I think there will be plenty more clearances :)

Spiegelburg makes on her second!

The pressure is now on Gao Shuying, I am sure she feels strongly affected by the withdrawal of Liu in the hurdles.

A third attempt make for Gao Shuying! I am sure she feels hugely relieved.

The bar will now go to 4.55 and Stuczynski will enter the competition. Less than a half hour to get ten ladies through two heights!

It appeared there was some controversy with the officials vs. Murer & Spiegelburg. Not sure what it was about, but Murer was quite deliberately standing on the runway, preventing Gao from going.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys that it will not be shown on any US stations until tonight. There are no plans to show any track footage live on TV or online within the US.
