Group A in the men's pole vault has raised their bar to 5.65m. Group B just followed suit.

22:40
We count fourteen men over 5.55m in the pole vault, and several still attempting. Fifteen: Derek Miles just cleared.

Bar going up to 5.65. This height will most likely make finals.

17 vaulters remain, it needs to be knocked down to 12.

[SKOT]

NBC shows 17 over 5.55m with two to still come in. GL to all!

Edit: You beat me to it, you bum!

Hooker sporting a boogie nights style 70s hair band and is warming up.

Starodubtsev looks like he's 14 and weighs a buck 20 dripping wet. doesn't get his plant up and bails.

Starodubtsev kicks it off with a miss.

Miles misses too

[KirkB]

Becca - almost the inverse. 13 out.

[rainbowgirl28]

Latvala (who passed the previous height) misses.

[rainbowgirl28]

I forgot about passes... 25 vaulters remain!

I think 5.65 on a first attempt should make it to finals. Lots of vaulting.

Andreev and Holzdeppe miss
