Olympic champion Elena Isinbayeva is experiencing a hard blow. Russian athletes are not allowed to the Olympic Games in Rio due to a doping scandal. For the 34-year-old athlete, the 2016 Olympics would most likely be the last in her career. And now Elena does not hide her disappointment and frustration.

“There was, but hope faded … - wrote the star on Instagram. “Let all these pseudo-pure foreign athletes breathe a sigh of relief and win their pseudo-gold medals in our absence. Force has always been feared."

During a special conference on the Vkontakte social network, Elena clarified that she continues training and is waiting for the decision of the International Olympic Committee. “I continue training until the decision of the IOC on 24 July. In case of refusal to admit Russian athletes to the Olympics, I no longer see any reason to continue training. Many people say that I look so good that I can go to another Olympic cycle. But no, I am already 34 years old, and I will choose a family,”Isinbayeva said.

According to the athlete, the situation with the removal of Russian athletes is outrageous. In fact, the athletes were completely unprotected. “They are knocking us down, but we cannot answer in any way. I can't help but speak, because silence is a sign of agreement

I, and I do not agree with all this. This is all very humiliating and embarrassing. We are the stars of world athletics, and the contribution that I made to the development of pole vaulting does not mean anything now. It's a shame,”Elena said.
