Russian Pole Vault Queen Yelena Isinbayeva sent a home crowd into raptures at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow,Russia on Tuesday Aug 13,2013 when she ended a 5-year title rot with a third World Championship gold.

They had come for her in large numbers and big voice. They were willing if she was. The crowd was there as much in hope that at 31 the two-time world champion and dual gold medalist could still do it. They came because it was at home and she was theirs, to see her off. They hoped for success but they did not expect it.
