The head of Dagestan announced the decision to remove the name of Isinbayeva from the name of the stadium in Makhachkala
In Dagestan, the stadium named after the two-time Olympic champion in pole vaulting Elena Isinbayeva will be renamed. This was announced in his “target=”_blank”>Telegram channel by the head of the republic Sergey Melikov.
He stated that the athlete never connected her past and future with Dagestan. According to Melikov, Isinbayeva’s latest statements, “made from behind the cordon,” are a reason to rename the stadium.
According to him, there are many worthy athletes and true patriots in the republic, whose name the stadium can bear. Melikov also suggested that the inhabitants of the republic would want to return the object to its former name – “Trud”. “And in honor of Elena Isinbayeva, let them name some gym in Spain, which she preferred to Russia,” he added.
Earlier, information appeared in the media that Isinbayeva had moved to Spain. According to journalists, the athlete lives in Tenerife.
On Monday, July 17, the Olympic champion announced that she was resuming work at the International Olympic Committee from September this year. She also added that she had never served in the Russian Armed Forces and was not a State Duma deputy or a member of any party.
