Golden Gala - Isinbayeva 5.03 New World Record!!

[roger/over]

It should be 6:30 in Rome just now, so that great field of vaulters may already have started their warm-up jumps.

Did anybody remember to put Rainbowgirl on a plane so we can have the kind of vault-by-vault postings she gave us for the Olympic trials?

Hope somebody will tell us of any way to get standings during the course of the event.

Not sure if I will be able to. The internet generally sucks where I am living now.

Here is the meet website: http://www.goldengala.it/

It looks like the javelin runway intersects the pole vault runway, and there is a javelin competition that runs before the main meet starts, so no pole vault warmups yet.

Height Progression: Pole Vault W: 4,20 - 4,35 - 4,45 - 4,55 - 4,65 - 4,70 - 4,75 - 4,80 + 5cm


Any guesses as to what Isinbayeva will come in at? I'd guess 4.65.

I don't know if it's just me, or if the site's getting swamped, but I can't connect to it. It seems like last year they got swamped too, so getting live results was nearly impossible.

I'm having the same problem.

Now it looks like Feofanova made her first, but Rogowska didn't.

And now we've seen Rogowska's 2nd miss.

[rainbowgirl28]

They showed Rogowska's 2nd attempt miss at 4.45, it wasn't a very good jump

[BruceFlorman]

Rogowska and Costa are out already. :-(
