¶2015 WC mPV: Shawn Barber (Can) 19-4¼ (5.90)

[Alan Shank]

Looks like Holzdeppe took 3 tries at 5.70, his opening height, whereas Lavillenie cleared first time. 16 in the final, all clearing the auto mark of 5.70. Two NRs, Croatia and Slovenia. Gripich, Paedh, Da Silva and Walker not in final, cleared 5.65. Some times they don't even need to vault at the Q height.
Cheers,

Assuming a good evening, does Lavillenie go 6.10 or higher? 6.0 for anyone else?

I'm waiting to see what the runway looks like. If he's got room for enough steps, he could go pretty high.

I like Barber for silver, gold if Lavillenie has a bad meet.

1. Renaud Lavillenie (France)
2. Konstadínos Filippídis (Greece)
3. Raphael Holzdeppe (Germany)
4. Shawn Barber (Canada)

I'd switch 2 and 4, tho RH could easily go Silver or 8th.

hard to believe, but he's never won this one.
