The main photo above shows an ecstatic Yelena Slesarenko after clearing a new Olympic Record
2.06m in the High Jump at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The sequence of inset pictures show
the various stages of Yelena's jump.
The Gold medal was confirmed for the Russian when South Africa's Hestrie Cloete failed at 2.06m.
