Yelena Isinbayeva, a russian pole vaulter, won the gold medal in the 2008 Olympic Games. Her vault of 5 meters earned her both the gold medal and the World Record in the women's pole vault.
Yelena scaled such heights as a result of years of training. Yelena's level of fitness allows her to take over 20 high quality vaults per session.
Pole vaulters are known for their high level of fitness. In fact, a study was conducted to rank sports according to their fitness and determined that track and field was number one. Track and field did their own study and found that pole vaulters were the fittest of all the events. Is it fair then to say that Yelena is the fittest female athlete in the world?
