OG WPV Finals - JENN SUHR WINS GOLD!!!!

[rainbowgirl28]

Ptacnikova passed her third attempt.
Ryzih with big height but comes down on the bar. Bummer! She is 23, hopefully we see a lot more of her in the future.

Bar going to 4.65. 4 have cleared 4.55 and two passed to this height. Suhr and Spiegelburg only clean vaulters.

Suhr passing 4.65. Interesting!
Strutz up first. Kicks off the bar on the way up, lots of pole speed.

[rainbowgirl28]

The unflappable Silva is next, she asks for a clap from the crowd. She makes 4.65 easy! First one over.

Holy Castro! This Cuban is for real!

[master]

Silva has significantly less pole bend than the others.

[rainbowgirl28]

Spiegelburg up now. A clearance will move her into the lead. Taking her time, hoping for better wind... a make! Silva's was better though.

[rainbowgirl28]

Ptacnikova now up. She has two misses at the previous height, then passed her, so this is her only chance. A bail and she is out.

[rainbowgirl28]

Haha Ptacnikova puts her hand up to tell the camera guy to get out of her face.

Isinbayeva up now. She had a miss at the last height then passed, so she only has two attempts remaining. She looks very focused, doing her ritual. Clock has not started yet.

Suhr bundled up like she is vaulting in her ice-cold barn.

Why is Isi so concerned about the the spot on her pole between her grips? Weird.

[rainbowgirl28]

It's sloppy but Isinbayeva makes it cleanly and moves into a tie for second. She looks very relieved!
