I'm sure that's mostly because of Lavillenie being the favorite, but whatever the reason...

THANK YOU!!!

Mohr clears! I knew he could do it :) It's a very good jump, he could make 5.90 and he must if he wants a medal.

Bail for Filippidis and he's out. IAAF site says 5.75 was a NR for him.

French TV shows a lot of pole vault because Renaud is fighting for a medal, don't expect to see anything more than Isi's attempts tomorrow...

I don't get why the Aussie networks don't do this when Hooker is on fire...

Right now the French are on fire with their vaulting and broadcasting!

Bar goes up to 5.90. This is getting good!!

The standings:
1- Lavillenie
2 - Michalski
3 - Borges
4 - Mohr
5 - Wojciechowski (only 2 attempts left)

Wojciechowski misses, so he only has one attempt remaining.

Because Australia only cares about cricket, afl and rugby and cares little about athletics which gets no funding what so ever!
