Abdalaati Iguider led the field home with all the qualifiers going below 3.35. Andy came home 8th in 3:36.03 although faster than the winner of the first heat it was not enough to make the final.

Holly elected to pass at 4.30m and entered the final at the second height of 4.45m, after two failures she made a clean clearance on her third attempt.

Making the Olympic final and finishing 6th was an achievement, Holly should take lots positives from a competition that was won in 4.75m a height that is well within her grasps. Results |
