Seriously, the london2012.com website is the WORST for vertical jumps. :crying:

Silva getting ready to take her first attempt now. She was a wrap on her thigh but it doesn't seem to be holding her back.

Lots of height for Silva but knocks off her first attempt at 4.45 on the way down. She reminds me of old school Lacy Janson, gripping way down on the pole and not getting a lot of bend.

Hometown favorite Bleasdale up now, entering the competition at 4.45. I see Julien telling her when to go.

She sinks on the pole and knocks off the bar on the way up.

Why do the vaulters keep looking to their left. Any idea what they are looking at?

Holliday waiting for the officials to remove the cone from the runway.

Not her best takeoff ever but she still almost makes the bar! Slight brush on the way down.

Yeah I think the coaches are to their left. Lots of the coaches are advising them on the wind.

Yes I believe so. I'm not a fan of the coaches giving them wind readings... it'll be different on the runway than in the stands.

Ptacnikova misses her first attempt at 4.45m, brushes it off on the way up. Not a bad jump.

Isi doing the hobo thing and hiding out under 50 layers of clothes/towels with her feet propped up.

It looks cold and windy out there.

Boslak very close but no luck either. No one has cleared 4.45 yet.
