Lavillenie misses!

20:27 Moderator - Now Lavillenie and Mesnil must match it; if they don't, it's silver for Mesnil and bronze for Lavillenie. (If they do, it goes to 5.95m.)
20:28 Moderator - Lavillenie misses his first attempt at 5.90m. He has only one more. Mesnil will be up next but might be delayed by the next relay start.

If Mesnil clears this he and Hooker will tie for the lead.

Hooker is about a head taller than Lavillenie :P

Bail for Mesnil. He has one attempt left.
