Looks like Pyrek also missed her first attempt at 4.70. The results site is being slow to update and they haven't shown any more jumps on the video feed lately.

Rogowska missed her first at 4.75. They showed her second attempt, it was a bail.

Everyone else missed their second attempts at 4.75 as well. Isi passing, of course.

They show Rogowska's third attempt but she acme down on the bar and missed and it out.

I don't think anyone else made 4.75 either, so Isi is the winner and gets her share of the jackpot! Now we just have to see if she can get a world record and if Bekele wins and gets a share of the jackpot as well.

She's on her gold pole, holding about 1" from the top. Not a bad attempt, but it's a miss.

Second attempt... better than the first but still a miss.

Isi bails on her third attempt.

So no world record today, but she won her share of the jackpot.

Bekele has a big lead in the 5k so it looks like he'll claim his share as well. So "only" $333,333 for Isi ;)
