Sounds like 19 finalists in the women's pole vault?

Oh man, that sucks  That overconfident rule of missing early marks strikes again.

To think she might have been in had she simply gone for 4.40m (and made it, of course).

Probably some tribal face paint. Looks like that.

Have no doubt this was done, because of the 2 French jumpers   In no way they'd let 19 finalists in other situation. 

 

Worked great for McTaggart, she was saying her goodbyes after the 3 X's. Doubt she would ever imagined making the finale with that score.

Paulino could run under 48 seconds I think if she wouldnt slow down in last 50m

Is Nicole Caicedo really going for 2 starts in 31 minutes ?

Paint. Mostly sort of spiritual, representing both 'balance' and her dual nationality of Belgian and Congolese. Also sort of a 'protest' to the black and white world we are often forced in by the outside. As in, people expect you're a man or a woman, black or white, straight or gay, 1 or 0, nothing in between or outside those limited values. (her words)

 

These spiritual things aren't really my 'thing', but I like that she goes for it. Just sad she is always either badly injured or just coming back from a bad injury
