Lack of competition stifles Isinbayeva
Published: 31 July, 2007, 06:36
With the Athletics World Championships just a month away, Russia's world champion pole vaulter, Elena Isinbayeva, says a lack of competition is destroying her enthusiasm for the sport.
Elena Isinbayeva has been virtually unbeatable for three years and became the first woman to top five metres two years ago.
She's already broken the world record over twenty times. But says she's finding it hard to push herself when no-one in the sport can mount a serious challenge.
However, she's vowed to compete until for another two Olympics.
