OG WPV qualifying - Several surprises!

[rainbowgirl28]

Boyd misses her first at 4.50, not even close.
Now for Isinbayeva... she is using a UCS/Spirit pole with red wrap.

Isi way over thinking her grip.

Isi 1 1/2 feet over.

It looks like the sun just came out. Isi taking her time.

Ryzih over clean.
Isi wayyyyy over.

NH for Feofanova just like in her first OG in Sydney.

Well the contenders are definitely separating themselves from the pretenders.

None of the top women are having any issues with the wind.

[rainbowgirl28]

Feofanova passed her third attempt at 4.40, so she only gets one at 4.50 and it is a miss. She is out. No finals. NH.

[rainbowgirl28]

Strutz over easily on her second.
Pyrek misses her second.

How far is Wimbledon from the Oly stadium? My stepson was watching the Bronze medal tennis match in the other room, but says play was suspended for rain just now.

Google Maps says it's a little over 11 miles between the venues, so I guess that rain at Wimbledon doesn't mean much for the track.

Shame about Feo.

Ptacnikova misses her first attempt at 4.50, brushes it on the way down.
Boyd aborts and times out.
Feofonova crying.

Janson aborts, runs back, almost out of time... runs through. Second attempt.
Boyd aborts.
Murer way over, brushes the bar but it stays!
