SOTTEVILLE-LES-ROUEN:
Russia’s pole vaulting legend Yelena Isinbayeva won on her first outdoor outing this season at the European Athletics Outdoor Premium Meetings, just under a month ahead of her bid for a third successive Olympics title.
The 30-year-old, who won her fourth world indoor title earlier this year in Istanbul, won with a best vault of 4.75 metres, which she achieved on her first attempt.
Isinbayeva was happy at her evening’s work and looking forward to competing at the higher-profile Monaco meeting on July 20 before heading for London. “I am happy with my victory,” she said. “I have a huge amount of potential to improve. But I still have adjustments to do.”
