world Women Pole Vault History

Venue: Athens Olympic Stadium, Marousi. Capp.: 72,000.
38 competitors from 27 nations.
Isinbaeva and Feofanova had improved Dragila’s world record of 4.81 on eight occasions, with six records attributable to Isinbaeva. They were expected to dispute the gold medal, with the gymnastic excellence of Feofanova pitted against the athleticism and power of Isinbaeva. The biggest surprise of the event was the defending champion’s failure to qualify at 4.40. The Olympic record of 4.60 fell initially to Rogowska who cleared 4.65 first time, and she was soon joined by Feofanova and Isinbaeva. Isinbaeva then had a failure at 4.70, after the other two cleared first time. Isinbaeva had another failure at the next height, and passed to 4.80 when Feofanova cleared 4.75 second time. There were distinct shades of Sergey Bubka winning the 1988 title with his last attempt at 5.90. Isinbaeva duly soared over 4.80, and the dismayed Feofanova then moved to 4.85 without success, and when Isinbaeva cleared (now on August 24 at three minutes past midnight), Feofanova tried at 4.90. She missed, and Isinbaeva had the bar moved up one centimetre to a new world record, which she cleared. Her statement that she had cleared 5.00 in training seemed wholly plausible, it was a height she could probably have cleared that night, but she rested on her laurels with the dual pleasure of Olympic gold and a world record.
