So why the sad face? Because, I've seen so many world records broken in preparation for the Olympics, and then only to fall short in the Olympics themselves.
But, the future looks bright for Isinbayeva, who has been dominating the sport recently. The world record she broke was her own mark of 5.03m that she set only 3 weeks back on July 11, 2008.
And for those of you who are still wondering if Allison Stokke will be in the olympics.
Stop.
Because she's not...
In May she helped set the school (UC Berkeley Cal Bears) record for women's pole vaulting at 3.99m. Needless to say Ms. Stokke has a long ways to go.
There's always the next olympics fellas.
Sadly, Isinbayeva breaks the pole vault world record
