house, training and getting ready for worlds."

Hooker prevailed in Gothenburg after he, Pauli and Jeng had unsuccessful attempts at 5.85m.

"With three guys over 5.70m it looked like being pretty exciting," Hooker said.

"But then Pauli did his hamstring on his first attempt at 5.85m and that seemed to take the sting out of it.

"It made everyone a bit cautious."

NSW middle distance runner Lachlan Chisholm also won at the meeting, taking the 1500m in 3:39.20, the former national champion's best time of the season.

Victorian Collis Birmingham finished sixth in 3:42.90 while Paul Hoffman (NSW) finished 12th in 3:46.40.

In the 800m, rising Victorian star Jeff Riseley finished third in 1:47.93.

On his fifth attempt, NSW triple jumper Michael Perry launched himself 15.86 metres to place sixth.

The action moves to London on Friday night with Craig Mottram, John Steffensen, Sarah Jamieson and the men's 4 x 100m relay team all set to fly the Aussie flag.
