Olympic Women's Finals - Isi 5.05 WR, Stuczynski 4.80

[rainbowgirl28]

Not a ton of height on the bar, but she has a nice clean jump at 4.95. She'll have to step it up a level to make 5.05 though.

Olympic record for Isinbayeva
On her final attempt at 4.95m, Yelena Isinbayeva cleared the bar and broke the Olympic record she set in winning gold in Athens.

Posted 9:53 AM ET
Yelena misses again
This was not close
Posted 9:51 AM ET
Jenn's done
Jenn Stuczynski missed all 3 attempts at 4.90m and will take away silver. Isinbayeva is still jumping. She was way over 4.95m but must have grazed the bar which fell off late. She has 2 more attempts.

AWESOME!! Proud of Jenn.
Can't wait to see how Isi does. Exciting!

[CLCPV04]

looks like she just came off the pole early, not being patient to invert fully and stay with it.

[rainbowgirl28]

The crowd roars for Isi but she misses her first. Not a good attempt, she doesn't time up with the pole at all.

One miss for Isinbayeva. She swept the bar with her knee.

And back to the damn horses.

Argh more equestrian. The Danish people have no appreciation of the pole vault!
