Rans XXX

Replay of Gibilisco's clear, not bad. That is giraffe tape on his pole! I had him show me at Pre a few years ago :)

Straub's clear was close.

Lewis's clear was ok, looked like he didn't swing all the way back but still made it easily.

Showed Rans' miss.

Mohr's third... oh a blow through, he pounds his fists into the pit and is super bummed.

Gripich clears on his third.

Hooker has now decided to pass to 5.80, too many people still in at 5.75.

They showed Gripich's clear, not a bad jump.

Jeng misses and they show it, he looked like he got yanked at takeoff. Man he's a beast! Out though.

Chistiakov a rather ugly miss for his third. He looks younger than his age IMO!

Sawano up for his final attempt, they are showing it live.

Not much wind.

He misses his third and lays on the pit, looks devastated. Nicked off the bar on the way up.

So 8 men cleared 5.65, and Hooker is now passing to 5.80.

Bar going to 5.75.
