It sure seems like those always break at the worst times :dazed:

All the feeds are what is on TV right now. I thought I would double-up but never mind. Back to the couch.

I'm watching via Universal Sports, their feed is actually working for me for once. I think it's the same as EuroSport, it's the British announcers.

I don't have television, so there's no temptation for me to leave bed!

Darn it darn it I jinxed it by talking about it, my feed froze right when they were about to announce the pole vaulters or whatever.

Reminder that the live X's and O's are here: http://www.iaaf.org/live/wch11/index.html

Looks like things are about to get underway!

Man, look at the height progression: 5.50 5.65 5.75 5.85 5.90 This should move quickly!


And Steve Lewis has started everything off with a clearance. Miss for Didenkow.

The two Frenchmen are the only athletes to pass a height.

A make for Kudlicka and a miss for Sawano.

5.75 with no misses could definitely medal. Only 3 of the athletes have jumped 5.85+ yet this season.
