The black American guy with a Polish name pulls up injured.

 

 

I did think that was very odd.  

 

Usually they have Scottish names....ahem!

Poor judging there, should have waited until the bar fell off

I wish the IAAF would have a separate feed for Pole Vault and other field events. These 200m heats are great, but I’d much rather watch some good field finals.

Miguel Francis still the   National record holder

Used to be that you got a good jump if you cleared the mat before the bar fell!  People would sprint off the mat! You were also allowed to put the bar back on with your hand as you jumped over, a very extreme skill, but some could do it.

NR in Pole Vault also for Peinaldo made the 4.70 in 1st attempt

Francis’s chain cost him 0.001

So the 200m semifinals aren’t until Wed. . The scheduling at these championships sucks!
