Martina Strutz of Germany took silver at 4.80, and Svetlana Feofanova of Russia earned bronze with a height of 4.75.
Isinbayeva, who failed to defend her title in Berlin two years ago after no-heighting in the final, cleared her first vault of 4.65 meters, but then failed at 4.75 once and 4.80 twice to finish in sixth place.
