Two-time Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva broke her indoor pole vault world record at the XL Galan indoor meeting in Stockholm last night.
Isinbayeva cleared 5.01 meters on her second attempt, topping her mark set in 2009 at Donetsk, Ukraine, by 1
centimeter.
She hasn't won at a major championship since defending her Olympic gold in Beijing four years ago.
Dayron Robles of Cuba won the 60-meter hurdles after 2004 Olympic Champion Liu Xiang was disqualified for a false start.
In the women's high jump, Russian world champion Anna Chicherova won by clearing 2 meters on her first attempt.
Ukrainian world champion Olha Saladuha won the women's triple jump with a leap of 14.79 meters.
