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

[rainbowgirl28]

Holzdeppe clears 5.85 on his third attempt! That moves him into third place and bumps Starodubtsev out of the medals. The bar wiggles but stays.

It's Wurstfest up in here.

Lewis takes a good shot at 5.85 but goes out. 5th at the Olympics, went out at a PR, not bad!

Starodubstev is the final vaulter left at 5.85. A miss puts him 4th.
Clock winding down. He looks nervous.
A miss! Russia will get shut out of the medals! The medals will go to two Germans and the French Lavillenie!

3rd attempt blow-thrus for Lewis and Starodubtsev

Becca do you have an axe to grind with the Russians?

[rainbowgirl28]

The only medal Russia will get is Isi's bronze.

Bar going to 5.91 now, Holzdeppe up first.

Becca do you have an axe to grind with the Russians?

Not a huge fan of Lukyanenko, I don't like drunk drivers. Not a huge fan of Starodubstev (or his coach anyway), I don't like people who submit results from bogus meets.

I'm still bummed about Walker!! I had him, Renaud and Otto as my medals.

Gotta LOVE Becca!! GREAT Russian commentary and rationale! I'm with you Sista!

Oh hey that last height, 5.85 was a PR for Holzdeppe!
