Stockholm meet

Unread postby PVJunkie » Wed Aug 06, 2003 9:37 am

Not in world record form, but certainly in a similarly consistent groove to Cloete was Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia, who won the women’s Pole Vault with 4.63m. Clear first time at 4.33m, 4.43m, 4.53m, and 4.63m, it was only at 4.79m that she finally came unstuck.

Soundly defeated by Isinbayeva, was a field which contained all the Russian’s main challengers for the World Championships gold in Paris later this month. In second place on 4.58m was World Indoor champion Svetlana Feofanova, who beat Tatiana Polnova on count back at the same height, to establish a Russian 1-2-3 finish in the event. USA’s World and Olympic champion Stacy Dragila was well beaten in 7th with 4.43m.
