[CLCPV04]

petrov looks sunburnt to a crisp!

and interestingly enough, Izzy is vaulting with earrings, a necklace and many rings on her fingers!

shes sitting under a white bedblanket at the stadium, like its a tent, completely covering her... kinda funny!

Isinbayeva is actually getting rhythmic clapping from the Chinese crowd. They may have just learned that today.
22:11
Second attempt for Isinbayeva.

[rainbowgirl28]

Much better attempt. Not terribly close but much closer than her first. Still not timing up with the pole quite right.

She's a little in front of the bar. Opinion on her chances is mixed.
22:14
Very close, but not quite enough. One more try.

[BruceFlorman]

Closer...

At least we know the Danes aren't completely clueless about what's going on though.

[CLCPV04]

Just looks like she needs a bit more.... somethign.

looks like she still missed the timing a bit, didnt quite line it up as well as she sould have. she hit it on the way down with her thighs.

she looks to be staying on the same pole for her third.

Back under the blanket-tent. very funny to see her completely covered!

[Pogo Stick]

To Canadians: CBC is finally showing pole vault

[rainbowgirl28]

That's got to be Isinbayeva's sister in the crowd.
