I would guess she passed 4.79 and attempted 4.84? Or else she went out at 4.79.

And she clears 4.90 on her third!

She is clean over the bar but very close to it. Her hips put a few inches on it, but her legs nearly brushed it on the way up and down.

She is VERY fired up about this.

Women's Pole Vault 21:58 Taking a while for her to adjust to her new technique...but this time she's over! Great effort!
Women's Pole Vault 21:58 So in her final jump she will have to clear it.
Women's Pole Vault 21:57 Isinbayeva fails again at 4.90...





People don't realize how long it takes to adjust to a new coach.

Me too. I think she just requested the bar up to 5.02.

Edit: Eurosport says 5.00, so what do I know?

Edit #2: Eurosport lies. It was 5.02!

They cut to a shot of Isinbayeva talking to the officials... either she was telling them what height she wanted to go to, or quitting.

Isinbayeva sets the bar to 5.02. Pyrek can be seen in the background clapping for her, as is the whole stadium.

Her first attempt looks decent! She comes down on the bar, but it looked like she was up there. They did not show the replay though because the men's 1500 just started.

Crowd noise makes it sound like she missed 2nd attempt.

Edit: Yep.

Second attempt is also a decent jump but a miss.
