Isinbayeva is over on her first attempt. Now it's on Stuczynski at 4.90m. She's cleared higher twice already this year.

I wish they would go back to track! Instead of so much equestrian... pole vault is way more exciting! especially now!

They went back to track and away with the horses...

The fun continues
Stuczynski misses at 4.90m -- and just barely. Isinbayeva passes.

Women's pole vault update
We've got a little gamesmanship going on in the pole vault. After Jenn Stuczynski of the U.S. cleared 4.80m, Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva passed at the height. When Isinbayeva cleared 4.85m in the next round, Stuczynski passed on the height. The cold war is back!

Apparently a second miss for Stuczynski at 4.90m. One more attempt. She's discussing it with the officials and her clock has been re-set.
