Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva enjoyed an easy victory at the Birmingham Grand Prix with a clearance at 4.82 metres on Saturday.

But the Olympic champion, who plans to skip next month's European Indoor Championships, failed to break the indoor world record of 5.00 metres she set last weekend in Ukraine.

Mo Farah proved his preparations were well on track for the the continental indoor championships by smashing his own British 3,000 metres indoor record.

The Somali-born 25-year-old raced to victory in seven minutes 34.47 seconds, six seconds faster than his previous mark.

Bahrain's Maryam Jamal, the outdoor 1,500 metres world champion, marked her first race of the season with an easy victory in the indoor event over the same distance. Britain's Olympic 400 champion Christine Ohuruogu won the 200.

Simeon Williamson won the men's 60 metres in a personal best time of 6.53 seconds and will almost certainly join fellow Briton Dwain Chambers at the March 6-8 European indoor championships in Turin, Italy.
