¶2012 OG: wHept—Jessica Ennis (GB) 6955 WL (5, x W)

[j-a-m]

Dobrynska makes 1.80 in 2nd

[Gabriella]

17 women clear at 1.80 so far!

[j-a-m]

Ennis makes 1.83 in 1st

[Gabriella]

and Schwarzkopf, to equal her PB, after her 100mh PB.

And now Fountain

[Gabriella]

Great start for Tymińska with that 13.22, the second fastest run of her career. Perhaps she's in better form than I expected.

1.68 in the HJ, so not that good.

[guru]

Ennis makes 1.83 in 1st

The video feed isnt including field events, but it's easy to tell when Ennis clears! lol

[Gabriella]

Savitskaya better as the bar goes higher, 1st time clearance at 1.83. But that's her 7th jump now, so that may affect her.

[DecFan]

Savitskaya over 1.83 (projected at 1.86); Dobrynska and Chernova miss their first attempts at 1.83 (the projected heights for each).

[j-a-m]

Dobrynska gets the projected 1.83

[Powell]

Great start for Tymińska with that 13.22, the second fastest run of her career. Perhaps she's in better form than I expected.

1.68 in the HJ, so not that good.

I know And she's done 1.72 this season, so should have cleared at least one more height (and two more didn't seem that much of a stretch).

[j-a-m]

Chernova three misses at 1.83

[Powell]

Great jumping by Dafne Schippers, she's already cleared 1.80.

[j-a-m]

17 women clear at 1.80 so far!

And 11 over 1.83 so far

[Gabriella]

Such a shame Schippers hit that hurdle, she was up with Yosypenko and was on for a 13.2

11 women over 1.83 so far is a great standard. This next height will sort the women from the girls.

Chernova going out at 1.83 means she's down on both of her Daegu events. She will need to really lift her game if she wants any chance of challenging for gold.

[Gabriella]

Make that 12 over 1.83; Yosypenko in Group B, performing very well in the first two events

[j-a-m]

Fountain clears 1.86 in 1st; no miss so far

[j-a-m]

Ennis misses 2nd attempt at 1.86

[Gabriella]

Ennis and Dobrynska appeared to be very close at 1.86.

Jess really needs this height or she looses that great advantage over Chernova!

[j-a-m]

Ennis makes 1.86, following her teammate KJT

[Gabriella]

YES! She's going to need that aggression if she wants to clear 1.89. She really needs at least 1.89 to go for that 7000 barrier

[jeremyp]

YES! She's going to need that aggression if she wants to clear 1.89. She really needs at least 1.89 to go for that 7000 barrier

Weather permitting.

[j-a-m]

Savitskaya and Dobrynska with three misses at 1.86

[j-a-m]

Ennis two misses at 1.89; second one was really close, fans were already celebrating.

[j-a-m]

KJT 1.89 PB

[Gabriella]

And final scores with these projections: 3 exceptionally close battles:
Ennis 6930
Chernova 6907
Fountain 6666
Dobrynska 6664
Zelinka 6550
Savitskaya 6525

And here are the projections:
Fountain 12.90 1.87 13.50 23.70 6.70 44.00 2:16.5
Ennis 12.83 1.91 14.40 23.00 6.40 46.50 2:08
Chernova 13.34 1.83 14.00 23.55 6.70 53.00 2:07
Dobrynska 13.50 1.83 16.00 24.70 6.45 48.00 2:11.5
Savitskaya 13.55 1.86 14.75 24.80 6.55 45.00 2:15
Zelinka 12.80 1.76 14.80 23.55 6.05 43.60 2:08

Decfan, I wonder if you can add Schwarzkopf to your projections?

13.26 and 1.83, I'm projecting the following scores for her, based on her SBs and current form: 14.5, 24.8, 6.27, 53.1 and 2:11 which takes her to over 6600

[j-a-m]

Ennis three misses at 1.89

[Powell]

Skujyte 1.92

[j-a-m]

Fountain out with three misses at 1.89

[Gabriella]

Skujyte 1.92

But interestingly, on projected scores, it doesnt really take her much higher

[lapsus]

Skujyte 192

Who was the idiot saying Ennis was fat? I was almost shocked just how lean & mean she looked before the hurdles heat...

[Pito]

Great start for Tymińska with that 13.22, the second fastest run of her career. Perhaps she's in better form than I expected.

1.68 in the HJ, so not that good.

I know And she's done 1.72 this season, so should have cleared at least one more height (and two more didn't seem that much of a stretch).

Her last jumps were in very bad weather conditions, and for sure rain didn't help her.

Nobody actually said it. Was a typically stupid media story taken out of context and blown out of proportion.
