Russian Yelena Isinbayeva cemented her place in the pantheon of track and field greats by winning a third world pole vault title on home soil at the World Athletics Championships yesterday.
It was a first global title for the 31-year-old two-time Olympic champion since she won at the Beijing Games in 2008, and made a mockery of suggestions that her powers are waning and retirement beckoning.
Isinbayeva said afterwards that she would be taking 18 months out of the sport to have a baby, but said she would be back for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
