Down-the-line.com/Athletics. Athletics coach Anna Gviniashvili shared her attitude to the resounding statements of two-time Olympic pole vault champion Elena Isinbayeva.
Earlier, in response to Spanish media reports about her move to Spain and her ties to the Russian Armed Forces, the athlete said that from September 2023 she would start working again in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes’ Commission. She noted that the IOC found no grounds for her dismissal and pointed out that she had never been in the Russian armed forces. She also described as “nominal” the rank of major awarded to her for her performances for CSKA.
Anna Gviniashvili spoke about the situation in an interview with Sport24: “If she trained in Spain like an ordinary girl, it is not a fact that she would become Yelena Isinbayeva. We often hire the athletes ourselves, although they depend on state support and receive large scholarships. apartment provided by her homeland. And in the end, if she wants to stay at the IOC, it’s her decision.” Personally, I have always been against the stadium being named after Yelena Isinbayeva. I don’t see what she has done for Dagestan.”
- Zhurova: “Maybe Isinbayeva has confirmed that she is not Russian, that she does not like Russia and refuses it”
