Feofanova finally clears 4.40 (her opener) on her 3rd attempt. :yes:

Gao has 1st attempt clearences at 4.25, 4.40 and 4.50 now.

Jennski clears her opener at 4.50 on her first attempt! :yes:

A big first attempt clearance at 4.60 for Gao!

IFK_Vaxjo on the T&FN board reports Badurova also clear at 4.60 on her 1st attempt.

Same for Golubchikova.

A miss at 4.60 for Feofanova on her 1st.

And a miss on her opener (as usual) at 4.60 for Isi. :confused:

I'm trying to reconstruct the X's and O's from the WCSN broadcast. Here's what I've got so far:

Feofanova clears 4.60 on her 2nd attempt.

They're clearly batching up the vault images on tape and playing a bunch all together.

It's reported on the T&FN board that Jenn passed at 4.60.

Golubchikova & Feofanova on their 3rd.

3rd attempt clearance at 4.76 for Feofanova!

So we know Feofanova took three shots at 4.76, but what about the other three?!?

Isi clears 4.82 on her first attempt!

They're listing Feo in 2nd at 4.76 and Jennski 3rd at 4.70, so I don't know if Jenn is out, or just passed at 4.76.

Third attempt bailout at 4.87 for Feofanova. :( Oh well, she did awfully well today, and didn't seem too upset about it.

I can just hear the Brit press talking about how Lena pointedly ignored Sveta while walking to the judges table to ask for her next height. ;)

Wrong! :confused: Isi called it a day with no WR attempt! What's up with that??? :deadrose:

I'm guessing that Gao & Badurova both took three shots at 4.70, but it seems fairly safe. Clearly they both ought to be able to open a little higher next time if they want to.

I'm also releaved that Jenn seems to be mostly over her injury. Osaka ought to be pretty good. :yes:

It doesn't shed a whole lot of light, but an AFP story about the meet says:
Yelena Isinbaeva won the women's polevault with a height of 4.82m despite suffering from a stomach injury with compatriot Svetlana Feofanova in second place with 4.76m.

If she really wasn't feeling well, I hope it's just a 24-hour bug and not an actual "injury".
