Decision on the future fate of the stele dedicated to the achievements of two-time Olympic pole vault champion E The decree of Isinbayeva and installed in her father's native village will be accepted by the municipal authorities, said the deputy of the People's Assembly of Dagestan and the initiator of the monument, Imran Avaev.
Isinbayeva on July 17, after a long absence from the public field, announced that she would continue to work in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from September. The former athlete, who has the rank of major, said, in particular, that the military ranks received while playing for CSKA are nominal. According to her, the IOC has «no doubts» about her.
