Vlasic and Friedrich both cleared 2.03, on to the next height.

Come on Vlasic...

Great duel. Wait til the german has her home crowd!

I am of the opinion that maybe Vlasic jumps too much...but she's still hella consistent with doing so...

[IFK_Vaxjo]

Vlasic claps the crowd for Freidrich and she hushes them down and the speaker gets the whole stadium to be absolutely quiet! She just gotta be different And I like it!

Did you see Vlasic striking a pose after clearing? Funny girl.

Looking at the overall level of yesterday's competition, it doesn't look like the high jumpers had optimal conditions. Makes the 2.03's look all the more impressive in comparison.
