Oh! Big jump for Grande but he brushed it off on the way down :( I see Earl Bell in the stands (coach of Derek and Grande), glad he made the trip out.

Filippidis sneaks over the bar! Brushes it on the way up but it stays.

That moves him into 4th. He'll need to make 5.85 to medal, and it's going to take a better jump than that to make 85.

Borges looks like he is starting well behind the end of the runway (but it's all rubber, doesn't matter). He goes wide right and looks like the pole is small, a miss.

Are both of those coaches with the Cubans?

da Silva aborts his run and goes back to try again with about 35 second left on the clock.

da Silva comes up short and front buns it. I don't think he broke the plane, but his clock ran out.
