Gadzhiev believes that this decision is justified, because in Russia there are more worthy and morally faithful athletes who could be immortalized at the stadium. Gadzhiev agrees with the opinion of the head of the Republic of Dagestan and believes that if an athlete chooses to live in Spain, let him call the stadium or the street after him.
However, Hajiyev expressed his disagreement with such an act by the athletes. He believes that if a person renounces his homeland, it can be called treason. He urges Lena Isinbayeva to live where it suits her, but not to divulge negative statements about the country that nurtured her.
It should be noted that the stadium named after Elena Isinbayeva is located in Makhachkala.
