Isinbayeva debuts with 4.85m leap in Moscow

08.02.2010

Yelena Isinbayeva’s 2010 debut capped the 19th edition of the Russian Winter meeting on Sunday (7).

The fourth of the nine meeting IAAF Indoor Permit series attracted athletes from 19 countries, but the large crowd that gathered at Moscow’s Indoor Central Army Club Arena came to see Russia’s Pole Vault Queen go for World record No. 28.  Even the frost that is attacking Moscow for the second consecutive month didn’t stop the Isinbayeva’s fans.

There wasn’t a new World record, but Isinbayeva did make three attempts to raise her indoor standard of 5.00m set last year in Donetsk, Ukraine. After winning the competition with a first attempt clearance of 4.85m – also a world leader - Isinbayeva tried twice at 5.01m, and ended the competition with a missed attempt at 5.02.m. Her first effort at 5.01m did look extremely encouraging.
