It was nice to see a little pole vault on TV, but man I hate that head-on camera angle. Plus at this meet, not only was it head-on, but it seemed like they were filming from half a mile away.

Oh well, they showed 5 vaults which is about 4 more than we usually get.

Stacy, Stacy, given me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
Will you keep competing
As the others you're a-beating?
But you'll look sweet on your feet
On the Berlin podium - what a treat!

Berlin podium might be a stretch, but she has been performing well this year and has a great shot at making the team.

Berlin podium might be a stretch, but she has been performing well this year and has a great shot at making the team.

Unfortunately this is because the American women seem to get to 4.50-4.60 and stall out.

I just threw up in my throat, not a little but a LOT . . .
