London GP--Men's thread...

[gfilosa]

Walker, Hooker, and Lukyanenko in at 5.97

Lukyanenko just cleared 5.97 on the 2nd try.

[VTechVaulter]

and now hooker over 97

[BruceFlorman]

Walker's out, but Hooker goes on with "Luky" to 6.02!

[VTechVaulter]

im impressed that they are showing a bunch of vaults between other event

2 misses at 6.02 for hooker, 1 for lukyanenko

[BruceFlorman]

We saw Hooker's 2nd miss at 6.02, and they said Lukyanenko had already missed once. I wish we'd see more of the jumps and less of the runners standing around.

Edit: I guess we know which of us is the "glass half empty" type.

[VTechVaulter]

lol. perspective is a funny thing

[Jnathletics]

6.02 (19'-9)
Hooker 2 misses
Luky 1 miss

only ones left.

By crowd noise I think Hooker missed his 3rd attempt

[BruceFlorman]

Yeah, I caught the crowd noise thing too.

Still... a nice tune-up before Beijing for all these guys.

[VTechVaulter]

3rd misses for hooker and the russian

Surprised that Walker passed so far. Hope he's not nursing some minor injury.
