Gold Coast Comm Games

Damo

Eliza misses, but not by much. This could be a good finish.

Stargazer

Yes, Eliza gets over 4.70!

Mokey

New games record for McCartney!

Stargazer

Red flag for the Canadian, who's still at 4.65m.

No Quarter

pole vault is the crowing glory of the comm games....

Those girls are...fit...sheesh.

Damo

Both our pole vaulters are marketers dreams.

Stargazer

Eliza misses the 4.75m. Now Newman again, who succeeds! Personal best on her first attempt.

Stargazer

Eliza goes for the 4.80m. It's a fail. Still in silver position.

Damo

Why would Eliza go up a height? She was ahead on countback if she made 4.75.

Mokey

Yikes. All the momentum with the Canadian now.

Stargazer

Newman fails at 4.80m. Now Eliza again.

It would be a shame if Eliza lost here because I think she is the strongest. Newman so far has just pulled off the better jump when it matters.

Stargazer

So close, but another fail for McCartney. Two misses at 4.80m

I think she lost the countback actually. Canadian made 4.75 on her first attempt.

Commentators here said that as Newman made it on her first jump, if Eliza made it she'd still be behind as she failed her first attempt.

Stargazer

Pole vault: Newman wins Gold, McCartney Silver and the Aussie wins Bronze.

Mokey

Gah. Silver for McCartney.

Damo

Some poor commentating there. I didn't realise if Eliza missed there it was all over.

Don't think the commentators did either.

Stargazer

Tall Ferns trailing 34 - 70 in the 3rd.
