Isinbaeva vaults to new height

Agencies, Beijing
Welcome to the rest of the Beijing Olympicsthe Summer Games of2008,A.P.
After Phelps.
The games continued Monday in search of a new headliner now
that Michael Phelps has towelled off for the last time. The Bird's Nest seemed the likeliest place for someone to emerge and, indeed, the big news of the day came from there.
Elena ISiribheva of Russia 0ut in yet another masterful display of high-class pole vaulting here on
Monday to better her own world record on the way to defending Olympic gold.
The reigning double world and triple European champion cleared 5.05m, 1cm higher than her own world record of 5.04m set in Monaco last month.
"I love to be alone at the top," said Isinbaeva. "It's so cool and I will try to keep my position as long as possible."
She added that she still believed in what she said after she won the world title in Osaka last year that no one could beat her but herself.
"I like to prove it, not just say it. I like to prove who is the best and who is the Stfdh^dSt."
Worringly for her competitors, Isinbaeva said she thought she could go higher.
"I don’t know how high I can go," she said. “My coach says I can go 5.20m or higher and I trust him."
The height was also a massive 25cm higher than her closest competitor in an event she has completely dominated for the last four years and in which she has rarely been tested by rivals.
The 26-year-old has been the world record holder since July 2004 and has now raised the bar on 24 occasions, although until last month she had not broken the outdoor mark since 2005.
However, it wasn't all good news.
There was also the sad sight of Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang limping to the starting blocks, trying to race through injuries and quickly find-ingouthecouldn't.
Liu is China's first-ever male Sold medalist in track, having won io 110 meters in Alliens. Folks have spent the last four years expecting him to do it again on home turf, and in this land of 1.3 billion people, he's nearly as much of a celebritynot just sports star, full-fledged celebrityas their main man, Yao Ming.
That's why people inside the stadium cried. Why folks watching at subway stations gasped. Why his personal coach was too overcome with grief to speak at a news conference.
The Olympics, however, still went on Monday.
Other notable events included another rout by the USA men's basketball and softball teams, a frustrating silver for gymnast Nastia Liukin and a bad orcak, in more ways than one, for USA cyclists.
China heads the medal table with 39 gold, four more than their previous best of 32 in Athens and well ahead of the United States on
22 and Great Britain on 12 as the Olympics went into their final week.
China reaped another four gold medals Monday, three in gymastics and the men's team table tennis, while the United States won two in athletics and one in equestrian.
After a series of athletics setbacks here, the United States fortunes turned when Angelo Taylor led home Kerron Clement and Bershawn Jackson to sweep the 400m hurdles final and Stephanie Brown-Trafton won the women's discus.
Brimin Kipruto continued Kenya's dominance of the 3000m steeplechase, winning their seventh consecutive title, while 18-year-old Pamela Jelimo became the first Kenyan woman to win an Olympic track gold when she won the 800m.
Mozambique's Maria Mutola finished fifth in the 33-year-old's sixth and final Olympics.
Australia won three gold medals on the day starting with the women's triathlon where triple world champion Emma Snowsill won by more than a minute from Vanessa Fernandes of Portugal.
Australia also won both the men's and women's yachting 470 class.
Great Britain ended a 100-year drought in cycling's team pursuit, racing away with the title for the first time since 1908 and smashing their own world record on the way in3min53.3I4sec.
Denmark claimed the silver medal while New Zealand beat defending Olympic champions Australia to claim the bronze.
In women's football, Brazil came from a goal down to thrash Germany 4-1 in their semifinal, avenging their defeat in last year's World Cup final, and setting up a Sold medal match against the 'nited States who beat Japan 4-2.
