Yelena Touches the Sky


The russian sensation in the olympics has been Yelena Isinbayeva, a track and field competitor, who today performed in the finals of the pole vaulting competition, and as many expected broke the world record, not just any record, but her world record.

She has had the world record since 2004 and now she shattered it jumping over an altitude of 5.05 meters. The silver medalist could only get 4.80, imagine the difference(25 cm to be exact).

Isinbayeva, celebrated as soon as she fell to the ground (picture) and as soon as she could, rushed over to pick up a russian flag to do her well deserved victory lap.

Another incredible story, from another incredible athlete.
