Can Stacy become the 1st women over 16'?

[Jack Slocombe]

She appears on track to do it this year, but the Russians are also hot.

16' is a done deal; I need 5m this year to win a bet with oldvaulter.

There's a difference between doing it and being the first. I suspect she'll do it, but one of the Russians will beat her to it.

Oh, I still feel confident about Isinbayeva as the first one over 16ft, but June 13 is coming up awfully fast! Let's hope she competes at the Kuts Memorial that day. She had at least a 2" clearence in the 4.86 jump in Budapest. The 5m attempt was not excactly close but it will come but maybe not this year.
Dragila has had lots to do with the popularity of this event and I am not writing her off.
