Slesarenko strikes gold

Yelena Slesarenko upset red-hot favourite Hestrie Cloete in the high jump as the Russian added Olympic gold to her World Indoor title.

The 22-year-old from Volgograd set a new Olympic record of 2.06metres to win the final by four centimetres, breaking the eight-year-old Games best, held by Stefka Kostadinova, by 1cm.
