Sorry but the Mens Pole Vault has turned into a farce.
Only top 12 are meant to go through to final yet the Vaulters have all got together and decided they want 17 to get through. So at the moment we have a standoff with no one jumping. Steve Hooker seems to be the ring leader

Hope the officials stand firm and make them jump and qualify into a final 12.

A Cuban vaulter's pole snapped spectacularly before the standoff.
Luckily wasn't injured, but was probably struggling for confidence afterwards!

Can someone please ask Steve Hooker who he is awarding the medals to in the final. I’d like to have a bet.

Steve Hooker failed to clear any height :oops:
No wonder he was pushing so hard for extra people in the final

It's bullshit, according to slow motion replay they are all running FFS, but the rule is the judges naked eye must pick it up.

What a load of carp

WTF? One of the walkers just pulled a big sponge out of his shorts and tossed it on the ground?

Jared Tallent is 2nd by 26 secs at the 45km mark ... on 2 strikes so can he makeup the difference without being caught running.

FFS, they ALL run!
