The Olympics medal hope cleared 4.82m on her first attempt at the Sydney Track Classic, adding 7cm to her personal best

The 23-year-old powered over the bar at 4.82m at her first attempt on Saturday, adding 7cm to her personal best and consigning the five-year-old mark of 4.81m set by the now-retired Boyd to the history books.
