Over half the field (those I've starred) are current or former national record holders. Still no meeting between USA record holder Stuczynski and Isi, but that is supposed to happen a week from today, in Rome.

If there's any live scoring for the PV, I haven't found it yet. They did show show Vanessa Boslak clear 4.21 on her second attempt, but otherwise I have no idea who's doing what - except I'm sure Isi is laying around, hiding under her hat.

They just showed Feofanova clearing her opener at 4.41.

We got to see Feofanova clear 4.51 on her first attempt, and they listed the other gal's who've cleared it also. I think they said Badurová, Golubchikova, Pyrek and Spiegelburg, but I'm not completely positive.

Well the video is cutting in and out for me, but it was in long enough for me to see Isi clear her opener at 4.61 by a fair height.

The folks on the radio stream just said that Golubchikova & Spiegelburg have both had third failures at 4.61.

Radio folks say Pyrek is first to clear 4.71.
They also just said only Pyrek, Feofanova and Isinbaeva are still in.

Okay! Just got to see Isi clear 4.71.
Feofanova also cleared, so they're all going to to 4.76 now.

Isi & Feo both passed at 4.76, then Pyrek missed twice there before passing her final attempt to 4.81 where she missed again, so she's out.
Now Feofanova misses her first attempt at 4.81.
Radio folks say Isi missed her first too.
The video is ~30 seconds behind. Isi knocked it on the way up.
But the TV guy said it was her 2nd attempt!?! I think that's wrong though.

Woo hoo! Isi cleared 4.81 on her 2nd shot!
They haven't said what's up with Feofanova. I'm pretty sure she was jumping ahead of Isi, so I assume she's got two misses. Will she pass now to 4.86?
Well, now I'm not sure if Svetlana is still in or not. Over on the T&FN board EPelle said Yelena had two misses at 4.81, so maybe that was a third attempt clearance.
But the TV guys just said it was her 2nd again. I'm so confused.

Alright!!! Isi cleared 4.91 ... and she's
really happy about it.
It was her 2nd attempt.
Now it appears she's going to attempt 5.02!
Bailed out on her first attempt.
Petrov appears to be pretty jovial nonetheless.
