Yes Kurtis!!!!!!!! 5.95 on 2nd attempt. Easy clearance =PB for the 3rd time.

 

[myblueroan]

5:95 for Kurtis. All 1st attempts

Can he crack 6 ?

 

[Drummond]

Kurtis brilliant!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

5:95 for Kurtis. All 1st attempts

Can he crack 6 ?

We didn't see it but he missed his first attempt at 5.95. He is in 2nd place but will get a rest as several who missed at 5.90 have gone to 6.00.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Shit Karalis has missed 2 attempts at 5.95. he has been chasing Mondo all season and has cleared 6.00m+ several times this year.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Karalis cclears 5.95m on his 3rd jump.

4 have cleared 5.95 and 3 haven't and have gone to 6.00.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Awesome move from Hocker in the straight.

Didn’t panic.

Edit: maybe not, just saw that elbow before he went through.

 

[Drummond]

Hocker shows more physicality than the Crows. Lots of nudging.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Karalis easily clears 6.00m and now in the lead after a scare at 5.95.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Mondo easy over 6.00 and back into 1st place.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Bad luck Kurtis. Over but clipped it with his arm.

 

[myblueroan]

Between the ears Kurtis.

Camon.

9 go to a commercial break and SBS go to the track for the 3000m steeplechase final.

 

[myblueroan]

Might be just me but Nina Kennedy's commentary is not something I'm enjoying.
The voice more than the words.
Just let DC stay on the mic.
Anyway. Sbs has caught up again.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Collet out so down to 6 in the pole vault.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Strange not to have 3 strong Kenyans and team running in a global steeplechase final.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Great run by kiwi Beamish to beat El Bakkali.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

This happened to Beamish in the semi final.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

El Bakkali has held off the Kenyans and won the last 2 world champs and last 2 Olympics.

Great last 250m from Geordie Beamish.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Marschall guaranteed bronze with 1 more attempt to pass 6.00.

 

[Drummond]

Kurtis soooo close!!

But Bronze you beauty!

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Man this coverage is dogshit.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

**** I though Kurtis had cleared that. Bronze is as good as it gets with Mondo and Karalis regularly clearing 6.00m+

 

[Drummond]

Beamish won, what the heck. El Bakkali took that final 80m WAY too easy, thought he was home.

 

[Drummond]

So happy for Kambundji! Always around the mark but what a run by her in the final.

The emotion!
