Finally a windsock shot. Looks like a gentle breeze, slight tail.
Maia misses his third, not even close.

Filippov makes his first attempt. Did I detect a touch of Jason Colwick in that takeoff?
Derek is chilling next to Hooker, he's too mature to be a bad sport.
Tsivonchyk bails on his first attempt at 5.35.

Jeng bails on his second attempt.

Yang asks for a clap, I don't hear much love from the crowd. He clears on his second attempt though.

Kucheryanu has lots of height, but knocks off the bar on the way down.

[rainbowgirl28]

Yurchenko misses his second, not that close.

[rainbowgirl28]

Arents clears on his second attempt. The glasses make him look like an MIT professor that vaults as a hobby.

[rainbowgirl28]

Bergius bails his second attempt.

[rainbowgirl28]

Starodubtsev sneaks over on his second attempt. Pole vaulting is harder when you have a legal runway...

Borges bails, lacks confidence at TO. He was wayyy under, looked like his hands were late getting up.

Wojciechowski sort of bails late in the vault. Poland didn't even want to take him to the Olympics, his recent form was so bad. That was his second attempt.
