Olympic return Yelena Isinbayeva will represent Russia at the Olympics for the second time in her career this summer in Beijing, where she will be an overwhelming favorite to repeat as champion in the women's pole vault. In setting 21 world records, winning eight straight gold medals in indoor and outdoor championships, remaining virtually unbeaten since the 2004 Olympics in Athens and being selected IAAF Female Athlete of the Year in 2004 and 2005, Isinbayeva has established herself as one of the most successful athletes of her generation. She owns 33 of the top 50 marks in the history of the event.
Barreling toward Beijing Isinbayeva was simply brilliant during 2007, winning all 18 of her meets on the year including the 100th Millrose Games, the World Championship in Osaka and the IAAF World Athletics Final. On February 12, 2007, she broke the indoor world record with a mark of 4. 93m/16-2 in Ukraine. At the same meet this February, Isinbayeva raised her world mark to 4. 95m/16-2 ¾.

Streak snapped Isinbayeva started the 2008 season in typically spectacular style, bettering her own world indoor record in Donetsk, Ukraine. But in her next competition she surrendered her 23-competition unbeaten streak to her fierce rival Svetlana Feofanova in Bydgoszcz, Poland after failing to clear 4. 81m. Her first indoor defeat in four years was partially blamed on traveling, as she had attended the Laureus World Sports Awards in St. Petersburg, Russia only 48 hours before competing in Poland.
Magic mark In July 2005, Isinbayeva broke the world record four times. In Lausanne, she added an extra centimetre to her own mark clearing 4. 93m/16-2. Eleven days later, in Madrid, she added an additional 2cm to the record, clearing 4. 95m/16-2 ¾. Later in London she became the first woman ever to clear 5. 00m/16-4 ¾, achieving the mark with a single attempt. At the World Championships in Helsinki, she pushed the world record to 5. 01m/16-5 ¼ with her winning jump.
Olympic showdown After trading world record jumps with fellow Russian Svetlana Feofanova throughout 2004, the stage was set for an epic showdown between the two bitter rivals at the Athens Olympics. Although the competition did not reach the heights that were anticipated, the rivalry between the two brought the event alive. With all of the other events finished, a captivated crowd watched as Feofanova failed at 4. 90m/16-0 ¾, giving Isinbayeva gold. Isinbayeva then rubbed salt into her compatriot's wound by attempting and clearing a new world record height of 4. 91m/16-1 ¼.
Success secrets In August 2005, British pole vault coach Steve Rippon told the BBC that Isinbayeva, "is one of the few female pole vaulters I look at and think her technique is as good as the men's. In fact, the second part of her jump is probably better than any male pole vaulter currently competing. She has a fantastic technique. " Isinbayeva's high level of body control, courtesy of her gymnastics background, pays off in the "L-Phase," where it is vital for a vaulter to use the pole's rebound to convert horizontal speed into height.
Armed athlete Isinbayeva received a bachelor's degree after graduating from the Volgograd State Academy of Physical Culture, and is currently studying for her master's. In Russian club competitions, she represents the railroad military team. Isinbayeva is formally an officer in the Russian army, and on August 4, 2005 she was given the military rank of senior lieutenant. On her homepage, she states she is working to become a Physical Educator. Yelena Isinbayeva's Russian heritage and striking good looks have drawn her comparisons to Anna Kournikova -- only with more athletic accomplishments. Ian Walton/Getty Images Yelena Isinbayeva's Russian heritage and striking good looks have drawn her comparisons to Anna Kournikova -- only with more athletic accomplishments.
Sharapova similarity In an interview with The Guardian, Isinbayeva poked fun of the fact that female pole vaulters are seen as sex symbols for "male couch potatoes," as their slim but muscular build makes them highly attractive. In addition, she acknowledges that her rags-to-riches career, combined with her work ethic and sex symbol status, makes her somewhat similar to Maria Sharapova: "We are quite similar," Isinbayeva said. "Being famous sportswomen is not easy and her parents also sacrificed everything for her. And, like (Sharopova), the idea of being glamorous is very important to me. I always want to look like a girl. I don't agree that you are either a sportswoman or a girl. It's important that there are women who bring glamour to sport. "
Too big too fast From the ages of 5 to 15, Isinbayeva trained as a gymnast in her hometown of Volgograd. She ultimately left the sport because as she grew older, she was considered too tall to be competitive in gymnastics, ultimately attaining a height of 5-9. In 1999, she won the pole vault at the World Youth Games in Bydgoszcz, Poland when she cleared a world youth record 4. 10m/13-5 ¼. At the 2000 World Junior Championships, she cleared 4. 20m/13-9 ¼ to take gold and set a world junior record.
Modest beginnings Isinbayeva was born in a modest environment and remembers that her parents had to make many financial sacrifices in her early career. Her father, Gadzhi Gadzhiyevich Isinbayev, is a plumber and a member of a small (70,000-people strong) ethnic group of Tabasarans who mostly live in Dagestan. Her mother, a shop assistant, is an ethnic Russian. Isinbayeva also has a sister named Inna.

