I hear Lukyanenko has pulled out.

I am going down there and plan to have live updates!

OK sorry it took me forever to get the internet working here! I am in the stands at Hayward Field, we are about to get underway.

The weather is great. Cool but I am sure it feels awesome to the athletes. I had to run around to get my internet working, so I am very comfortable in my t-shirt.

They turned the pit around, but then the wind shifted, so now it seems like they are running into a bit of a headwind. It's not blowing the wind sock very hard though.

Height progression is 5.41, 5.51, 61, 71, 76, 81...

The announcer just said everyone will come in at opening height. Order is:

Jeng
Pauli
Mack
Scott
Lanaro
Sawano
Miles


After being announced they all are taking a few more warmups. (The officials are being nice, they were supposed to start)

OK the bungee just came down, the bar is about to go up.

Jeng up. He has decent height over the bar. Hits it pretty hard on the way down but it stays up!

Pauli knocks the bar off on the way up. The windsock is flat.

Tim Mack bails.
