More dumb comments from Eurosport:

Women's Pole Vault 20:36 Monica Pyrek, who inflicted a rare defeat on Isinbayeva in Helsinki the other night, isn't jumping. A shame.
Women's Pole Vault 20:34 Yelena Isinbayeva comes into the competition and immediately jumps 4.75 to take the lead. The opposition must be sick of the sight of the Russian!

Feofanova up for attempt 2.

Great attempt! Just barely comes down on the bar.

They didn't show Jenn's 4.75 second attempt... either they will show it out of order, or she bailed or ran through and they didn't think it was worth showing. That is my guess.

Jenn misses her third attempt at 4.75. My video froze up a bit so I didn't actually see the jump

Feofanova has another great attempt at 4.75!

She will finish 2nd and Jenn 3rd.

Eurosport: Women's Pole Vault 20:44 Isninbayeva wins the pole vault competition with a solitary jump.
Women's Pole Vault 20:44 Feofanova tries a third time at 4.75...she cannot clear it.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to gauge the quality, but Feo's 2nd looked better than Stu's 3rd. But the announcer says Feo's 3rd was her best, which isn't what I thought. So you'll probably want to look at the archive later and judge for yourself.

Isy jumps at 4.91...

A miss. She hits it on the way up. Not a particularly close attempt.

Attempt 2 for Isy...

A clearance at 4.91 for a world leader!

She brushes the bar but it stays up.