Reasons for success
Setting 21 world records, staying virtually unbeaten since the Olympic Games of 2004 (winning eight straight gold medals in indoor and outdoor championships) and being elected IAAF Female Athlete of the Year in 2004 and 2005, Isinbayeva has established herself as one of the most successful athletes of her generation.
In August 2005, top UK pole vault coach Steve Rippon said to the BBC that "she [Isinbayeva] is one of the few female pole vaulters I look at and think her technique is as good as the men's. In fact, the second part of her jump is probably better than any male pole vaulter currently competing. She has a fantastic technique, she's quite tall (almost 5ft 9in) and she runs extremely well. "[3]
These statements are confirmable by close observation of her jumps; in detail, Isinbayeva's high level of body control (courtesy of her gymnastics background) especially pays off in the so-called "L-Phase", where it is vital to use the pole's rebound to convert horizontal speed into height. Common mistakes are getting rebounded away in an angle (rather than vertically up) or inability to keep the limbs stiff, both resulting in loss of vertical speed and therefore less height. In Isinbayeva's case, her L-Phase is exemplary.
Personal life
Her father, Gadzhi Gadzhiyevich Isinbayev, is a plumber and a member of a small (70,000-people strong) ethnic group of Tabasarans who mostly live in Dagestan. The Tabasarans are an ethnic group who live mostly in Dagestan, Russia.

Isinbayeva also has a sister called Inna. Isinbayeva was born in a modest environment and remembers that her parents had to make many financial sacrifices in her early career. [4][5]
She has a bachelor's degree after graduating from the Volgograd State Academy of Physical Culture, and is currently studying for her master's. In the Russian club competitions she represents the railroad military team, she is formally an officer in the Russian army, and on August 4, 2005 she was given military rank of senior lieutenant.

On her homepage, she states she is working to become a Physical Educator.
Isinbayeva states that she has a boyfriend of three years, a fellow pole vaulter whose name she doesn't reveal. She also acknowledges that she does not get along with her compatriot and rival Svetlana Feofanova. Svetlana Yevgenyevna Feofanova ( Russian: Светлана Евгеньевна Феофанова born 16 July, 1980 in Moscow) is a Russian [4]
She likes dolphins and Russian history. "I read a lot about Russian history, but I also love everything to do with dolphins, and collect small models of them. I have about 30 of them. My dream one day is to swim with real dolphins. I like them so much. "[6] Since recently, she writes on her homepage that she indeed now owns several of them. [7]
In an interview with The Guardian, Isinbayeva makes fun of the fact that female pole vaulters are seen as sex symbols for "male couch potatoes", as their usual muscular, but slim build makes them highly attractive. A sex symbol is a famous person of either gender typically an Actor, Musician, model, Teen idol, or Sports star In addition, she acknowledges that her rags-to-riches career, combined with her work ethic and sex symbol status, makes her somewhat similar to Maria Sharapova: "We [Sharapova and herself] are quite similar. Maria Yuryevna Sharapova ( Mariya Yur’evna Sharapova; born April 19 1987 is a Russian professional Tennis player Being famous sportswomen is not easy and her parents also sacrificed everything for her. And, like (Sharopova), the idea of being glamorous is very important to me. I always want to look like a girl. I don't agree that you are either a sportswoman or a girl. It's important that there are women who bring glamour to sport. " Isinbayeva feels she could peak at 5. 15m, and plans to jump at least until the Olympics of 2012,[5] but since Moscow was elected hosts of the 2013 World Championships, she has suggested she may continue until then. The 14th World Championships in Athletics will be held in 2013 in Moscow, Russia.
