Two-time Olympic champion in biathlon, Colonel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Svetlana Ishmuratova appreciated the statement of two-time Olympic champion in pole vaulting Elena Isinbayeva, who called her military ranks nominal. It is reported by “Match TV”.
The biathlete called the athlete a dual nature. “Since 2015, Elena has been with CSKA. Signed a contract. In 2018, when civil servants were banned from owning real estate abroad, she was asked to remove her shoulder straps and move to a civilian position. All this time I regularly received a salary, ”Ishmuratova said.
The athlete added that Isinbayeva’s act casts a shadow on other athletes. “I don’t want to be lumped together because of Elena Isinbayeva. And I would like to wish that they take a closer look at the people who will represent our country in various organizations,” Ishmuratova said.
On July 17, the Olympic champion announced that she was resuming work at the International Olympic Committee from September. 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. Before that, El Digital Sur reported that Isinbayeva had moved to Spain. According to journalists, the athlete lives in Tenerife.
