Nice run for Merritt.
Even nicer 1st attempt clearance for Isi. :)

1st attempt miss for Murer. If the team aspect is really important, then she ought to pass now. She's gotta clear something higher to get ahead of Isi, so she might as well try to put on some pressure.

But she doesn't. 2nd miss for Fabiana. But now she passes to 4.65.

Now of course Isi passes at 4.65. Kind'a saw that coming I guess. :)

3rd miss for Murer. :(

So now I guess it's just a matter of how high Isi wants to go. Sure haven't gotten to see much of this competition. :mad:

I guess we understand now why the results were so poor (along with some attitudes) yesterday. Hopefully things will run a little smoother today.

We saw Bubka and Petrov sitting together in the stands. But Stones gave Bubka an extra 5 cents for his record.

1st attempt miss for Buller. Brits and Sawano passing.

Now Hooker misses his opener.

Averbukh misses too.

Mesnil clears to grab the lead! Chiaraviglio misses.

Hooker goes clear on his 2nd attempt.

Live scoring doesn't show Starodubtsev passing, but doesn't show him jumping either. Wonder what's up?

Finally got to see a vaulter! Chiaraviglio clear on 2nd attempt. Got to see Kouroupakis miss on his last attempt.
Now Buller is up, but misses. :(

Averbukh starts down the runway then balks. Still has 20 seconds left. Goes again but bails out.
