Kynard WAY over at 2.32m. Heating up!

Kynard WAY over at 2.32m. Heating up!

Now he needs a better clearance than either ukhov or druin at 2.35 to get in medal position.

Drouin's form is really on today. I picked him right behind Bondarenko.

[LopenUupunut]

Re: 2013 WC—mHJ: Bondarenko favored

Drouin over 235! No misses yet.

Re: 2013 WC—mHJ: Bondarenko favored

Drouin first at 2.35, scrapes with his back, but it stays on after he squats in the pit for a few seconds.

Just for fun, texted the guy who holds the record for highest jump ever for eight to let him know his record was in jeopardy. Fortunately he remains on the books for another day.
