Yes, I am getting up at 2am...

So.. I get up and go to get some breakfast at 4:30am and run into people I know that have yet to go to bed. And for some reason, as soon as you tell people you got up at 4am to watch the Olympic pole vault prelims, you get made out to be the weird one!

I believe the live Xs and Os will be here: http://www.london2012.com/athletics/eve ... index.html

Oh heyy looks like they started early?! Just saw Derem Miles bail on his second attempt at 5.20... trying to find Xs and Os...

[rainbowgirl28]

Yoo Kim brushes off his second attempt at 5.20. Still can't find the Xs and Os...

[rainbowgirl28]

Maia makes 5.20 on his third attempt. Xs and Os finally posting at http://www.london2012.com/athletics/eve ... -101214634
Miles bails on his third attempt, not the end to his Olympic career that he wanted

[rainbowgirl28]

Yoo Kim also misses his third at 5.20.

[rainbowgirl28]

Bar now going to 5.35.

At 5.20, clears by Bychkov, Filippov, Horvat, Arents, Tsivonchyk, Maia. Miles, Kim NH.

[rainbowgirl28]

Kudlicka clears 5.35 easily on his first attempt. Apparently so does Mazuryk, though I didn't see it.

[rainbowgirl28]

Yamamoto misses, big blow through. Quick legs on him!
