By the way... Bubba canned an eagle from the fairway about 10 minutes ago. When he hit, you could hear a fan (the fan?) yell 'get in the hole' and the ball promptly did as it was told. I LOVE those balls (but they are very hard to find).

great we have assignments!

Heptathlon is so weird. First there is 100m hurdles which takes about 5 minutes. Now there is the high jump which takes hours!

Goddamn it, get in the hole guy made it to Rio? As long as we can avoid a Baba-booey or a mashed potatoes we should be good.

1.83m looks like the main obstacle. Belgium, GB and Cuba have cleared it.
Canada and many others failed 1st attempt

There are about 15 girls left.

Canada clears it 3rd try!

There are 9 girls left (I think, 8 girls cleared, 1 girl skipped), all contenders still there.

If you don't clear are you out completely? Or just don't collect any points (which I guess eliminates you from medal contention)?

you get points for the last height you cleared.

1.83m = 1016 points.

Each height has points assigned. You get the points for what you cleared. Once you fail to make a height you cant move to the next height.
