A participant in the Athenian Olympiad, the champion of Russia in 2004, Anastasiya Ivanova (now Shvedova), after returning from injury to the sector for pole vaulting, finished second at the competitions in the French city Obone with 4.31, which only 9 centimeters worse than her personal best indoors.
Let us recall that Anastasiya obtained the serious injury during the qualification rounds at the Olympic Games in Athens. For more than a year we did not see her in the sector, and on 29 January she came out for the first time at the international competitions in Dresden, where she was fourth with 4.20. And in Obone Ivanova yielded to the winner, the Frenchwoman Boslak (4.31) only on the number of attempts.
I'm guessing that Isi, Feo, and Polnova already had a pass to Athens and didn't compete in the '04 Russian championships.
