20:34 : the world champion, Rens Blom went out at the opening height of 5.45m..
20:36 : Lobinger second failure at 5.78
20:36 : Gibilisco to take his htird attempt at this height

Gibilisco is on some weird tape job pole, my source can't tell what brand it is.

Misses his third attempt. Also came up short. Had the height but brushed it on the way down.

Gibilisco's pole reportedly has zebra spots, stripes, etc, and is very colorful.

I can't wait to see a picture!

Toby misses his third attempt. Hits it on the way up. Not a very good attempt.

3 Giuseppe GIBILISCO ITA 5.60
3 Igor PAVLOV RUS 5.60
5 Derek MILES USA 5.60
6 Timothy MACK USA 5.60

even more colorful than lobinger's pole???

[rainbowgirl28]

Lobinger misses! He's out. Brad is in position to win this thing. If Brad misses all three attempts there will be a jump off

[rainbowgirl28]

even more colorful than lobinger's pole???

Sources say equally colorful, but Lobinger's pole looks better. Gibilisco is unartistic

[rainbowgirl28]

Lobinger's third attempt was HUGE, but he came down on it again.

[rainbowgirl28]

The results website blog says: 20:43 : the pole vault is over with Lobinger the winner with 5.70 metres on countback from Brad Walker with the same height, Gibilisco is third


But I think they are wrong. Brad is still jumping for one thing! And if he goes out at 5.86, he and Lobinger both have clean records until the height they went out.

What I wonder is what heights they would use for a jump off since they went out at different heights.

[rainbowgirl28]

Brad clears 5.86 on his first!!!! He is the winner! Wins $30,000!!

[rainbowgirl28]

The final standings are:

1 1 Brad WALKER USA 5.86
2 2 Tim LOBINGER GER 5.70
3 8 Giuseppe GIBILISCO ITA 5.60
3 7 Igor PAVLOV RUS 5.60
5 4 Derek MILES USA 5.60
6 3 Timothy MACK USA 5.60
7 6 Toby STEVENSON USA 5.60
8 5 Rens BLOM NED 5.45


With Brad still alive in the competition.

Brad's jump was reportedly decent with room to go a little higher.

[rainbowgirl28]

Brad is passing to 6.04! Will attempt a new American Record!

That would be quite the way to join the 6 meter club!
