	Slesarenko wrecks Cloete's high jump dream
		Russian Yelena Slesarenko deprived Hestrie Cloete of Olympic gold by flying to the women's high jump title on Saturday with a display bordering on perfection.
		Cloete, who annoys her coach by smoking up to a packet of cigarettes a day, had lost out on gold on countback in Sydney, coincidentally to another Russian called Yelena -- Yelena Yelesina.
		The time, however, the result was more clear-cut as Slesarenko, six centimetres shorter than her opponent, cleared eight jumps at the first attempt to add the Olympic title to her world indoor crown won in March.

		Bergqvist was in the hunt for the gold medal until she was missed her first attempt at 6 feet, 7 inches.
		When Yelena Yelesina of Russia and Hestrie Cloete of South Africa cleared the height, Bergqvist passed on the opportunity to try 6-7 again and moved up to 6-8, missing twice to fall out of the competition.

		In Sydney, things went much better as she took the silver medal with 2.01, the same height cleared by the winner Yelena Yelesina of Russia.
		Ironically, it was Yelesina who prevented a rematch in Edmonton when she was eliminated in the preliminaries.

		The decisive battle began at 2.02m, a height which Olympic champion Yelena Yelesina jumped on her first attempt and Russian Indoor record holder Anna Chicherova, finally cleared with a fantastic third leap.
		However, Marina Kuptsova, the European Indoor champion was very tentative and failed, and was most upset because she had hoped to attack the Russian record.
		”I was in a difficult situation,” said Yelena Yelesina, who won on count back at 2.02m.

		SYDNEY -- Hestrie Cloete soared to a silver medal in an enthralling high jump duel with Russian Yelena Yelesina to bring South Africa's Olympics medal tally to five before a vibrant 110000 crowd at Stadium Australia on Saturday night.
		Both Cloete and Yelesina cleared 2,01 metres, but the Russian edged the gold for a cleaner record earlier in the competition when Cloete took two jumps to Yelisina's one to clear 1,96 metres.
		But the story that had unfolded earlier was a golden one for the Russian and a silver lining for Africa's record holder.

		Today’s final turned into a Russian parade with Yelena Isinbayeva, the World junior record holder battling against her more illustrious colleague, the European senior record holder Feofanova.
		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).
		Soon after, the golden reality really struck home, as the only other jumpers left in the competition, Russia’s Olympic champion Yelena Yelesina, and Anna Chicherova, the national record holder, failed three times.

		Through the 1st 400m in 65sec, the pacesetter ran a lone race and when the athlete attempting to close the gap was 5000m specialist Yelena Zadorozhnaya [ Russia ], you knew that it was a race with a difference.
		From the moment this gutsy Russian went to the front, I was left wanting her to grasp victory.

		Russia's Olympic champion Yelena Yelesina hasn't produced a jump in the top 20 this year, and continued to be out of sorts during qualifying.

		Shaun Bownes was also in superb form in the 110m hurdles when he ran a SA season's best 13,43secs for fifth in a strong field of Olympians while Hestrie Cloete was on song in the high jump for a second-placed 1,96m against Russia's Yelena Yelesina who won with 1,99m.
