Famous Pole Vaulter Feels Like A Queen in Korea



OCTOBER 03, 2007 03:14


“My goal is to win all the competitions I take part in until I retire after the 13th IAAF World Championships in Moscow in 2013 and break the world record 36 times,â€Â

[BruceFlorman]

Well, if I'm not mistaken, Isi closed out the first completely undefeated year of her career in Daegu last night.

Good crowd support for Isinbayeva and Liu Xiang

Women’s Pole Vault World record holder, Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva, was a comfortable winner with a first up clearance at 4.80m – her twelfth competition outdoors this year in which she has cleared this height or better. A very popular athlete in Korea, Isinbayeva was most relaxed in the press conference conducted with Liu Xiang.
[b]“This meet continues to get better and it impresses me. The spectators didn’t leave even when the track had finished but my vault was still going. The spectators in Daegu are number one in the World!â€Â

Do you suppose it was entirely coincidental that her bib number was 501?

Ha ha, alright. Less junk to lug on the plane back to Italy ... or Monaco ... or wherever she went afterward.
