Waterford Crystal European Athlete of the Year has crowned a new “queen” for the 2008 year in Yelena Isinbayeva.
Waterford Crystal European Athlete of the Year 2008 Yelena Isinbayeva
Isinbayeva once again was the top choice not only with the fan base but with the European Athletics Member Federations, and the media as well. She has been consistently in the top three spot for the last consecutive five years, winning the award for the first time in 2005.
Yelena Isinbayeva is the Olympic gold medal winner in the women’s pole vaulting event at the 2008 Beijing games. She also captured the same medal in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Setting a world record of 5.05m in Beijing she out vaulted her own previous three world records.
Isinbayeva has not been beaten at a global or continental championship since her third place finish at the 2003 World Championships.
Working hard on her pole vaulting career, her goal is to be the first women to win at the same individual event in three consecutive Olympic Games as she shoots for her competition in 2012 in London.
Although that may seem like an outstanding goal, Isinbayeva admits, “My goal is to beat the 35 world records that Sergey set.”
Yelena Isinbayeva will be presented with her Waterford Crystal European Athlete of the Year award on Saturday October 18 at an awards dinner in Amsterdam.
Congratulations Yelena Isinbayeva!

Vaulting Pole Tips
Want to jump higher?
This new ESSX vaulting pole tip is made of a unique engineered polymer from the World's Premier Material Formulator. The egg-shaped design creates a greater angle in the box to allow you to handle 2.2 to 4.4 lb stiffer vaulting poles which could allow for higher jump.
