Second miss for Hooker. Both vaulters appear exhausted; a jump-off will be rough.

Lukyanenko has a second miss now. Hooker on his second attempt next. They will have to jump off if neither clears.


that sounds like its saying that Yurchenko is done
pain is only temporary victory is forever

lol parnov jumped the fence to go hug him on the track.

Hooker's vault was a nice one, he had a little bit of room

Now we'll see what Yurchenko does. Technically he's still alive, but he hasn't vaulted since 5.70m.

Hooker has changed pole before third attempt.
He is going on 6.01 now.

It looked like Hooker's coach ran out on the infield to congratulate him. No idea how that was looked on by the authorities.

The next height will be 5.96m. The OR is 5.95m, so Hooker's looking to try that. We're not sure why they've set the height there with Yurchenko technically still alive.

Hooker is taking up his pole once again. The OR is from 2004. To nobody's surprise, Yurchenko is passing this height.
