Isinbayeva improves world record


Isinbayeva has now set 16 world records outdoors
Russia's Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva improved her own pole vault record by a centimetre to 5.07 metres at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix.
Isinbayeva set her second new mark of the year, beating her previous best of 5.06m at last month's Golden League meeting in Zurich.
That followed her failure to defend her world title in Berlin last month when she did not manage to clear a height.
Isinbayeva, 27, has now set 16 world records outdoors and 12 indoors.

Isinbayeva fails to set new pole vault record (AFP)

20 September 2009 SHANGHAI - Russian Yelena Isinbayeva failed to set a new world record in the women’s pole vault at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet on Sunday.
Her previous best mark of 5.06m set at last month’s Golden League meet in Zurich still stands.

Isinbayeva won the women’s pole vault event at the post-season IAAF event after clearing a height of 4.85m ahead of Poland’s Anna Rogowska at 4.60m.

Isinbayeva failed on her third attempt to set a new world record of 5.07m.

The Russian pole vault queen came to Shanghai looking for redemption after failing to win a medal at the world championships in Berlin, where she was chasing an unprecedented third consecutive world gold.
