After the loss Russian agency "All sport" asks Elena whether she should have begun with the lower height, for example, 4,65 m.
Isinbaeva told the agency that there was no use to start since the height lower 4,75 m. "4,65 m is not the height I should begin competitions with and finish moreover. This is not the humiliation, but it's not my place. Silver and bronze were far from my interest, and it was unreal to win with 4,65 m. So when Anna Rogovska's attempt to 4,75 m jump appears to be successful, I took a risk and decided to jump 4,80 m. Tactically, everything was right".
Anna Rogovska from Poland, taken ?? 4,75 m height, became the winner. American Chelsea Johnson won the silver medal with 4,65 m. Pole Monica Pirek became the bronze medalist, also taken 4,65 m but lost second place due sum of attempts.
