According to Khamzaev, this was an expected reaction to recent statements by the athlete herself. In response to Spanish media reports of his move to Spain and his ties to the Russian Armed Forces, Yelena Isinbayeva said her military ranks received while playing for CSKA were nominal and also called herself a “man of the world”. .
The MP notes that the Trud Stadium in Makhachkala is very popular among locals and is used for sports, especially by children. He also recalls that six years ago the stadium was named after Yelena Isinbayeva without a public hearing. Now, with the proposal to give residents the opportunity to determine a new name, the deputy fully supports the head of the region, considering this a correct and adequate reaction.
Khamzaev points out that although Isinbayeva is a well-known personality, one must take into account other distinguished athletes from the region, who have also made a great contribution to the development of the sport. He calls for an open and democratic process to determine a new name for the stadium and supports the decision of the head of the region to carry out this initiative.
