Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva moved closer to becoming the first woman to clear the five metres milestone when setting another world record last night.
After first-time clearances at 4.60 and 4.70 at the Lausanne Super Grand Prix meeting, Isinbayeva then had the bar raised to the new record height of 4.93m.
Isinbayeva saw it remain intact after brushing it, as she added a centimetre to the mark she achieved in last August's IAAF Golden League event in Brussels.
The 23-year-old Russian, who earned a bonus of just under £15,000 plus a winner's purse of £5,700, has now broken seven indoor and outdoor world records.
Isinbayeva, who was making her first appearance of the summer season, has vowed she will clear five metres this year after doing it a couple of times in training.
