Russian Pole Vaulter Isinbaeva Expects Final Decision After IAAF Olympic Ban
Russian athlete, a two-time Olympic champion and three-time world gold winner, Yelena Isinbaeva said that she did not receive a reply from IAAF to request to give a clear answer whether Yelena Isinbaeva is eligible to go to the Olympic Games.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia’s star pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva said Thursday she expects the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to give their final decision on her ban by the end of the day.
Isinbaeva, a two-time Olympic champion and three-time world gold winner, has been banned from next month’s Rio Olympics alongside other Russian athletes over doping allegations.
"I have not received a reply from IAAF to my request to give me a clear answer whether Yelena Isinbaeva is eligible to go to the Olympic Games. As far as I know the deadline is today," the athlete told reporters in Moscow.
Earlier this month, the IAAF announced it had banned all Russian athletes from taking part in international competitions, including the upcoming Olympics in Brazil. It made an exception for long jumper Darya Klishina, who trains in the United States.
