World champion in 1993, winner of the silver medal of the 1992 Olympic Games in the 4 × 100 m relay, sports commentator Olga Bogoslovskaya stood up for two-time Olympic champion in pole vault Elena Isinbayeva.
Earlier, Isinbayeva reacted to media reports about her move to Spain and ties with the Russian Armed Forces. The famous athlete in the past announced that in September 2023 she would resume work in the Commission of Athletes of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), since the organization found no reason to remove her from her duties, noting that during her sports career she had never been in the Russian Armed Forces, and called the rank of major, which she was awarded for her performance in CSKA, called “nominal”.
“Elena’s main business is to play sports, and she did it flawlessly. 28 world records – this is an indicator that the work that Isinbayeva was doing, she did so well that she became an athlete that absolutely everyone knows, despite the fact that she ended her sports career. Everything else is really a witch hunt. If a person does his job well, it says a lot. And then – yes, he doesn’t understand something, he doesn’t understand something very well. If Elena was a politician, not an athlete, and her main activity was to engage in a political career, then other requirements would be imposed on her. Isinbayeva is subject to those requirements that she cannot meet due to the fact that she studied other things.
And those people who call her a traitor are people who lie on the couch and have not achieved anything in their lives. They should look at how Isinbayeva has brought joy to the country for a long time. I remember 2013, the first World Cup in our country. She had injuries, but she could not miss the home championship. How many times did Elena say after the victory: “I didn’t know if I was ready to win or not, but I knew that I would tear all my muscles to pieces in front of the public, but people would know that I did everything in my country to please them at the home world championship. Elena did it, although she was not ready – this is an indicator.
You can’t cross out everything, any merits, clinging to some words or formulations, ”said Bogoslovskaya, whose words are quoted by the online publication“BUSINESS Online».
