Yeah, it was great. One of the best moments of the games so far for me. Those two Russians (apparently) loathe each other. The winner (Isinbayeva) was on the verge of losing. She failed at one height, so raised the bar, failed the new height, then won it by equalling the world record. She then went on to set a new best jump.
