Alright catching up on the video, Hooker had a huge vault at 5.80 and finally gets around the bar.

Both vaulters should make a few more bars

Whoa no kidding. He had even bigger height over it than Lukyanenko. His hips were a foot over! But too far in front of the bar

I agree. Why don't they seem to be able to adjust?

IAAF22:05
Pressure's on Hooker now.
22:04
Yurchenko has a clearance at 5.70m and fewer misses than everyone else at that height, so he's assured bronze at least. Lukyanenko clears 5.85m!
22:03
Yurchenko is unlikely to vault again after passing three heights. Lukyanenko and Hooker each have two misses now at 5.85m.
