(June 1, 2008) After Isinbayeva defeated Stuczynski at the Summer Olympics, Isinbayeva responded to Stuczynski's claims by saying "I can stay quiet when they are right, but when they are wrong, why should I stay quiet? They said 'Wooooo' when she jumped 4.90, but I jumped this height four years ago. It is nothing special."Los Angeles Times: Pole Vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva Thinks She's Above... (August 18, 2008)-
