Gold Coast Comm Games

Rancid Schnitzel

These pole vaulters are spectacular! The skill, yes skill on display. So much skill.

Except for the Brit who looks like an East German athelete from the 70s.

Bones

@stargazer Yeah, big jump from her previous best there by the Jamaican to get a national record...

Eliza smokes the second vault.

Bones

Robertson takes the lead in the 10k...

Stargazer

Val Adams wins Silver. Last attempt 18:55. Jamaican wins Gold, Canadian Bronze.

Crucial

Watch can't we just watch the pole vaulters wandering around, stretching, towelling off....

Mokey

Jamaican wins shotput easily. Eliza looking good in the pole vault. Tall Ferns getting their asses kicked.

Mokey

Robertson in the leading bunch in the 10,000m.

Bones

Bugger doesn't look like Robertson can stick with it now...

Bones

Jebus, the Ugandan looks like he's just taking a mosey down the shops, wins it. Robertson misses out on a medal.

Mokey

Down to 2 in the pole vault. Aussie wins bronze.

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.
