Dang... it appears that Lena's decided to call it a night. I guess if she's feeling off, she can just take the win and rest up for Brussels. But this meet has sure been a let-down.

Isinbayeva takes straightforward victory

Why ever doubt Yelena Isinbayeva in the women’s Pole Vault? In trouble at 4.75m, her doubts if she ever experienced any, which is unlikely, were soon dispelled at her next height. Game over and no surprise!

The Russian, who has taken everything that there is to be won during the last Olympiad and set her 24th World record in Beijing while defending her Olympic title, celebrated with a first time clearance at 4.88.

In second position after a third time success at 4.75 behind American Area record holder Jenn Stuczynski, who had taken that bar in her second attempt, the peerless Isinbayeva flew well clear over 4.88, while the American had three failures at 4.93 in response, after passing what was ultimately Isinbayeva’s winning height.

Isinbayeva made no attempts at any further heights, ending her day with the straightforward victory, still fatigued after Beijing.
