4.80m is pretty solid but can't help wondering if she's peaked already. Another silver, always the bridesmaid.

Well done Eliza! Great effort against the Olympic champ, that's class. Proud kiwi moment 🇳🇿

ffs can we get one gold just once? Sick of moral victories. Kennedy's good but McCartney had the height earlier in the season.

Nina Kennedy is a machine. Eliza held her own though, 4.80 ain't nothing. Good prep for the next big one.

silver is a participation trophy these days apparently. back in my day you won or you didn't.

Anyone know if this is on replay? Would love to watch the vaults. She's looking sharp.

Tom Harris2026-07-15T20:36:00.000Z

Jamie Fox2026-07-15T20:41:00.000Z
