Poland`s Rogowska ends Isinbayeva`s streak

Berlin: Poland`s Anna Rogowska upset struggling Russian world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva for the second time in a month when she won the women`s pole vault at the world athletics championships.

Rogowska claimed the title with a clearance of 4.75 metres while a stunned Isinbayeva failed to clear a height.The Russian had won the last four global titles, claiming gold at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics and 2005 and 2007 world championships as well as a host of European and indoor titles. She also lost to Rogowska at the London Grand Prix last month and looked sluggish in all three attempts on Monday.
