Shelekh is apparently injured and not moving, laying near the box.
EDIT: they just showed her being carried off on a stretcher.

Looks like Ukraine's Hanna Shelekh, the No.2 junior pole vaulter of all-time, has broken her arm in the pole vault.

Shelekh out. Bad miss: No penetration and let go of the pole. Landed in the box. Hopefully, it's not as bad as it looked, but I doubt it.

Damn, damn, damn......
Never let go.......

Saxer and Gadschiew fail to clear 4.45m, everyone else over (Isi passing).

[rainbowgirl28]

Schwartz and Savchenko go out, bar goes up to 4.65!

[rainbowgirl28]

Boslak is on fire! Makes 4.65 on first attempt for a French NR. No misses yet! She took several years off, good to see her back.
