Only two succeeded in the second attempt (Britton Contery and Switzerland’s Moser). Italian player Molinarolo 4.68m. He also made a last attempt at 4.73m, but he failed, which sealed the medal for Stefanidis.
And when the time came, 4.73 m. Golden Katerina did another amazing jump. She cleared the beam in her first attempt and took a clear lead for the gold medal.
