Russia's women pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva said in Osaka today that she is ready to set a new world record at the upcoming world athletics championships starting Saturday.
The world record holder said at a press conference: "I want my jump to be a memorable one. Now I am ready. Humidity is high here, which makes training heard, but I was prepared for it. I am in good shape. "
Isinbayava, who keeps the 5.01-meter world record, has been dominating the sport for a couple of years.
She arrived in Japan on August 15 to recover from jet lag. "When I come to a new place, I try to get used to the local weather, checking many things, and feel confident before I jump," said the Russian.
