[GT] Day 12 - August 7

[You Need a Thneed]

5 women left in contention for the medals in pole vault. Newman needs to make a another height to get more than Bronze.

Not sure what is delaying the pole vault but sucks for the athletes.

[You Need a Thneed]

Newman misses her first attempt at 4.85, but she's certainly capable of making that.

Love watching the elites play table tennis, it's so insane. Japan vs Sweden in the semis right now.

Austrailian makes it over, Newman must clear 4.85 to stay in contention for a medal.

[You Need a Thneed]

Newman makes 4.85!

[You Need a Thneed]

If Moser can't make her 3rd jump, Newman will win a medal.

Czech athlete doesn't look like she can get over this height.

[Arsenal14]

I think Moser dropped out. The results page shows xx- for her and they moved on to the Czech athlete. https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/r...t/fnl-000100--

[Arsenal14]

Yep. At least a medal for Newman. Currently bronze so she'll need to clear 4.90 to move up.

I think she passed, still in, but will have to jump the 4.90 to get a medal.

Makes sense. If she was going to be fourth if she cleared 4.85 there's no reason to try it again. Thanks, I'm watching the feed without commentary so I'm just guessing from the standings board

[CofR]

Guaranteed medal!

[You Need a Thneed]

Now a guaranteed medal! 3 women jumped 4.85.

[You Need a Thneed]

so close for newman at 4.90

[You Need a Thneed]

American passing at 4.90, because it makes no sense for her to try, she stays in silver whether she makes 4.90 or not.

EDIT: she's assuming Newman won't make 4.90.

[octothorp]

Is the tie-break total number of attempts through the competition, or total number of attempts on previous height?

[ajr4013]

Lol wow the vault line is apparently broken.

through the competition

[GirlySports]

actually I'm wrong, at the previous height first, then if tied, through the competition

We’re so lucky to have Mark Lee calling these events
