I am also updating my Twitter, but I will be giving more detailed updates here. I keep getting my Twitter shut down for tweeting too much during meets!

The video feed is up and running. Looks like they are about to introduce the men.

[rainbowgirl28]

Michalski had a bunch of stuff written on his shirt, but I missed it.

[rainbowgirl28]

And we're off! Bar at 5.50. Hooker passes, Kudlicka makes easy.

[rainbowgirl28]

Filippidis brushes the 5.50 bar pretty good on the way down but it stays! He had good height on it.

[rainbowgirl28]

Lukyanenko came up short and crashed down on the bar for the first miss of the finals.

[rainbowgirl28]

Haha the officials can't be bothered to step up onto the pit to put the bar onto the automatic standards, they have to use putter uppers to get the bar there.

[rainbowgirl28]

Mesnil looked a little sloppy but makes 5.50 with ease.

[rainbowgirl28]

Hometown fave Lewis kicks off the bar on the way up. Walker and Holzdeppe pass.

Was that a tailwind I saw?
