Isinbayeva, who broke her own world record of 5.06 meters last Friday in Zurich, Switzerland, said "it is a honor for me to have been awarded with this prize (Prince of Asutrias) and I feel very happy and excited."
Isinbayeva earned 20 votes of the jury to defeat the likes of Marta Dominguez, Haile Gebreselassie, Roger Federer, the Prize's jury said.
