The WCSN schedule says they're starting at 11:00 am EDT, so I guess Athens is seven hours ahead.

Edit: Changed the title since the pole is done.

I asked the question there, but no response yet. It's not like I know how to fix his problem with the live results though.

Oh ... caught a glimpse of Pyrek in the background.

Bar going to 4.30 with Balti out now.

Pyrek & Murer both blew their openers.

I guess Jennski is passing at this height too. Yep -- live scoring just updated.

Gao and Strutz both clear on their 1st attempts. Pyrek and Murer clear on their 2nd.

[BruceFlorman]

We've lost Howe and Skafida now.

Looks like Pyrek and Gao are both passing at 4.40 now.

Murer, Stu and Strutz all miss their 1st attempts.

Oh man ... two misses for Jennski at her opening height now. C'mon!

Strutz takes the lead with a 2nd attempt clearance.

Murer clears on her 3rd.

[rainbowgirl28]

NH for Stuczynski... OUCH

[BruceFlorman]

Damn! Stu missed her 3rd.

Pyrek & Murer both passing at 4.45 now.

[rainbowgirl28]

Ouch... Russia is beating us by 1 point. A likely 9 points in the pole vault for them will not help

[BruceFlorman]

Finally some video! Strutz misses her 2nd attempt.

Strutz passes her 3rd, so the bar goes up with Gao leading.

Now Pyrek is up. And a bit angry. Now she missed.

Murer takes the lead with a 1st attempt clearance.

First miss of the evening for Gao.

Third for Strutz though, so she's gone.

Ouch! A second miss for Pyrek.

Dang! Now Monika is gone too. It doesn't look too windy, but the marks aren't that good tonight.
