WC MPV Q - Walker DNS, Hooker in, Miles only American

[rainbowgirl28]

Olhovsky XXX.

Pit B is done at, but I believe they have to wait for Pit A to wrap up. 4 vaulters left on Pit A.

[rainbowgirl28]

Filippidis makes on his third attempt.

[rainbowgirl28]

Hooker shown rubbing goo into his pole.

They show Pavlov's 3rd... he makes! Chills on the pit for a few, very relieved. Almost brushed it on the way up.

[rainbowgirl28]

Yoo Kim makes on his third! Brushes it but it stays. He gives a yell


They say it is 26° Celsius = 78.8°

[rainbowgirl28]

Kudlicka not all that close at 5.55 and he is out.


SO now we finally go to 5.65... Hooker the only one left to enter... he is last on Pit A.

How the heck does Lavillenie hang on to the pole in the rain... I really don't think he has any tape on there! Just chalk!

[rainbowgirl28]

20 vaulters remain. I suspect anyone who makes this height makes finals, and maybe some of the first attempt clearances at 5.55.

[rainbowgirl28]

Lavillenie makes, of course, but they were showing deca discus, not PV

[rainbowgirl28]

Actually there are 21 vaulters alive, Bukhalov passed the last height.

[rainbowgirl28]

They show Straub make on his first, the crowd loved that of course. It was a clean jump.

Jeng runs through.

Now they show Lavillenie's jump, it was big, of course.

Bukhalov, Filippidis, and Gripich all miss (not shown).

[rainbowgirl28]

No more PV on UniversalSports now... Andreev, Chistiakov, Scott, and Dossevi all miss. Mazuryk makes.

[rainbowgirl28]

Lewis and Mohr miss.

[rainbowgirl28]

Sawano and Miles miss.
