I saw most of the vaults so could describe them, but that would be pretty crap really. the Italian guy cleared 90 by quite a bit, but came down on top of it and it moved very slightly, but was a good high jump. Brits looked like he could have gone very high, but just seemed to get his timing wrong on top. We have a great service here, if you have interactive TV you can press a button and select the event you want to watch and you can watch it in full, which is great.

He did make the Olympic finals as a 20 year old in 2000 with an 18'8 1/4" PR...looks like he's starting to hit his stride...
