Still trying to find a site with the makes and misses.

Pole Vault starts in a few minutes, right now hammer is the only thing going on.

I love that the announcers have not started talking yet. Now watching the WPV introductions with no commentary, just the stadium announcer

And now the track events are going to get underway. Still looking for field event updates, but as far as I can tell the IAAF site is the official site for the meet and they don't seem to have them.

Weather is reported to be overcast and about 70°. Could rain later.

After showing 10 different replays from the steeplechase, they went back to the hammer Odds of seeing much pole vault seem low, it's a pretty packed schedule.

I don't understand how every major meet in Europe has live field event updates but this one. The IAAF really dropped the ball.

OK It looks like the bar is at 4.50. Rogowska needed two tries at 4.40. No indication of what anyone else has done. She is up for her first at 4.50 now...

makes it easily.

Golubchikova also needed two tries at 4.40. She is up now at 4.50...

also makes on her first try. She looks pleased. Has kinesiotape on her hammy.

Here is what we know so far...

Anna Rogowska 4.40 XO, 4.50 O
Yuliya Golubchikova 4.40 XO, 4.50 O
Chelsea Johnson ??
Fabiana Murer ??
Monika Pyrek ??
Elena Isinbaeva ??
Aleksandra Kiryashova ??
Silke Spiegelburg ??

Isi enters at 4.60 and misses her first attempt! She looks pretty flat. Not a pretty jump. Not on a colored pole, so I am thinking it's a small one.


Suddenly the announcers cut in for me and said Murer and Pyrek cleared something, but I couldn't hear the whole sentence. I am guessing they cleared 4.60.

Obviously I am really unsure about all of this:

Anna Rogowska 4.40 XO, 4.50 O, 4.60 X?
Yuliya Golubchikova 4.40 XO, 4.50 O, 4.60 ?
Chelsea Johnson ??
Fabiana Murer 4.40 ??, 4.50 ??, 4.60 O?
Monika Pyrek 4.40 ??, 4.50 ??, 4.60 O?
Elena Isinbaeva 4.40 PPP, 4.50 PPP, 4.60 X
Aleksandra Kiryashova ??
Silke Spiegelburg ??
