Brad shaking his head. Says something about getting off the pole as quick as he could.

Bar going to 5.60. Lavillenie the only vaulter yet to enter. Hooker holding court with Kucheranu and Kim. He is telling everyone to pass to 5.65.

16 have cleared 5.60, Lavillenie yet to enter... passing seems risky to me, they won't take 17 to the final. No way.

Not sure what the auto qualifier is since the London2012 site SUUUUUUCKS. Probably at least 5.70.

Mohr looks sleazy with all that hair product and that scraggly beard! I'm sure he's a nice guy though :)

The guys are not all buying Hooker's advice. Mesnil takes the first jump at 5.60 but it's a miss.

I hear that 5.70 is the auto, but I doubt we get there.
Kucheryanu misses his first attempt at 5.60.

Miss for Michalski as well, he is questioning the standard setting.

Walker jumping at 5.60, he is down on misses and can't afford to take chances. A first attempt clear here will probably make finals. He clears easily!

Michalski sneaks over the bar on his second attempt.
Grande has a yucky takeoff and misses.
