Down-the-line.com/Athletics. Commentator Dmitry Guberniev reacted to the statement of Elena Isinbayeva, two-time Olympic pole vault champion. Earlier, Isinbayeva posted a message on a social network, where she said that all her military ranks received while playing for CSKA are nominal, and therefore she will resume her activities in the IOC in September, because she is not not subject to penalties.
Guberniev commented on this statement with doubts, demanding to clarify what she meant by “nominally”. He asked if Isinbayeva was a nominal officer, if she received nominal salary and benefits, or if it was all just a formality.
The commentator also expressed interest in the opinion of the military unit she represented. If Isinbayeva acts in the IOC not nominally, but as a true representative of the Russian Federation, then her return to work will be considered useful. However, if it remains nominal, it raises more questions and uncertainties.
