Even if you don't have it yet, I'd rocommend coughing up the $5 to watch the webcast at http://www.wcsn.com for the women's final.

coverage today is much better. Not showing every vault, but they are showing quite a bit more than anything we normally get.

So far only 4 guys left after 5.65m moving up to 5.75m.

Walker
Gerasimov
Blom
Pavlov

The conditions are crap. Rain and swirling winds. No one is looking especially good so far.
