london

it is finally his time to deliver a world senior outdoor gold he certainly got the form and belief that the athlete lysenko neutral here robbie grabz equaled his season best at 231st ranking. ponderenko gold in moscow silva in beijing ghazal and rivera so we thought bashim was in good shape coming here that's ridiculous a jumping jack over six feet He is really in shape but for the talent he has surely he should have already become a world champion outdoor player, it is time to finally surrender the championship record that was set in Moscow, 220.

Come on, Matteus Chabilco did not qualify for Beijing o Rio much better this year, only seventh in Europe indoors, but here he goes taking into account that the best record of his life is uh 235. this season, yes, soft as you want from the German national champion, it is up and running, very good crowd again tonight for the climax of the 10 days, that barship scissor kick was ridiculous, speaking of which bashim was the only man to qualify at 231 without a single mistake on his card this should be a breeze for him favorite and the world leader oh my god he could have had a hippo between him and the bar and yet he's gone, he's in wonderful shape, Rob, as you say, tops the world rankings. 238 are the battles he has had before, right?

If you look at two, three years ago we were talking about that world record of how Javier Sotomayor 245, which was set in 1993, was challenged, he was in a group at the time, but for me this year. he's just a cut above everyone else, but of course Bondarenko can't be ruled out. Additionally, he is the fourth best jumper of all time. Brian Mcbride, this year's American champion, is pretty close to his lifetime best in the rankings. Here goes, hoping to join chabilco and bashim with an easy 220 clearance yes good job by the american we lost eric canard the start of the competition in qualifying the real shame for the american overall medalist clearly came with a problem of injury and well, I kind of ran the uh long the

high

jump map, so there's no eric canard, but we have brian mcbride in the final.

Hilary Vanyak, the European under 23 champion, missed out on medaling at the world juniors in 2012. So no failure yet from anyone in 220, yes, that could be a good standard. competition is the joint highest quality of any qualifying competition in the history of the world championship six men surpassed 231. calvin harris feels booming around the stadium with the public address system party atmosphere here tonight they want to round off an excellent championship in great style daniel lysenko 234 this year just turned 20, a russian junior olympic champion who competes as a neutral, therefore a sanctioned neutral athlete who will surely outrun one or two of the others, oh absolutely clear, the russians have produced some really cool high jumpers over the years, looks like another. so it looks like the 20 year old just skipped that from youngest to oldest in the competition.

Lysenko's honor of 20 iker is now 35. She reached the final 10 years ago in Osaka 234 is a lifetime best 2 30 this season and see if the German veteran can join everyone else with a good early clearance for the first time in 220. the bar lowers for the first time in the competition, as we saw in the women's high jump final, those early misses can prove very costly if you end up clearing the at the same height as an opponent, if they have a clearer card than you, you will be much lower in the standings at the end of the Bulgarian competition.

Tenth last year in Rio, not far from the European podium, or 231, the best record of his life this season. It was pretty lackluster so the last two jumpers will have to return and there will be plenty of excitement now in the stadium as the London Olympic bronze medalist prepares to jump for the first time, his pb Robbie Grabrs equaling his season best. In qualifying he is not in top condition by his own standards, but he is a master at doing well when it counts, when he last year's world indoor silver counts, will this be another world medal for Britain?

Yes, good start for robbie and his injury problems over the years he fought his demons, he got hit 225 oh my god he is surpassing these early heights for fun what seemed so easy ivanyuk well surely he can't make that This may seem as impressive as attacking, can it be well within your comfort zone? that was good, not so much as world leader, but a clean card once again, by the way, chabilco and mcbride failed in their first attempts lysenko, this 20 year old russian who competes as national champion neutral 2 34 this season for lysenko real star in the future the little wobble remains now robbie grabbers remember that these permissions for the first time in the lower heights are really important when it comes to the business end of these competitions listen to the reaction if he gets it yes, he is a showman, he is a character and he's clearly in the mood tonight oh how about a solid start from Gravas?

Now Ponderenko was the only man to jump 220, so this is his first jump. He has shaved his beard for this competition. Samson backwards. Well, let's look at the wild eyes. the Ukrainian world champion in silver from Moscow in Beijing oh no, that's a little tattered. I wonder if he regrets not having a beard. I wonder if he regrets not coming in and settling at 220, which could be important later in the meet. It was absolutely miles away. so ponderenko a little thought to make it here joint seventh last year in the olympic final a really important ambassador for his country very proud syrian here goes yes that's better, good job there from ghazal now, if you were watching the classification, maybe you remember this guy went completely crazy when he got an outdoor pb from a character, this mexican based in colony, can he come out clear 225 for the first time when asking?

