Italian that won gold in high jump last olympics almost eliminated at his first height. Clears it on his 3rd attempt.

T&F overall has been extremely impressive. Not a ton of major blowout wins. Every race has been FAST. WRs and ORs dropping like flies.

This might be the most exciting Olympic we've witnessed without Bolt crushing the sprints.
