Gold - Yelena ISINBAEVA, RUS
I wanted to retain my title, my main goal here was the gold, but the jump wasn't great. Everything seemed to be nice and under control, I felt that I could jump higher, I don't know what happened.
Queria mantener mi titulo, mi objetivo principal aqui era conseguir el oro, pero no me ha salido muy alla. Todo parecia ir bien, bajo control, podria haber saltado mas, no se lo que ha pasado.
Silver - Jennifer STUCZYNSKI, USA
The competition started badly for me, I felt a little off but then things began to come together. I had a couple of great jumps and I passed on 4.80 metres as I was after the American record of 4.85 metres. It is always good to win a medal at a Championship like this.
La competicion ha empezado mal para mi, me veia un poco floja pero al final las cosas han salido bien. He hecho un par de saltos muy buenos, he preferido no saltar 4.80 ya que lo que queria era batir el record de Estados Unidos que esta en 4.85. Ganar una medalla en un campeonato como este siempre es positivo.
Bronze - Fabiana MURER, BRA
To break the national record with a new National and Area record is amazing. I knew that I could compete well in the World Indoors and that I was in good shape. Now I have to go back home and work to compete well in the Olympics.
Estoy muy contenta, he hecho 4,70, nuevo record nacional y sudamericano. Sabia que podia hacer un buen mundial, estaba en buena forma. Ahora hay que volver al trabajo para hacer una buena actuacion en los Juegos Olimpicos.
Bronze - Monika PYREK, POL
It has been a very good competition and the standard has been very high. I am happy with the result although for me this is still like pre season training, I prefer to have a more relaxed winter and save myself for the summer because it is going to be a long year. I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
Ha sido una competicion muy buena, de muy buen nivel. Estoy contenta por el resultado, aunque para mi es aun pre-temporada, prefiero tener una temporada de invierno tranquila y reservarme para la temporada de verano, que va a ser muy larga. Me queda mucho trabajo por hacer.
