    what on earth just happened in the pole vault? looked like perfectly good vault to me. :confused:
    The bar moved off the support and landed on part of the mechinism holding the support in place, so it counts as a failure. Luckily it did not affect the result.

    Gold for the men, but do we have to worry about a DQ?

    Ouch DQ for the men? Seems harsh - these indoor tracks are really tough for the 400 runners.

    Harsh on the guys, can they appeal?

    The counter appeal should hopefully give us back the gold.

    Have been DQ'ed but am sure they'll appeal. The Russian who was DQ'ed in the 400m individual later got reinstated for similar.

    Watching the replay, that's an unbelievable DQ decision, the Pole clearly forces him off the track. Has to be reinstated.

    Buck had absolutely no where to go!! Counter protest/appeal/whatever it's called needs to be made!

    The 4 girls did really well - been a brilliant day for Perri Shakes!

    The Pole cut straight accross him. GB must put in a counter appeal.

    Stupid system where something as obvious as that can result in a DQ even for a few minutes. It must have really spoilt the moment a bit for the GB guys. Still justice done in the end.

    Pretty decent championships from a GB perspective, a few disappointments, but some good young talent coming through. On the whole our squad is looking stronger this year than last.

    Yeah, it was crazy they were ever DQ'ed there...all they had to do was glance at the footage once!
