Murer times out!

But that Belarussian passed 4.50 which Murer cleared. Did she make 4.55 on her 3rd?

I don't recall a Q round ever being shut down early just because they were "close enough to 12 and didn't feel like going up another bar." I think if they have something like 11 clear at 4.55 and 3 out but tied at 4.50, they might take all 14.

Murer aborts, tries again... she aborts again and times out! She is almost certainly not going to make finals, she is now in 14th place!
