If Hooker is going for gold he would pass, but I think he would be happy with any medal.

Dear Lavillenie,

You should pass your remaining attempt at this height. You should also open higher.

Thanks,
Pole Vault Power

Mazuryk misses. Lavillenie passes.

Bar now to 5.90. If Hooker NHs, Mazuryk gets bronze.

Hooker doesn't look anywhere near as hurt as he did in the qual. rounds... that was so close of a miss
