OG WPV qualifying - Several surprises!

[achtungpv]

She is a beast of a girl!

A cow is a beast.

Lotout over on her third, pumps her first in relief.
Buchler makes it big on her third attempt too!

[achtungpv]

Parnov intentionally fouls her third. Wow.

[achtungpv]

Wind sock is showing a mild cross wind.

[rainbowgirl28]

Parnov aborts, does not try to salvage it and walks up on the pit. NH.
Holm also aborts, nearly times out, knocks off the bar on the way down. NH.

[rainbowgirl28]

12 clear 4.10, 4 NH, bar goes to 4.25!

Close-up shot of Isi with a towel over her head and wrapped in plastic. Holly didn't say it, but I will... she does look like a homeless person!

[rainbowgirl28]

Bar at 4.25, Dennison bails.
Abiko the first over, she makes it easily.

[achtungpv]

The Japanese vaulter has one of the weirdest pole carries and plant I've ever seen. Her top hand is kind of in front of her body as she runs. She's tall and fast though.

[achtungpv]

Glad to see Lacy has overcome taking off 4' feet under most of her career and now only appears to be 2' under. It makes my shoulder hurt.

[rainbowgirl28]

Tavares comes down on the bar to miss her first at 4.25.
Lacy Janson up! She looks sharp in the all-red Team USA uniform. She goes wide right but clears the bar!

[rainbowgirl28]

Bengtsson clears 4.25 on her first. Lots of height.
Choi aborts and times out.
