Liu barely making into the pit, comes down on the bar.

I suspect most of the crowd will leave now, whatever is left. It's midnight!

Jiaoyou for Liu, but he doesn't clear. He's out as well.
23:57
The only 2007 World Championships medalist still vaulting is Danny Ecker.
23:56
Now Hartwig has a third miss, so he'll join Walker, Lobinger, Averbukh, and Mesnil as part of the massacre of former medalists in tonight's preliminary.

And it's over... 13 athletes cleared. I can't imagine they keep jumping.

Derek Miles is the only American to make the finals :crying: :crying: :crying:

Can he step it up and get a medal? We all know he is due for a PR...

So wait, they STARTED the competition at 9:00pm Beijing time? Why did they start so late? They knew it would take hours, Im sure that had some affect on the vaulters
Just you wait...

Results are now final, they have posted the q's on the live scoring.

Except there is no q by Gibilisco???

I don't understand why they don't have a q by Gibilisco... I understand breaking ties with misses when less than 12 clear the final height and you have to go back to the previous height... but these guys all (hypothetically) have jumps remaining.

I'm sure he'll file a protest about that and win.

if they're gonna leave out gibilisco they'd have to leave out hooker as well since he third-attempted 565 also.
