Dossevi misses his second. He has to make this height to get back into medal contention.

Dossevi misses his third, a French sweep of the medals is not to be.

Holy Cow, they just showed Lavillenie's third at 5.75. He got LUCKY! He banged the heck out of the bar but it stayed up.

Now they showed Straub's third, not a bad jump but he knocked it off on the way up.

It would be cool if it's Danny Ecker inside Berlino - he could have a vault himself :)

Now they showed Lewis, he came down on the bar.

Now they show Lavillenie at 5.80, much better. A nice clean jump, though not his best ever.

They show Gibilisco's third, he sort of came down on it.

Now Mesnil's 5.80 jump, a nice clearance.

Mazuryk misses his first attempt at 5.85, he has one attempt remaining. A PR if he makes it.

I think despite that mess up at 5.75 lavillenie looks really good right now.. we still don't know how hooker is going to be..
