How often do people time out?
One of the women timed out earlier. You think she would have just given it an attempt.
Sandi Morris has hit the last two bars but cleared both.
I can't believe how high that bar bounced too. Very lucky.
So they just said that Greece's Ekaterini Stefanidi went to Stanford. How smart must she have been to gotten into Stanford while being Greek, with English as a second langauge. Very impressive.

Great meet by her. She's only 19 and set a national record at 4.70 and gave a good attempt at 4.80.
Good last attempt after bailing out. 4.80...
Isn't 4.80 what top male decathletes could barely clear in the 70s?
US 1-2 in the women's vault. That's a great way to start out the Wchamps.
The only question is who gets gold - Suhr or Morris (Suhr is in the lead) - and does the WR fall?

No wejo. Dont' go there. She's too young for you. Less than half your age. Maybe for tonight but not long term.
Great competition, 4 over 4.80.
Isn't it over? Or could there be a tie?
It is, but they said the stream is behind.
So Suhr wins the competition without a miss and doesn't even attempt a WR?
You have a stadium full of people, an international tv audience and you call it a day?

Correct. Didn't you see her massaging her calf?
Athletics Weekly â€@AthleticsWeekly
"Jenn Suhr decided against a world record attempt at 5.04m as a precaution because of a tight calf #portland2016"
She's mid-30s. The last thing she should do is get hurt trying to get a WR - that would be the equivalent of a footballer blowing out his knee in a TD celebration.
Risk injury for a record? It's not worth it. Save it for another day, IMO. Maybe she was feeling tired.
I was disappointed she didn't go for the World Record.
She said this was a quick turnaround from USAs and her calf was tight.
The sport would be slightly better off if world records were set at a meet like this instead of a tiny meet with no one watching.
Do Pole Vaults usually last 3 hours? We're 2+ hours in and the men have a ways to go.
The atmosphere has left this place but we're at the 2 hour mark. Fans could have gone to a Timbers game and watched the whole thing and be leaving now.
Looks like some people may have even left. The arena wasn't completely full so I can't say for sure.
Injury threat may explain why she took so many passes at heights. She was superb on the ones she did though.
Kendricks looks like he could medal.
Lisek is previously banned doper
Lisek does get bronze
Its between Lavillenie and Kendricks for gold!
How much of a challenge can Kendricks give him?

Back when toby was coaching there. That's why he left stanford, to move to Greece with her after she graduated.
