Down-the-line.com/Athletics. Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Elena Isinbayeva has reacted to the decision by the International Association of Athletics Federations (World Athletics) not to include her in the ranking of the most influential athletes in the history of the World’s Championships.
“Allow me to remind the newly elected President of World Athletics of the significant impact that Yelena Isinbayeva has had on the development of athletics over the past twenty years, including winning the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 with a new world record of 5.01 meters. “My name on this list only underscores the attempts of international athletics bodies to downplay the history that was created long before they began to govern. It only confirms the greatness, importance and l ‘immortality of my achievements,” Isinbayeva shared on her social media profile.
