OG MPV FInals - Lavillenie 5.97 OR, Otto, Holzdeppe 5.91

How boring would it be to be the camera guy who has to focus on the parents and coaches in the crowd?

Starodubtsev clears easily.

amost as bad as the security guard who has to have his back to the track for 6-8 hours. Hears lots of cheering, but can't turn around.

Lukyanenko clears with a big jump on his second attempt at 5.50.
Lewis makes with ease too.

Bychkov wants a clap. Steve Hooker looks chilly, he has his hood up on his jacket and his face buried.

Bychkov brushes off the bar on his way up. He was a surprise to make finals.

[rainbowgirl28]

Michalski has big height but sort of stalls out on top and comes down on the bar... but it stays!

[achtungpv]

I think his top hand was stuck to the pole.

[rainbowgirl28]

Third attempts now. Bychkov the only vaulter that needs it.

[rainbowgirl28]

Bychkov gets a clap... and he comes through with a clearance!

Hey I saw Pat Licari!

[rainbowgirl28]

Bar now going to 5.65.

[rainbowgirl28]

This next height will be a PR for Bychkov if he clears. I bet he's never successfully opened at 5.50 before!

Hooker up first at 5.65. Not a fan of the Aussie uniforms, I just don't think neon yellow and mustard yellow go together...

Is that a transit?

[rainbowgirl28]

Haha the official looked embarrassed to find the TV guy filming her.

Hooker bails on his first attempt at 5.65, his opening height.

[achtungpv]

That looked like he'd been sitting in the cold and wasn't warmed up.
