Jumper Feofanova said that Elena Isinbayeva dealt a blow to her image
Russian world pole vault champion Svetlana Feofanova appreciated the words of two-time Olympic champion Elena Isinbayeva, who called her military ranks nominal. She is quoted by Sports.ru.
“Lena has bad advisers. In the current situation, to issue such a post, also in Spanish … This could have been done more competently, ”said the former athlete. She considered that Isinbayeva dealt a crushing blow to her image, noting that she does not connect her future life with Russia.
On July 12, El Digital Sur reported that the former athlete lives in Tenerife. Later, on her VKontakte page, Isinbayeva wrote that her awards and military rank from the CSKA sports society were nominal.
The statements of the athlete caused a public outcry. Russian Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin criticized the athlete, and the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, said that the stadium named after her would be renamed in Makhachkala.
