BERLIN (AFP) - World champion pole-vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and American 400 metres runner Sanya Richards will share a one million dollars jackpot after both registered their sixth consecutive Golden League wins of the season here on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Russian Isinbayeva cleared a height of 4.82 metres after compatriot Svetlana Feofanova failed at her third attempt.

And although the world champion failed at her three attempts to beat her own record of 5.01m, she was all smiles having dominated the field and was never really under pressure.

"I am incredibly happy, it was a great experience and I am also happy for Sanya," she said.

"I will give part of my money to inpoverished children in my home town and I am hoping to beat the world record in Stuttgart next week."

Just moments before Richards had destroyed the 400m field to win in 49.27secs, the fastest time this year, well ahead of Britain's world champion Christine Ohuruogu's time of 50.40s.

Having failed to win a 400m place at Osaka's World Championships last month after losing out in the US trial, Richards said the money would go some way to null her pain of missing her chance to take world gold.

"It helps a little bit," said Richards, only the third athlete to win more than one Golden League jackpot after last year's success.

"I am really, really happy to win. This time I will invest the money and not spend everything.

"I have had a tough year with the 400 so it is great to come out and have a winning streak at the end of the year.

"It feels great to have run such a fast time and I hope I can run 48 seconds in Stuttgart next weekend."

With no Tyson Gay in Berlin, American Wallace Spearmon, who was third in Osaka, comfortably took the 200m in a time of 20.22s with compatriot Rodney Martin second.

"I was supposed to run the 100m, but the meeting director told me I should run the 200 instead, it was a good idea," he said.

"I was tired and am disappointed about the time.

"I will compete at the World Athletics Finals in Stuttgart next weekend, but I don't think I will run after that, because I am so tired."

Norway's Jaysuma Saidy Ndure pulled off a shock to win the 100m in 10.14s ahead of Britain's Marlon Devonish and Rikki Fifton.

Former world 110m hurdles champion and record holder 36-year-old Allen Johnson showed he can still produce the goods with a win in 13.33s, which would not worry current record holder Chinese sprinter Xiang Liu's mark of 12.92.

"I feel great," he said, "the first time I raced here was about 14 years ago!"

World 400m champion Jeremy Wariner had no problems, winning by more than a second in a time of 44.05s from Canadian Chris Tyler.

In the women's 200m, former world champion American Lauryn Williams dominated by coming off the bend and holding her lead to win in a time of 22.95s.

Williams followed that up with second in the 100m behind compatriot Carmelita Jeter's winning time of 11.15s.

Blanka Vlasic, the women's high-jump record holder, found her rhythm when she claimed victory by clearing 2m and treated the crowd to a dance routine, but she failed at 2.06, just one centimetre short of her own record.

"I feel fantastic, I knew it would be hard to fly again like in Brussels," said the world champion.

"But I have great memories of this season and I am kind of sorry it is over now."

Sweden's Susanna Kallur ran a personal best to win the women's 100m hurdles in 12.49s from world champion Michelle Perry in the biggest shock of the day.

Earlier, Germany's Christina Obergfoll picked up the first medal of the day when she won the women's javelin with her fifth throw of 64.58m with the Czech Republic's Barbora Spotakova in second.

Finland's Tero Pitkamaki won the men's event with a throw of 88.58m.

In the women's 5,000m, Kenya's Vivian Cheruiyot claimed victory with a time of 14mins 50.78sec with Ethiopian Meselech Melkamu second and American Kara Goucher claiming third with a personal best.

With fellow Kenyan Faith Macharia acting like as a pace-maker, world champion Janeth Jepkosgei won the women's 800m in a time of 1min 58.62s from Spaniard Mayte Martinez.
