VLASIC over 1.98 on 2nd attempt

nice first clearance at 2.01

Wow!!!! first clearance on 2.05 barely grazed the bar.

[Powell]

And over 2.01 1st time :!:

[LopenUupunut]

Great, she will be attempting a record I assume. Now that I have lost my streaming internet connection. :x Please post what she does. Thanks

First attempt at 2.10 (WR) not great.

There's a Doha stream here and it's working perfectly for me.

Thanks but my work blocks videos during work hours. I could watch from 12 to 1 during lunch and then that is it.

Second attempt a little better, but still not really close.

[mump boy]

nevs you've been keeping this one secret it about 10000000000000000000 times better than the feed i've been watching :-)

[tandfman]

Third attempt worst of the three.

But, hey, the season is still young and 2.05 is pretty good for a season opener.

[jeremyp]

No surprise in her not making 2.10. But it would have been a perfect place to set a WOMAN'S WR!

It was, and her approach was much improved from last season, looked like it was in 2007. But, I hope she's not going to attempt 2.10m every single time again. Nothing wrong in going for 2.08m first...
