Isinbayeva thinks 510

MOSCOW (RUS): Pole vault two-time Olympic champion and world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva confirmed that 2016 will be the last year in her athletics career. “We’ll strive for next world record if we decide to prepare purposefully for Rio Olympics. I have 510 jump on my mind but in the same time I think that 515 is the limit for women. I will try to draw nearer this mark and set a world record, which will stay for 100 years. I want to include my name into the athletics history for a long time,” said Isinbayeva in her quote to “Bolshoy Sport” magazine.
