Silva clears! That is just under her PR of 4.66 and ties her for the lead.

Murer clears the bar at 4.65 as well. Isinbayeva up now...

Video: Ptacnikova hits the bar good on the way down but it stays. Strutz has a pretty big jump.

Also very interesting to note, Silva from Cuba has the same long jump style run as Borges!

They must be recruiting pole vaulters from the long jump stock over there!

Thanks. Vanya usually sleeps through the night, but he woke us up a bit early this morning. Evidently he wanted to make sure that I didn't miss seeing Auntie Lena. :)
