Isinbayeva at ease

Yelena Isinbayeva said yesterday that an early June start to her outdoor campaign is about a month too early. By her own standards, that assessment showed in her performance today, but she nonetheless easily managed a 4.83m clearance to take the victory, debut as the world season leader, and kick off her Jackpot quest. After sailing clear at her opening 4.68m and 4.83m on her first attempts, 4.93m proved to be well out of reach.

Vaulting Poles Monika Pyrek and Anna Rogowska were second and third, clearing season’s bests of 4.78 and 4.68 respectively. Fabiana Murer (4.68m) of Brazil, whom Isinbayeva supplanted as world leader, was fourth on the countback.

A wee bit disappointed by her performance. Her take-off seemed even flatter than usual, and the result was lack of penetration (her standards seemed to be at about 60 from the video). Not a very active take-off.....

Like the blue color of her poles...

Pyrek seemed very happy from her result.

I DVR'd the replay of the meet from Universal Sports and watched it tonight. Lots of vaults shown! Pyrek and Rogowska looked very good, they should both be over 4.80+ multiple times this year.

Isinbayeva made 4.83 clean but didn't have much height over it, it wasn't that great of a jump for her. She looked like crap at 4.93. Early season for her though, I am sure she'll be unstoppable as always by the time she returns to Berlin.
