Looks like they are just getting underway.

Opening height is 5.45

Gibilisco, Stevenson, Lobinger, and Walker all pass to 5.60.

Pavlov clears on his first, Miles on his second, Blom and Mack take 3 attempts.

19:45 : They are currently at 5.45 metres in the pole vault
19:46 : World Champion Rens Blom has 2 failures at this height - so maybe he prefers the bad conditions he had in Helsinki
19:46 : he is over at his third try

Everybody clears 5.60 on their first attempt except Stevenson and Blom.

19:59 : up to 5.60 in the pole vault
20:01 : all remain in contention at this height
20:03 : Toby Stevenson has a second failure at this height

Stevenson clears on his third. Blom has 2 misses and appears to pass his third attempt.

Bar goes up to 5.70. Gibilisco passes.

At 5.70, Gibilisco and Stevenson pass. Lobinger and Walker clear on their first to tie for the lead. Blom appears to be out of the competition. Second attempts are up for Pavlov, Miles, and Mack.

Pavlov, Miles, and Mack all miss on their second attempt.

Pavlov misses his third. Miles passes his third. Mack misses his third.

Bar goes up to 5.78.

Walker passes 5.78.

Standings right now are:

1 2 Tim LOBINGER GER 5.70
1 1 Brad WALKER USA 5.70
3 8 Giuseppe GIBILISCO ITA 5.60
3 7 Igor PAVLOV RUS 5.60
5 4 Derek MILES USA 5.60
6 3 Timothy MACK USA 5.60
7 6 Toby STEVENSON USA 5.60
8 5 Rens BLOM NED 5.45

Gibilisco and Stevenson are still alive after passing 5.70, Miles has one jump left, and of course Lobinger and Walker are still alive.

I am talking to people watching the video feed. They say that Pavlov looked good, had huge height, but knocked it off.

Mack looked flat, didn't turn up his last jump.

Lobinger and Stevenson had good height over 5.70.

Gibilisco, Stevenson, Miles, and Lobinger all miss their first attempt at 5.78. That means Derek Miles is out, finishes with a 5.60 clearance.

Gibilisco misses his second.

Toby has a good second attempt at 5.78 but comes up a bit short.
