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.
She is the first sportswoman in 10 years since Steffi Graf to win the prize.
