		Typical of Dragila, she left the stadium with a smile, a wave and some glorious words of praise for Russian Svetlana Feofanova, the woman, who took her crown in another tremendous competition and advert for the event.
		But at the Stade de France, this was Feofanova's occasion, overcoming illness to secure the title with the steely determination that shows in her face on every vault.
		Feofanova, 23, is European champion and record holder, titles she won last year when she set five indoor world records, a thread of form she maintained this winter when she improved it three more times to 4.80.

	[No title]
		Russia's Svetlana Feofanova is in an on-going struggle with America's Stacy Dragila for domination of the world pole vault scene and has the edge on her rival, holding the 2003 indoor and outdoor world titles and the indoor world record.
		Feofanova, who holds a string of European records in the discipline, has closed the gap on Dragila, who won the Olympic title in 2000 when the event made its debut.
		Feofanova is more at ease in the indoor events where there is no wind, and though she is rather on the small size for the sport, she is 1m 63cm tall and weighs 52kgs.

		For some time it seemed as if this vault would win her the Gold medal but her great rival, and fellow Russian, Yelena Isinbayeva produced a clearance of 4.80m at her third and final attempt.
		Feofanova then failed with attempts at 4.80m, 4.85m & 4.90m, meaning she had to settle for the silver medal.

		Former gymnast Feofanova, the world champion, was second with 4.75 and Anna Rogowska of Poland took the bronze with 4.70.
		In the bronze position and one jump away from defeat after failing at 4.70 and 4.75, and with Feofanova and Rogowska ahead of her, Isinbayeva put up the bar to 4.80 and cleared majestically, earning one of the biggest roars of the night from a sell-out Olympic stadium.
		Feofanova is red-haired, freckled, frowning and as pale as a ghost.

		Today it is irrelevant whether it was the influence of her rhythmic gymnastic coach, or whether it was she herself that motivated her to attempt her first jump.
		So Feofanova is not just a challenge for the organizers but also for her opponents.
		Consequently, Feofanova`s aims for the future are obvious: “There will be a woman to reach five meters,” she says.

		Birmingham, UK — Russia’s Svetlana Feofanova won the women’s Pole Vault final in the last session of the 9th IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics (14-16 March) in the National Indoor Arena, giving the championships the ultimate kudos of a 4.80m World record, the 29th in the history of the World Indoors.
		With the junior Russian having problems at her first height (4.20 — second attempt), and Feofanova similarly held up at 4.55, Isinbayeva was fatally flawed at 4.65, and after one miss had two further failures at 4.75 to end with the silver (4.60m).
		Feofanova had been flying cleanly since her problems at 4.55, with first time successes at 4.60, 4.65, 4.70, and 4.75, and with the gold already won she could be forgiven for a first time failure, when the bar was raised to a new World record of 4.80m, after such an impressive series of vaults.

	News -- Svetlana Feofanova: The leading light in women's pole vault
		The handwriting was already on the wall that, there's a new kid on the block and without taking anything away from her rivals, Feofanova is in a class of her own.
		For many, it is simply: "Feofanova and others," when it comes to women's pole vault.
		She was teased with a joke that having broken the world record and secured a five figured pay cheque, why was she attempting another jump, knowing that there wouldn't be another bonus for that from the organisers:" I'm not bothered", she replied, shrugging her shoulder and holding firmly to her shining medal.

		Heraklion, Greece - It was Russia's night in the Olympic Stadium in Heraklion, as Svetlana Feofanova took back the World record from her compatriot Yelena Isinbayeva with a clearance of 4.88m and Gulnara Samitova set a new standard for the women's 3000m Steeplechase of 9:01.59 in the Super Grand Prix "Tsiklitiria -OPAP".
		It was only last Sunday that Isinbayeva set her record of 4.87m in Gateshead and tonight Feofanova assured that this would be little more than a seven-day-wonder as she cleared 4.88 at her second attempt to snatch back, at least for a little while the record holder's laurels.
		Feofanova cleared all her last three heights at her second attempt, vaulting 4.65, then 4.75, before having the bar moved up to the World record height.

	IN THE ARENA: Vaulting women have risen rapidly
		But that gap is now all but gone, thanks to Svetlana Feofanova, a Russian who is nine years younger than the soon-to-be-32-year-old Dragila.
		Feofanova is still three centimeters short of Dragila's outdoor record, but she has broken the world indoor mark eight times in the last three years, most recently in Birmingham on Feb. 21 where she cleared 4.77 meters.
		Last season, she faced Feofanova in nine competitions and lost all nine, struggling with pain of an uncertain source in her left foot and, by her own admission, with the accumulated physical and psychological weariness of carrying the load indoors and out for more than five years.
