Isinbayeva is Russia's `Athlete of the Year'

MOSCOW, DEC. 23. Olympic pole vault champion and world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva was honoured as Russia's Athlete of the Year on Wednesday.

``Undoubtedly Yelena has been the most consistent performer this year,'' president of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Leonid Tyagachyov said.

The Russian has dominated the women's pole vault for the last 12 months, setting eight indoor and outdoor world records, including the 4.91m mark she cleared on her way to capturing the Olympic gold medal in Athens.

She increased the mark to 4.92m in Brussels in Sept. Isinbayeva was also named as the IAAF female athlete of the year.
