Borges is too tentative at 5.90. He will open it up on his 2nd.

Oh you've got to be kidding me... they showed Borges and my internet cut out right as he was going over the bar! :deadrose: It was a miss.

Fortunately I got to see Lavillenie miss. Looks like the pole is getting too small.

Michalski has a chance to take the lead, but 5.85 was a PR, so that seems like a stretch...

Not all that close for Michalski. Everyone misses on their first attempt.

Wojciechowski up, this is his second attempt at this height, but if he misses he is done.

He makes it!! Wojciechowski moves into the lead with a clutch clearance at 5.90! Hits it good on the way down but it stays!
