What a vault at 4.80. All the pressure on the other girls and the 19yo in the box seat.

<p>If you fail three in a row you're out, I believe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But you don't have to clear one height to move onto the next.</p> -
If all the others fail the next height she wins gold right?
-
<p>You get 3 consecutive misses. But at the end you are often forced to skip heights if your competitor passes first attempt. Hmmmm. She's going to have to go higher than 4.80 probably as 4 have passed. But she has the lead on 2 of the athletes who took 2 attempts.</p>
-
<p>She's saved energy by clearing first each time. But that Greek and the American look to me like they can go higher.</p>
-
<p>4.8 her PB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Come on Eliza</p> -
That was close. Damn
-
<p>Bugger! She can do this! Close at 4.85m</p>
-
<p>The aussie tries not jumping at all...</p>
-
This Swiss chick hasn't looked comfortable all night. Strange she passed on the precious height.
-
<p>The greek clears 4.85m :(</p>
<p> and the yank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And she's missed again :(</p> -
<p>Bugger.</p>

<p>And I'm sure for McCartney ...</p> -

<br>
Campbell girls are in ads here for Swisse. So is the high jump girl who missed the final, and a few others.<br>
<br>
Fucking Swisse. Don't go near that shit!</p></blockquote>The Warriors use it too don't they? -
<p>If the aussie misses at 4.85 again, mccartney has at least bronze. But i think she'd need to go directly to 4.90m, as passing at 4.85 would then become worthless.</p>
-
Great effort from McCartney. <br><br>
Still a real medal chance -
<p>Bronze!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is a fantastic effort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can't ask for more than that: 19, equals her PB.</p>
