Heh I blame my slower than slow internet connection. Goddamnyou shitty talktalk

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

plenty of time to go, the top 8 get additional jumps

oh right, I take back my last remark

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Achike of britain in 6th

 

[ScallyWag II]

Looks like Larry Achike might make the final three jumps too, 6th place at the moment

 

[TrippyLondoner]

You guys are just too slow.

 

[marty21]

that was a big one - evora, 17.67

 

[TrippyLondoner]

portugese guy gets 17.67!

 

[Melinda]

I think Evora might have the lead-

17.67

 

[ScallyWag II]

Massive hop and a skip by Evora, 17.67, Phillips back into 2nd.

Come on Phillips!

Idowu is going to have to match or go above his PB in order to take the lead, however can't think of a better place to do that than the Olympics.

Good contest though - that Porteguese bloke is quite something

 

[chintz]

[TrippyLondoner]

phillips gets a red flag this time

 

[ScallyWag II]

Two jumps to go

COME ON PHILLIPS!

*takes bow*

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Portugese guy does a poor jump

 

[ScallyWag II]

They change the jumping order after this round, so the leader gets to jump last. Phillips needs a big jump this time then.

 

[chintz]

Come on Phillips

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Poor jump by phillips, arrggh

 

[Flashman]

Gonna have to pull one out of the bag on his final jump.

Tense.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

aaargggh

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Achike fouls His last ever olympic jump that.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Just seen about 3 poor jumps in a row
