Yelena lost in pole vault

Against a strong headwind, Usain Bolt of Jamaica eased to victory in the 100 meters at the London Grand Prix, finishing in 9.91 seconds. Another of the sport's biggest stars, Russian female pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva, lost for the first time in six years. Anna Rogowska of Poland beat Isinbayeva. Isinbayeva entered the competition at 15 feet, 4 1/4 inches, but cleared it only on her final attempt. The Russian failed three times at 15-8 1/4. A dejected and shocked Yelena said, "I'm a little disappointed, it's unusual for me as I don't know how to come second."

Meanwhile five Jamaican track and field athletes have tested positive for doping. Although a newspaper reported none of the nation's premier sprinters is among the group, all the athletes were to be on the nation's team for next month's World Championships.
