Yelena Isinbayeva (RUS), Pole Vault World record holder, two-time defending Olympic champion -

Her expectations for tomorrow:

I’m in good shape. We’ve done all the work, we’ve done good preparations. It’s been very hard the past several months. And (my debut in) Sotteville showed that I’m in good shape. But it was my first competition and I was over emotional. But I was ready to jump very high.

Of course I expect a great competition and a good result. A good result would be a world lead, and then who knows, maybe a World record.

Fabiana Murer (BRA), reigning World champion in the Pole Vault -

On slow start to season:

I started with two competitions in Brazil and they weren’t so good. They came after a very long period of training – I didn’t do indoor season this year – almost six months of just training. Which can be very hard for an athlete. I think I needed more competitions. Then I went to the meeting in Eugene, and it was good, and I started to feel more confident, and I won the competition. Then I went to New York one week later and won there with a good mark. After that I wanted to continue competing but I had to stop and return to training again. And it’s been good, I feel more confident and I’m getting more consistent.

For tomorrow I thinking about improving my season’s best and then I’ll start thinking about the Olympic Games.

Strutz makes it over 4.54 on her third, but no luck for Boslak and Pyrek who go out.

Bar goes to 4.62.Silva makes on her first attempt, Bleasdale and Ptacnikova on their second, Strutz goes out and passes for Murer, Spiegelburg, Feofanova and Isinbayeva.

Bleasdale passes 4.70. Everyone else attempts, even Isinbayeva, and they all miss their first attempt.

[rainbowgirl28]

Shocker! Isi NHs!

Spiegelburg clears 4.70 on her second attempt, but no one else can manage the height! Bleasdale passed, so she is still in.

Bar goes to 4.76 and it looks like Spiegelburg is going to pass.

[rainbowgirl28]

No luck for Bleasdale at 4.76, but Spiegelburg with a big PR and German Record 4.82!!
