They still haven't showed any pole vault, though they did make mention of Pyrek's performance at Polish NCs and Rogowska's injury.

Finally some pole vault!

Hahahahaha I can hear Jeff Jartwig in the background talking about poles!

Averbukh is up. They've spent at least the past minute showing him on the runway waiting to go. Looks like he was waiting for the gun to go off.

He plants the pole but does not swing. His knee both have a wrap on them.

They still have not indiciated the height.

The height is 5.70.

Efremov is up. He bails as well.

He has cleared 5.50 prior to this and is currently sitting in 4th.

Chistiakov bails as well! He also has cleared 5.50.

Averbukh makes it easily on what I assume is his second attempt!

Chistiakov starts to swing but ends up bailing out as well on his second attempt at 5.70.

Looks like he has been waiting for something...

He's on a Pacer Carbon, but not one of his specially wrapped ones.

He clears the bar!

5.70 on his third attempt. He looks pretty happy about it. Chistiakov caught his step.

Looks like Averbukh just cleared the next height. They were showing a race, but you could see the pole vault at the same time.

I would guess it was 5.75. He hit it pretty good but it just wiggled a lot and stayed up.

Of course I could be totally wrong, since they didn't comment on it. That could have been a 3rd attempt clearance for Chistiakov at 5.70.
