Oh my goodness... they have these remote controlled trucks that are running around the field retuning the discuses. They are really funny.

They are introducing the vaulters now.

QUIT HITTING RELOAD EVERY TWO SECONDS YOU GUYS ARE OVERLOADING THE SERVER

Norberg hits the bar pretty good on the way down but it stays! Apparently he didn't get the memo about today being BLUE day. He is the only vaulter not wearing blue.
