Agonising.
Holly Bradshaw does the exact same as Sidorova.
She shakes her head in the air before falling to the mat, never had enough to make it over

The Russian Olympic Committee's Anzhelika Sidorova doesn't even try to get over the bar at 4.90m.
She hopped up and pulled out of the jump early. That could be huge for Holly Bradshaw, who is up next.

Men's gold medal match
Drama aplenty as well in the penalty shoot-out for hockey gold and it is Belgium who are the Olympic champions thanks to goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch's heroics.
It finished 1-1 in the match but Vanasch saved twice as Belgium won 3-2 in the shootout to help seal his country's first gold medal in the sport.

Reigning champion Katerina Stefanidi pauses before beginning her run-up and... failing 4.90m.
The Greek remains in fourth and will only have one more attempt to stay in the competition. If she goes out, Holly Bradshaw is guaranteed at least bronze.

Stefanidi has decided to pass on 4.85m and will save her efforts for 4.90m instead.
This would equal the British record if Holly Bradshaw can make this.

Everyone is fully warmed up now it seems.
American Katie Nageotte also clears 4.85m at her first attempt too. Defending champion Katerina Stefanidi is yet to make it over. If she fails twice more, Bradshaw has got herself a medal.

Total legend. She's cleared that on her first attempt. She's got to be on for a medal now.

The Russian Olympic Committee's Anzhelika Sidorova looks on for gold surely. She is yet to miss a jump and sails over 4.85m.
Here we go Holly...

Greece's Katerina Stefanidi doesn't make it over 4.85m at her first attempt. The last clearance of 4.80m was her season's best.

YES.
It was all a bit scary as Holly Bradshaw just grazed the bar with her chest but she's made it!
The Brit goes back into the bronze-medal position but it's not over yet. On to 4.85m.

Nope. Bradshaw goes askew, sliding right in the sky to kick the bar off. She still has two attempts at 4.80m though.

Defending champion Katerina Stefanidi is first to step up at 4.80m.
It feels like a straight shootout now, but it's really not been the Greek's day. She brushes the bar off with her legs.
The Russian Olympic Committee's Anzhelika Sidorova remains at the top of the leaderboard as she goes clear. Sidorova hasn't missed a jump yet.
