Our Olympic hottie Yelena Isinbayeva keeps getting hotter and hotter. Translation: She just broke the world record in women’s pole vault.

Yelena, the “sex symbol of male couch potatoes”, vaulted 5.03 meters during the Rome Golden Gala meet last Friday to eclipse her previous world record by two centimeters.

Maybe she will break the record again in Beijing? Not unlikely. And those male couch potatoes will be cheering for her.

Former pole vault world champion Giuseppe Gibilisco of Italy is looking forward to the Beijing Olympic Games after his two-year suspension was rescinded last Friday, May 9.

He was banned by the Italian Athletics Federation last July for “having contact with” Italian doctor Carlo Santuccione, who has been linked to doping and is alleged to have provided illegal drugs to athletes. The Commission on Arbitration for Sports overturned this ban following an appeal by Gibilisco.
