BEIJING, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Pole vaulter Roslinda Samsu missed the Olympic finals when she failed all three attempts to match her national record of 4.40m which was the cutoff mark for the 12 qualifiers today.
The 26-year-old cleared 4.30m, which she had consistently done this season but was off her national mark set two years ago in Spain.
She started her opening height of 4m and proceeded to 4.15m and 4.30m, all cleared in first tries.
Roslinda is one of only two field athletes for the athletics programme here.
With her ouster, only the men's high jumper Lee Hup Wei is left and his qualifying round is scheduled for tomorrow night.
