If anyone has access to the BBC videos, they posted video of Murer freaking out after she loses her pole: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympic ... 568332.stm

She is afraid Golubchikova will make 4.80 and bump her out of the medals.

GOLUBCHIKOVA still had an attempt and could have pushed her down to 4th.

BBC:

1411: The handsome Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia plops over 4.70m, her first attempt in the competition, and she could have cleared 50cm more. American Jenn Stuczynski has emerged as a rival this season, but she'll have to do more than hide Isinbayeva's pole to win this one, she'll have to chop off her arms and legs.

IAAF:
21:23
Stuczynski, assured of at least a silver, passes 4.85; Isinbayeva is up.
9:21
At 4.80m, only Stuczynski cleared. Isinbayeva passed. The bar goes to 4.85m. Feofanova will take bronze at 4.75m, over Golubchikova on misses, unless Isinbayeva misses at 4.85m.

I assume Isi will pass to 4.95 now (or maybe 5.00).
