I hope that is the word we’ll continue to use to describe it, she looks like she is in a different competition to the others.

Stargazer

Come on Tamberi! Do it!

Stargazer

Nope, Tamberi and Barshim share the gold medal.

They share the gold. Awesome scenes.

Belorussia bronze.

What is this shit? Why dont we go to 2.38 and see if they can make that?

antipodean

Pleased I watch tonight's events. Great pity they couldn't do this in a full stadium.

They could’ve had a jump off but they chose to share the gold. Brilliant.

I am.

I didn’t even know it was on. But now I have to stick around.

Then bed.
