Miss for Mazuryk at 5.80. This height would equal his season best.

According to Aussie commentators it was always Steve's plan to come in at 585

Uh oh another medal ceremony (delay).

But Lavillenie got his jump in before it. A make! He resumes the lead!

Yes, that is what he announced ahead of time, but he initially told the officials 5.75, so I think he wanted to leave his options open in case everyone else did bad. No need to come in higher than necessary to medal.

Miss for Gibilisco, so he is out and without medal.

[rainbowgirl28]

Mazuryk has passed his remaining two attempts at 5.80. He is in second and cannot move up by clearing.

[rainbowgirl28]

Mesnil clears! He moves into the lead over Lavillenie!

[rainbowgirl28]

Miss for Gripich.

[rainbowgirl28]

Miss for Dossevi. It's a PR if he makes it, but I am sure he really wants to help France sweep the medals!

IAAF: 20:03 Leasey - Heighest ever opening height in a world champs before today was 5,75m - Markov 2001.

[rainbowgirl28]

Gripich misses his second attempt.

Berlino is hilarious, I wish he would hang out at the pole vault (and that they would show it)
