[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Damian finally fails at 2.04... 2 more attempts, gotta get over it.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Third time looked like an easy clearance in contrast with the first two. Just needs to keep his form more consistent. It looks like he still has a few more centimeters to go.

Yeah, he cleared very easily on that last attempt. Definitely a lot of wiggle room there if he can replicate that form.

 

[Cloned]

I think this group might have hit a wall with 2.04

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

The other group is clearing 2.13 like it's nothing...

I know they split them up into stronger and weaker groups but still.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

2.04M looks tough for group B

 

[SensBrawler]

Warner clears!

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Warner over 2.04. Ashton up with his 3rd attempt next.

 

[Cloned]

Damian!

 

[Cloned]

Oooh the Algerian had so much height there just poor technique.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

The hell? I thought the French dude was done... and now he clears. Okay then.

 

[Cloned]

French guy clearing is not good for Damian. French guy in bronze medal position.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Ashton with a tiny touch on the bar and it falls. Seemed a little bit cruel considering what some guys have gotten away with.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Eaton out with a 2.01. Both Warner and Mayer over at 2.04.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

French guy clearing is not good for Damian. French guy in bronze medal position.

Good thing is I don't think he's anywhere as consistently strong in the remaining events as Damian. Not really a major threat if Damian performs.

 

[Cloned]

Since there is no wrestling thread here, I'll just post it here.

Yeats is coming up for bronze.

 

[Cloned]

Ukrainian guy nearly punched himself in the face.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Mayer now retired? It appears.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Algerian guy has a lot of height on his jumps.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Warner doesn't get over on his first attempt at 2.07... would be nice if he could pick up another handful of points. Needs them.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

One more go at it. Not looking very convincing so far at 2.07...

 

[Very Stable Genius]

He was basically at his limit. Par for the course.

 

[shortshorts]

Nice try Yeats

 

[Daisy Jane]

Warner needs to call in a substitute.
Drouin anyone?

 

[Cloned]

Yates will learn to be more aggressive the next time around hopefully.

 

[Cloned]

Warner needs to call in a substitute.
Drouin anyone?

Yeah, let's have another go at 2.40.
