Kennedymoon gold

Not this again...  Unpopular opinion apparently, but i hate, hate, HATE shared medals. Especially this way.

[Grassmarket 3,348]

Bah!   They should continue till their hands are bleeding & the trams stop running!

I don't think we are ever seeing a jump off in a major championship again (unless they change the rules).

Happy for Kennedy, but too bad nobody can call herself "the world champion" now

Obviously no jump-off in PV so two golds for Kennedy & Moon.

I honnestly like the possibility for ties in general (I really hate contrived tie breakers or races that are timed to a degree of precision that doesn't make sense), but the rule for how it can happen in the vertical jumps is a bit ridiculous.

They settled for shared gold so jump-off at lower height is voided.
