The Associated Press reports: Two-time Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva broke her indoor pole vault world record at the XL Galan meet on Thursday.
Isinbayeva cleared 5.01 meters on her second attempt at Globe Arena, topping her mark set in 2009 at Donetsk, Ukraine, by 1 centimeter. She hasn't won at a major championship since defending her Olympic gold in Beijing four years ago.
"I am so happy that I came back," Isinbayeva told the crowd. "I want to say thanks a lot to my coach and to my dear fans and the crowd. Thanks a lot today for your support."

Speak for yourself. That has to be one of the most over drugged and over hyped and least attractive supposedly "female" participant ever in this sport.
Vanderleun, Vanderleun, Vanderleun. You need new glasses, contacts or a little eye surgery. You are looking at the least flattering picture of the woman that has ever been taken. Look beyond the end of your nose and check her out in every other picture ever made of her. She is not only the best in the world at what she does but is very pretty as well. Too bad you don't have the sight, sense or smarts to see it. What are you the best in the world at?
Looks like a great comeback ....
Good job ....
