Athletistic/ Others. Recently it became known that in Dagestan the stadium was renamed, which bore the name of the Olympic champion in athletics Elena Isinbayeva. Now it is called “Work”. Dmitry Svishchev, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, spoke about this.

– Dagestan stadium got its historical name. The people and the republic have decided to rename this arena, so that they know better. I think there is nothing terrible here for Isinbayeva herself, who has been living abroad for a long time. She is unlikely to plan to visit the stadium in the near future. And you have to count how many times she was there. When Elena was a star, she represented Russia and supported it – that’s a situation. And now the well-deserved and well-known athlete has practically denied everything about Russia. It would be strange if the stadium continued to bear his name. There is no tragedy, everything fell into place,” Svishchev said in an interview with SE.
