What she could not necessarily provide to order was a world indoor record in
her first competitive vault of the season less than two months into the new

GREAT BUBKA

| Isinbayeva and
Bubka | Bubka, who has been less than complimentary about the standard of women's
pole vaulting in the past, was hoping for a world record to add extra lustre to
his competition. On the eve of the event he told reporters he believed
Isinbayeva would be the first woman past five metres, equivalent to his
pioneering six-metres leap.
"Well if the great Bubka said this, I think it is quite
possible," Isinbayeva responded. "As you know, human possibilities are
unlimited. So I greatly hope that I will one day do what the great Bubka says."
