Down-the-line.com/Athletics. The stadium, previously named after Olympic champion Elena Isinbayeva, was renamed to the Republic of Dagestan. The new arena name will be “Labor”, as before. The decision to rename was signed on August 18 in the region’s government.

“The State Budgetary Institution of the Republic of Dagestan “Stadium named after Olympic champion Elena Isinbayeva” was renamed the State Budgetary Institution of the Republic of Dagestan “Stadium” Trud”. The Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Republic of Dagestan was instructed to implement the necessary measures to implement this decision,” the document reads.

Recall that in early July, the head of Dagestan expressed a desire to change the name of the stadium, named after Elena Isinbayeva, to Makhachkala.

Yelena Isinbayeva, now 41, is a two-time Olympic champion, three-time world champion and European pole vault champion. In an interview for Spanish media, she said the military ranks she received during her performances for CSKA were symbolic. These words served as the basis for changing the name of the stadium.
