Isinbayeva wins with new record

BBC Online

Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva broke her own women's pole vault world record on the way to defending her Olympic title.

The 26-year-old beat the record by a centimetre with a clearance of 5.05 metres, finishing ahead of American Jennifer Stuczynski, who cleared 4.80m.

Russia's Svetlana Feofanova took bronze with a vault of 4.75m.

Isinbayeva, who has also won two world titles, has now broken the world record on three occasions this year - in Rome, Monaco, and now in Beijing.
