Lavillenie jumping at 6.02. His indoor PR is 6.03 and outdoor PR is 6.01. This is a French NR and Olympic Record if he clears.

No luck for Lavellenie on that first jump, but he has two more tries. Solid attempt.

Tilastopaja says 69kg which is about 152. Looks more accurate.

Lavillenie is a chalk guy.

First attempt at 6.07... decent! Not super close but not bad either.
