The wPV has been going for awhile I guess, but the webcast just started. We just saw Jillian Schwartz and Tatiana Polnova miss. I'm pretty sure it was Schwartz's third miss at 4.45. It's not entirely clear whether it was Polnova's second or third miss.

Steiner clears 4.55 on her first attempt!

Has she been with Adidas all along? It seems like she was in some other company's gear at Millrose.

Edit: I checked the photos, and she was in Adidas gear two weeks ago. I guess what had me confused was that she wasn't on the original Millrose start list. Since Adidas was the main sponsor there, why wasn't Steiner in right away?

Feo clears 4.55 easily by a foot.

Murer misses her first attempt at 4.65.

Same for Steiner.

Pavla Hamáčková−Rybová misses her first try at 4.65.

Oops! Isi blows her opener at 4.65.

Feofanova goes well clear on her 2nd attempt at 4.65, so I'm guessing Isi will pass now.

So what do I know? Isi takes a second shot at 4.65 and clears it.

A narrow miss for Feofanova on her first try at 4.73.

I think I heard the PA announcer in the background say Isi cleared, but they haven't shown it on video yet.

Yep, they just showed it. Well clear.

Now a 2nd miss for Feofanova. She had the height, but not the penetration.

Third miss for Feofanova. She bailed out way short. It probably had no effect, but it seemed unfortunate that she started her run just as the starter in the background announced "On your marks", so the crowd was completely silent.

Now Isi misses her first attempt at 4.94. Again, not quite enough penetration.

Ohhh! A seoncd miss, but closer this time. C'mon Isi, you can do it!

Aaaarg! Not this week.

Oh well ... one more opportunity next week in Paris.

They're saying Murer's 4.55 was the South American record, so good for her!
