 Isinbayeva won the Olympic and world indoor titles in 2004 |
Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva was back in record-breaking form on Saturday as she soared to a new world indoor pole vault record of 4.87m. The Russian set eight records indoors and out last season and was at her best again in the Sergei Bubka annual pole vault competition in the Ukraine.
Her vault was still four centimetres short of her outdoor word record.
"This is the first world mark of the year," said the 22-year-old. "I'm sure there will be more."
American Derek Miles set a personal best of 5.85m to win the men's event, ahead of Russian Igor Pavlov.
