Wind was +0.6 for the W100, so you can tell it has swirled around a bit (now that they turned the pits around, a tailwind for the sprints = a headwind for the jumpers.

It's definitely a better wind situation than before though.

Hartwig's steps are way off and he gets stood up. (remember he had not yet run down the runway since they switched the pit)

Buller has a super close attempt and just barely brushes it off on the way down.

Gibilisco has his uniquely colored pole. I wish I could get down on the infield and look at it. It looks like it is either painted, or has a strip of tape running vertically up it.

He runs through.

Cantwell throws 71 something in the shot for the 3rd best throw in the world this year.

Lanaro has a solid jump but misses.

Walker has plenty of height but comes down on the bar and misses.

The wind seems to be a pretty good headwind at the moment. The long jump is running the opposite way and the last two jumps read +2.2 and +1.9.

Sawano misses.

Yes, I am getting pictures. Not sure how well Gibilisco's unique pole will show up, but I will take the best one and try to blow it up.

Hartwig stops his vault but scratches.

Buller clears! I only saw him over the top because the crowd was standing for a race. He didn't have a ton of height on it, but it was clean.