Oh yeah, nice acrobatic somersaults as he hit the mat. Good job from the Mexican, now that we have seen it for the first time. bondarenko failure at 225 and there was also a really surprising matthias chabilco first time failure of the german 235 this season getting excited as national champion. He has had a great year and comes here with high hopes of giving Germany another medal. This is pretty important, yeah, that's better, that was class, a little bit of pressure, they just pressed him on chabilco and he responded very well by bending his back and his body around the bar, hit him now girlfriend, can he follow chabilco making peace with his second effort, American champion 229th in the standings? is on the beat this week needs to turn this on come on big man a little stutter while running but recovered well almost a sold out crowd tonight was a fabulous backdrop for these world class high jumpers and they are responding to the atmosphere that 50 Thousands of people are generating throughout the stadium, even there in the high jump.

Now the old man of the group needed three attempts to surpass 220 and failed on his first attempt at 225. He focused taking advantage of all those years of experience that he is almost having. Some trouble calming down tonight Onan will have to return for a third and final attempt as he did at 220. Well, an uncharacteristic early mistake from Bondarenko, the only man who decided to skip 220 Chabilco clearly the second time he asked, oh dear, Oh. Darling, that's a big problem for Bondarenko, the world champion in Moscow is in big trouble, here he needs a third try at 225.

It's been a messy night for the Germans so far. Can you leverage more than a decade of international experience? pressures on No, it is not for the 35-year-old German, so he comes out at 225. Even the offers of Wang retired from China did not start this final one by one, they are already falling by the wayside, so the disappointment for Onan would be a big shock. the champion of moscow is in big trouble here by god he really needed a great show of composure from the winner four years ago ponderenko living dangerously at his starting height a piece of cake at 220 at 225 chabilco was expected to be one of the greats of Barshim Rivals once again missed his first attempt at 2 29.

Everything is looking good for Bashim at the moment, can he keep it up? Oh my god, he's making that look ridiculously easy. The omens are good here. a junior world champion a junior Asian champion a world champion The indoor champion has never won outdoor gold, silver last year in Rio, bronze in London, tied with Robbie Gravas. Mcbride needed two at 225 and, by the way, Bondarenko checked at 229 even though he only passed at 225 the third time he asked the Ukrainian. to make up for those two failures, mcbride, first attempt at 229, the american champion, knows he needs more, rivera, first attempt at 2 29. bashim is the only clear man at the first moment of asking at 229, he really looks absolutely sensational , the man of the Mexicans of Qatar. in good shape, his brother won a world bronze in the long jump in the great Moscow family. jeans had an excellent performance in the colony-based rivera qualifier, not so still bashim is the only free man with 229. ponderenko by the way, as i said, he has passed 229 after needing a third attempt to surpass 225, Lysenko's national champion, second attempt at 229.

Yes, he is the second clear man after beating Bashim, the only one with a perfect card so far, a man from Qatar who looks good, takes ours in third place in the second attempt moment at 229. the massive crowd noise could really use this oh no, the best 2 31 of the season. You're going to have some anxious moments robbie grabas, the bronze medalist here five years ago, two field event finals will be held tonight here's ghazal's syrian flag bearer here in

london

five years ago second attempt 229 oh, that's an excellent clearance on his part, hence the reaction and that puts him in second place Chabilco, considering the season he's had, this would be a shock if he came out at 229 getting himself. ignition failed once at 225 this is, he has to clear this up to keep his aspirations alive oh my god, he had a little wobble but he keeps living a little dangerously there, the German champion was left out of the medals, but he is still in the competition Can US Champion Brandon McBride come out clear in his third effort?

We just saw Chabilco briefly get ahead by the American. on the way here in this competition Ivanya needs this. No Russian competes as a neutral. It also follows McBride with no medal for him tonight, considering we had six men over 231 in qualifying, it hasn't necessarily been the quality we were hoping for so far in this final. The London 2012 Olympic bronze medalist needs a lot of permission here to keep his dreams alive in front of his home crowd. No, it's too bad for Robbie Gravas. He looked like he was getting back into good shape. No medal for Great Britain tonight. time, so edgar rivero this is just an inch away from his better indoor life needs this, the mexican attacker, by the way, is the only man to have surpassed 229 the first time he asked rivera, yes, that's better, he's performing at the peak of his powers here edgar rivera chabilco he already failed on his first attempt at 2 32. oh my god he has wings on his heels tonight four jumps four effortless clearances he's alone right now can he stay there to win your first senior world outdoor title? lysenko a flop at 229. this to join bashim clear at 232 but he would still be behind the man from qatar with that one flop at 229. he's only 20. oh yeah great work from young man two men clear at 2 32 now it's been a fun night for the 2013 world champion withoutbeard in the classification.

