Elena Vyalbe accused Elena Isinbayeva of betraying her homeland
The head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation, Elena Vyalbe, criticized two-time Olympic champion in pole vaulting Elena Isinbayeva, who called her military ranks nominal. RIA Novosti reports this.
“Guys, this can’t be done. First you cry on the president’s chest, and then you betray your homeland. We need to decide somehow, she is no longer a little girl,” Vyalbe noted.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov spoke about the situation with Isinbayeva. “I am not familiar with any facts when Isinbayeva would “sell her homeland.” I don’t know about them. Therefore, I cannot comment anything in this case,” he said.
On July 12, El Digital Sur reported that the former athlete lives in Tenerife. Also on her VKontakte page, the Russian woman wrote that her awards and military rank from the CSKA sports society are nominal. Isinbayeva also has the rank of major in the Russian Armed Forces.
