World indoor best for Isinbayeva in Donetsk - 5.00m!
I wouldn't want to speculate on what her contract provides for any kind of records. Given who she is and what she's done, additional records may not have much of an impact on her financial well being.
she coud have jumped 4.96/4.97/4.98/4.99/5.00 at different euro meets & instead jumps 4.97 & 5.00 at donetsk for which presumably she will get only the 1 payment ?
is 1 donetsk payment = 5 payments from euro meets ?
Maybe she doesn't want to leave room for Jen to break into the WR progression.
My thoughts.
Jenn had some good attempts at the WR in Boston. Isinbayeva has so much money right now she doesn't know what to do with it all.
I am a little surprised because she has made a big deal about wanting to break Bubka's record for the most records, but I think she likes feeling like she out of everyone's reach. It really bothered her last year that everyone talked about Jenn catching up to her this year, and she knew that the iWR was soft and within Jenn's reach. I think 5 meters is within Jenn's reach as well, but it's a bigger barrier psychologically.
Or maybe Bubka just slipped her a lot of cash to do 5 meters at his meet *shrug*
