Anyone here like volleyball? 

Sometimes, but in terms of results I'd certainly say let's keep that to the volleyball thread and leave non-athletics results out of the athletics thread

Neugebauer drops the bar with his pole, despite easily clearing it  

[Topicmaster1010 5,330]

 Strasky clears the opening 4.70m height on his last attempt

 

 Kopecky not so lucky. He fails to record a height.

By the way, Kate O'Connor really did something amazing yesterday: she scored 6714 points, which was not just a 227 point PB, but arguably more impressively, it was 35 points more than the combined score of all of her (pre-Tokyo) single event PB's

 

In the decathlon nobody is staying anywhere near that feat, only Ferranti might, if he has an amazing finish, stay within 100 points or so. Sandrina Sprengel was the only one in the heptathlon who stayed within 100 points (barely), nobody got anywhere near it, just to reiterate how incredible O'Connor's tournament has been.

Kaul doesn't get over 4.80m and that's probably that for his chance for bronze.

Garland finally with XXX and with that, finally time for me to get a little bit of sleep

Not yet, Owens-Delerme is of course still in it. If he makes 5.00m, he would be a very big threat for gold.

 

And he makes it!  

 

The fight for gold is on for real now!
