Gao Shuying is out! She will likely finish in last place in the women's pole vault final, a big blow to the Chinese.

LOL from the BBC:

1318: Next 200m heat. Help is needed in the Bird's nest. The pole vault event is held up because someone's lost their ummmmm... pole vault. Anybody seen one hanging around?


This must have been the delay earlier! I wondered if it was hard to tell whose tube is whose in the pole holder thing, perhaps it is hard!
