final

August 24, 2004, 8:55 pm

Fifteen athletes had qualified for the final, three of them via the qualification level, the other twelve via their placements. Two Canadians, two Polish, Russian, Spanish and Czech as well as one participant each from Argentina, Germany, France, Iceland and Ukraine competed in this final.

The favorite was especially the Russian world record holder and third at the last world championships, Yelena Isinbayeva, who had dominated previous competitions in the Olympic season. But in the world and European champion Svetlana Feofanova, also from Russia, she had a strong competitor. The 2000 Olympic champion and 2001 world champion Stacy Dragila from the United States was also one of the closest favorites. Other contenders for top places were the two Poles Monika Pyrek as WM -Third 2001 and WM -Vierte of 2003 and Anna Rogowska, WM - and EM -Siebte. Dragila failed, however, in the preliminary round.

Eleven athletes were still in competition at the jump height of 4.55 m, six of them failed here three times and finished sixth to eleven, whereby there were four sixth place even after the failed attempt rule was applied. The new jump height, at which all five remaining competitors tried, was 4.65 m. Monika Pyrek tore three times, which meant fourth place in the end. Issinbajewa, Feofanowa and Rogowska each took the height in the first attempt, the Icelander Thórey Edda Elisdóttir saved her last jump after two failed attempts for the next height. So at 4.70 m there were four jumpers. Isinbayeva and Feofanova had made no failures, Rogowska had snapped twice, the Icelander five times. Thórey Edda Elisdóttir only had one last try. She failed and finished fifth behind Pyrek in the final standings. In the battle for the medals, it was now tight for the world record holder. Feofanowa and Rogowska jumped 4.70 m each straight away, while Isinbayeva had a failed attempt and saved her remaining jumps. But even at the next height of 4.75 m she tore once and picked up her only remaining jump, while Feofanova was successful the second time. Rogowska tore here three times, but she was still silver.

It continued with 4.80 m. With her last chance, Isinbayeva mastered this height. This made it clear that Anna Rogowska had won bronze. Feofanova now produced a failed attempt and played poker like Isinbayeva before. Now 4.85 m were required and Isinbayeva, who had found her safety again, only needed one jump here, while Feofanova failed a second time and saved her last attempt for 4.90 m, which would have meant the setting of the world record. But she did not manage to jump the height and so Svetlana Feofanova won the silver medal. Isinbayeva now had gold for sure and did not even try her hand at 4.90 m, but had 4.91 m, which would not only set her own world record, but improve it. And she succeeded the first time. Jelena Issinbayeva became Olympic champion and set a new world record with a jump of 4.91 m.

Jelena Isinbayeva was the first Russian Olympic champion in the women's pole vault . Anna Rogowska won the first Polish medal in this discipline. However, the women's pole vault had only been held once at the Olympic Games.
