I hear Lukyanenko has pulled out.

I am going down there and plan to have live updates!

[rainbowgirl28]

OK sorry it took me forever to get the internet working here! I am in the stands at Hayward Field, we are about to get underway.

[rainbowgirl28]

The weather is great. Cool but I am sure it feels awesome to the athletes. I had to run around to get my internet working, so I am very comfortable in my t-shirt.

They turned the pit around, but then the wind shifted, so now it seems like they are running into a bit of a headwind. It's not blowing the wind sock very hard though.

Height progression is 5.41, 5.51, 61, 71, 76, 81...

After being announced they all are taking a few more warmups. (The officials are being nice, they were supposed to start)

OK the bungee just came down, the bar is about to go up.

[rainbowgirl28]

Jeng up. He has decent height over the bar. Hits it pretty hard on the way down but it stays up!

[rainbowgirl28]

Pauli knocks the bar off on the way up. The windsock is flat.
