BERLIN: Yelena Isinbayeva, the queen of global athletics, was dethroned in the first great shock of the World Championships when she lost her first major pole-vault competition for six years.

But on the night when Usain Bolt collected his 100 meters gold medal in the Olympiastadion and then watched his fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser crowned the world's fastest woman, Berlin saluted another true phenomenon of the sport as Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele brilliantly won his fourth consecutive world 10,000m title.
