LOL the folks at the BBC are always really funny:

1438: There's our first view of Usain Bolt today. He is sitting in the corner of the warm-up area, biting his nails and sobbing. My mistake. He's jogging around the track without a care in the world. Cool as a cucumber.

Sawano and Czerwinski make on their first. Lanaro makes on his second. Rovan misses his second.

BBC: 1440: Britain's Steve Lewis appears to have passed at both 5.15m and 5.30m in the men's pole vault qualifying. With a personal best of 5.71m we have to presume he's keep his powder... er, pole, dry for now.

Steve Lewis out! That is definitely a surprise. The folks at the BBC aren't going to be too happy about that...

He's young talent though, I look forward to seeing what he does in the future

BBC: 1446: Head in hands for Steve Lewis as he fails for the third time at 5.45m in pole vault qualifying. With a PB of 5.71m, he'll be massively disappointed with that - and his Games are over already.

21:43
At 5.45m in the pole vault - still - there are now 17 men over that height. World Champion Brad Walker has passed up to 5.65m. Also not yet active is Australia's Steve Hooker.