Ponderenko skipped 220 and needed three attempts at 225. Skipped 229. I guess knowing those two early flops at 25 would be costly, and here he is attempting a punt for the first time at 232. hoping to join javier sotomayor as a two-timer world high jump champion, but had a huge scare in 225, is it normal for service to be resumed for the hugely talented Ukrainian? oh no it won't happen to him tonight while bashim so far hasn't put a foot wrong ghazal his first attempt at 232 he's in bronze medal position right now there's a long way to go although some of the greats names have come out one of the best jumpers in the world this year has had a failure in 2 32.

This would be a huge clearance for Gazal now, this would match his season best. Remember that the 30 year old player's pb is 236. He has been the flag bearer of his country for a long time, there will be many watching him at home in the near future. He went with that one, but it's on the third attack and Lysenko is the only man free at 232. Rivera looks for a first clearance at 232, which would be a great effort by the Mexican to stay in the hunt here when bigger names are have gone chabilco you can see cemenia being interviewed there they made him wait the german needed three attempts to go from 229 latasse joins bashim and lysenko with 232, he has 235 this season, he gets excited and encouraged for the job at hand.

He needs this. He is in fifth place overall, not even close, so a breakthrough season that has seen him reach new heights doesn't earn him an overall title. medal, he's fifth, unstoppable here tonight, what a champion again, bondarenko, everywhere here, oh my god, he thought for a minute he was going to stay, but it's been a strange night for the 2013 world champion, who he is in good shape considering his best is one of the best in the world now ghazal is closing in on a bronze medal for syria this would really help no so now it is up to the only man left to jump in 2 32 failing major gaza on the verge of bronze if rivera misses this, the syrian is in bronze medal position only attacking and lysenko has gone clear in 2 32. this by one pb remember for the mexican oh, it won't be a great result for him, it will end this competition in fourth place, so ghazal has won Syria's first high jump medal, it's a bronze and look at the reaction, he can barely believe it, what a moment it will be for him on the podium, incredible bars, he leads in this moment, he and lysenko have this high jump competition to themselves crushing the leaders. because Lysenko had a failure at 229.

First time clearances at 220 225 229 232 around him are falling by the wayside. He has looked absolutely electric so far, with miles of distance at every height, can he tighten the screw on what would be the first outdoor world gold? You just can't see him getting beaten tonight and yes, mute, you're really flying here in London, a silver lining for Lysenko. A failure at 29 years old could be costly. Bashim is on fire right now. No, it seems increasingly likely that this will be the case. gold to defeat him, but the 20-year-old Russian competing as a neutral is a good athlete and has two more chances to clear 235 Lysenko's second attempt at 235 20-year-old really needs this to have a chance against Bashim, one more try to follow. but two misses on Barshim's clean card oh yes oh oh my goodness, how close was that last chance or one attack will be the world champion.

Lysenko needs this to have any chance at gold, otherwise it's fabulous silver for him and he'll be that seemingly elusive. The point of mutas essa barshim is not that he is not. He has had a brilliant performance here, the young Russian and finally Varshin is a world outdoor champion, in addition to his world indoor title and his world junior title, and the way he has surpassed all the heights so far . The question is how high he can go tonight with all the competition in bed and a packed stadium to impress Barshim. He is already the world champion.

This for 240, last chance to thrill the crowd. miles away, we thought he was in spectacular form and the Olympic silver medalist is now the world champion alongside his world indoor audience in 2014 and his world junior title in 2010. He seemed unstoppable tonight, no one could be seen defeating him. To be honest, he completely controlled that men's high jump final. He came in just three centimeters ahead of the rest of the world in the world rankings, but how soft did he look in qualifying and then in the final trying to get back to the heights he was at? trying to top a couple of years ago a dominant display by bashim in the men's high jump final and already a bronze medal and now they have scored a goal in the men's high jump is the world champion lysenko, the young russian who competes As a neutral for Silva and Majid Khazal, the first man from Syria to win a medal at a world championship, I was absolutely delighted that you are the new one.
