Who is selected as the 2008 woman athlete of the year by the international media?

Yelena Isinbayeva, the Russian pole vaulter, was named the 2008 Female Athlete of the Year after winning Olympic gold in Beijing and setting multiple world records that year. She dominated pole vaulting for over a decade and was widely recognized as the greatest female pole vaulter in history. This question appears to be from around 2008-2009.
