Yelena Isinbayeva, DN Galan Stockholm DL 2011, photo by PhotoRun.net
Yelena Isinbayeva showed her prowess once again in the pole vault, setting a new WR for the indoor event. Clearing 4.92m for the win and best jump of the year, Isinbayeva shot for the stars and reached them! Clearing 5.01 meters or 16 feet, five and one quarter inches, Yelena Isinbayeva set her 13th indoor world record and 28th overall. This world record was set at the XL-Galan indoor meeting early today, Thursday, February 23, 2012.
This could not come at a more perfect time for the Russian vaulter, who is to compete at the World Indoors March 9-11, in Istanbul, Turkey. We look forward to seeing her compete against Holly Bleasdale (who jumped 4.72m today), perhaps Jenn Suhr of the US and some of the other top women vaulters in the world.
It has been an interesting year for vaulting. On January 22, 2012, Holly Bleasdale of Great Britian cleared 4.87m or 15-11.25, setting a new UK
indoor record and giving her the second best indoor vault of all time. On February 4, 2012, Jenn Suhr surpassed Bleasdale with a jump of 4.88m or 16 feet, .25 inches for a new AR and the top vault of 2012.
Today, Stockholm time, Yelena Isinbayeva clears 4.92m, to take the 2012 global lead, and then, she clears 5.01m, or 16 feet, 5.25 inches for a new World record. The women's pole vault could not be hotter right now!
