World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva said she is looking forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games after taking an easy win in the women's pole vault in the 2007 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix on Friday.
"Coming to Shanghai this year is very important to me. It gives me inspiration for Beijing. I'm looking forward to better performance next year in Beijing, another world record probably," said the Russian after she won with 4.83 meters.
She tried once but failed to break her world record at 5.02 meters. She gave up two chances at the height.
"It's raining. It's very dangerous to jump under such condition, for one may get hurt easily," said Isinbayeva, who leaves for South Korea on Saturday for another tournament.
Isinbayeva has for 16 times broken the world record.
