OLYMPIC pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva said yesterday she would take an indefinite break from competition.
"I have been thinking over this very carefully the last three weeks and now come to the conclusion that a break from competing is absolutely necessary for me," the world record holder said in a statement released by her agent. Isinbayeva had hinted that she may take a break from competition after failing to medal at the world indoor championships in Doha last month. It was the second world championship in which the Russian, who struck gold at the last two Olympics, failed to win.
