Isinbayeva has been a major champion on nine occasions (Olympic, World outdoor and indoor champion and European outdoor and indoor champion). She was also the jackpot winner of the IAAF Golden League<\/a> series in 2007 and 2009. After poor performances at the world championships in 2009 and 2010, she took a year-long break from the sport.<\/p>\n

She became the first woman to clear the five-metre barrier in 2005. Her current world record is 5.06 m outdoors, set in Zurich<\/a> in August 2009.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Her 5.01 m indoors was the world record for just over a year.[4]<\/a><\/sup> The latter was Isinbayeva’s twenty-eighth pole vault world record<\/a>. On 2 March 2013, Jenn Suhr<\/a> joined Isinbayeva as the only women who have cleared 5 metres.[5]<\/a><\/sup> In the process, Suhr took Isinbayeva’s indoor world record.<\/p>\n

Isinbayeva was named Female Athlete of the Year<\/a> by the IAAF<\/a> in 2004, 2005 and 2008, and World Sportswoman of the Year<\/a> by Laureus<\/a> in 2007 and 2009. She was given the Prince of Asturias Award<\/a> for Sports in 2009. She is one of only eight athletes (along with Valerie Adams<\/a>, Usain Bolt<\/a>, Veronica Campbell-Brown<\/a>, Jacques Freitag<\/a>, Jana Pittman<\/a>, Dani Samuels<\/a>, and David Storl<\/a>) to win world championships at the youth<\/a>, junior<\/a>, and senior level of an athletic event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
