OG WPV qualifying - Several surprises!

[rainbowgirl28]

Stefanidi aborts her second attempt, clock runs out.
Ptacnikova clears 4.40 on her second.

Besmer is in drag!

Nope that'd be Dennison doing a great Besmer impression.

[achtungpv]

If this keeps up, a first attempt at 4.50 will probably assure you a spot in the finals.

[rainbowgirl28]

Yikes! Dennison pulls a Besmer on her third attempt and gets spit out hard onto the runway! She will not clear 4.40 and will not make finals.
Boyd misses her second.
Holliday clears 4.40 on her third! She is PUMPED!

[rainbowgirl28]

Kiriakopoulou sort of bails sort of finishes but it's a miss and she is out. She was expected to make finals but will not.

[rainbowgirl28]

Sutej blows through on her second attempt at 4.40.
Li aborts but it is too late, her pole goes through and she is out.

[rainbowgirl28]

Buchler aborts and the clock runs out and she is out. The wind sucks.
Bengtsson so close but the bar falls and she is out.

[rainbowgirl28]

Li is listed as 5'11 130 pounds!
Mazuryk bails, I think that was her second attempt.

[achtungpv]

One of the worst run throughs. The Ukrainian nearly killed herself.

[rainbowgirl28]

Shelekh runs through again, is out. Only made 4.10.

[rainbowgirl28]

Stefanidi has big height but comes down on the bar and is out.

[rainbowgirl28]

So far 12 over 4.40 with a few yet to enter.

Savchenko runs through and is out.
Nikkanen knocks off the bar on the way up and is done.
