Bubka on the French program! I think this website has earned itself a bookmark for future IAAF competitions!

Says Renaud looks good. Talked about Bolt, Bladerunner. etc.

Cool, they showed Didenkow's first jump, a miss that was not terribly close, his legs brushed it off on the way up.

Lewis also missed.

Broken pole for Kudlicka!

Pretty standard stuff. Renaud is doing good.

Just had a pole break, Bubka said, "You know the pole vault is always for serious men." lol

The Czech just showed his bad bruise to his coach. Looks like a Mississippi housewife on the wrong end of a trailer park argument.

Kudlcka has a nice battle wound on his side.

Sounds like the EuroSport feed is now showing the 5.65 jumps.

Just showed Hooker in the stands. Looks like he's caught the yellow fever judging by the local talent he's macking on.
