World, Olympic and European Pole Vault Champion, Yelena Isinbayeva arrived in Russia today to spend some time in Moscow followed by her home town of Volgograd.
To the waiting Russian media she said she would evaluate her unblemished season with a ‘9' on a 10-point scale. The driven Russian has yet again proved herself to be head, shoulders and 3cm above the competition (4.88m jump from Jennifer Stuczynski, USA is the closest anyone has come to the 11-time World Record holder this year) with a new World Indoor record, 19 unchallenged wins and another World Championship gold to add to her ever growing medal collection.
Isinbayeva will start her preparation for the 2008 indoor season on November 12th in Monte Carlo, details of her competition schedule are not yet known but she has confirmed that she plans to defend her title at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Spain.
