They just showed one of Feofanova's jumps. I believe the bar was at 4.50? Not sure. The quality is low so it is hard to read the stuff at the bottom of the screen.
She looked good, cleared it easily.
They showed one of Jillian's jumps earlier, I think, but my video froze (it does that sometimes for me) and I missed it

They showed Isinbayeva's jump at her opening height. I still could not read the heights at the bottom. I would guess it was 4.60 or so.
She cleared it easily, but she didn't put a ridiculous amount of height on it or anything like that.

Women's Pole Vault 20:51 Getting interesting now...Isinbayeva jumps 4.60 to match Feofanova...still comfortable though.
Whoever has been doing the live updates for Eurosport lately sucks at their pole vault coverage.

Pyrek over 4.60 on her third attempt. She looks very relieved.
She was clean over it, but did not have much height over the bar. She'll need to improve things if she wants the next height.

Feofanova clears 4.70 on her first. She brushes the bar but it just wiggles a little and stays up.

Pyrek clears 4.70 as well. It did not say which attempt, but I would guess first or second. She had a few inches of height on it!

She seems a bit more demonstrative than she used to.

At 4.75 Isi takes the bar off with her chest on the way up.
Pyrek over 4.75 on 2nd attempt.
