I can hear them introducing the pole vaulters in the background. Isinbayeva got a big cheer from the crowd.

I am hoping that Bruce Florman is watching this as well, because I am running around the house getting ready to go out of town.

For all of you too cheap to pay the whopping $5 of wcsn.com, you can watch it for free on the BBC website:

Yeah, I'm here. But I'm supposed to be working too. We'll see how much I get done for the next three hours.

I suppose the BBC feed is the same broadcast, but with a lower rate?

It was too confusing for me to try and watch both at the same time... it looked like the same video feed with different announcers? But I didn't watch it long enough to know for sure.

Oh I won't get in trouble at work for taking 3 hours off as long as I don't miss any deadlines. I'd just rather not be working at 11:00 pm tonight.

Seems like the broadcast director isn't going to show any of the wPV until the bar gets up a ways. So with no live scoring, there may not be much to talk about for awhile.

Edit: Oh, I'm wrong! Grigorieva over at 4.45! Feo too!

They proved up wrong!

Grigorieva clears 4.45 on her first. The screen showed she also had first attempt clearances at 4.20 and 4.35.

Did they just call Jenn Stuczynski Jenny?

Feofanova opens at 4.45 and clears it easily

That's how she's on the start list.

Edit: Sauer has 2nd miss at 4.45 and isn't happy.
