Isinbayeva satisfied with 485

MOSCOW (RUS, Feb 7): The top Russian indoor meet, the Russian Winter (IAAF Indoor Permit) changed its traditional day as they wanted to accomodate Yelena Isinbayeva. The star fulfilled the expectations for the full crowd as she cleared 460, 475 and world leading 485 in first attempt. Then the world record tries came, first two at 501 and third was changed as she did in the past to 502. But no success this time.

“I was happy to compete before my fans and supporters at home. Because it was my first competition this winter I m satisfied. First three jumps were good, then at 501 i changed the poles to stiffer ones and now I see that was a mistake I should remain wit the previous ones. I wanted to give to the excellent public a gift but it did not happen. But since now Russian Winter meet remains in my heart,” she said after debuting at the competition.

She will now have a longer break until Sergey Bubka Donetsk meet on March 6. Behind her Yulia Golubchikova had 470, Svetlana Feofanova 460, Tatyana Polnova 450 and Poland´s Monika Pyrek also 450.
