 Before Stacy Dragila, pole vaulting for women was considered something of a joke. Three years ago her sport was so unrecognised, that the prospective world champion was working as a waitress. But at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, she became the first woman ever to win a gold medal in pole-vaulting.
She talks to Jenni about her meteoric rise to the Olympic gold and the accolade of being named the Female Athlete of the Year by the International Athletics Foundation.
