Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that he is not aware of any actions by two-time Olympic champion in pole vaulting Elena Isinbayeva, which could be considered a betrayal of the motherland. This is how he commented on the statement of the head of the Russian Ski Federation Elena Vyalbe regarding the athlete. Mrs. Vyalbe said that “first you cry on the president’s chest, and then you betray your homeland.”
“I would not comment here, because 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,” Mr. Peskov said during a press call.
On September 5, it became known that Elena Isinbayeva retained her position in the Athletes’ Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In June, her work within the IOC was suspended due to a check initiated by the ethics commission on the athlete for her involvement in the RF Armed Forces. After that, she declared that she was a “person of peace” and the titles assigned to her “are nominal.” Last week the media noticed to the fact that Elena Isinbayeva removed from her Instagram (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) a joint photo with President Vladimir Putin, taken in 2017.
