    <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>

    This Swiss chick hasn't looked comfortable all night. Strange she passed on the precious height.

    <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>
