Meike Kroger (Germany)
Meike Kroger takes a break during the women's high jump competition at the 2009 World Athletics Championships at the Olympic stadium in Berlin.
Anna Rogowska (Poland) Yelena Isinbayeva was not the only startlingly attractive competitor in the women's pole vault. This year's champion, Anna Rogowska, matched her Russian rival in skill and the good looks department.
Defeating Yelena for the second time in two months -- Anna also beat her at the London Grand Prix last month -- the Beijing Olympics bronze medalist claimed her first world title in Berlin with a clearance of 4.75 metres.
Tatyana Lebedeva (Russia) The triple-jumper, a gold medallist at the 2004 Athens Olympics and a silver medallist at Beijing, is no longer the best, finishing sixth in her event.
Tatyana won back-to-back gold medals in the event at the world championships in Edmonton (2001) and Paris (2003) besides winning the long jump gold at the last championships in Osaka (2007). If that is not fantastic, what is?
