Isinbaeva had to jump at the Russian championship with poles Feofanova

During the Russian Athletics Championship, which takes place at the Moscow Luzhniki stadium, "Elena Isinbaeva had to ask Svetlana Feofanova to overcome the qualification standard (4.10).

The multiple record holder of the world in general forgot how to overcome such lines: she did not even have the right inventory for such a standard. After the first unsuccessful attempt, Lena asked the pole softer from a longtime friend in the national team and overcame the height the second time.

“I found out that there would be qualifications just two hours before it began. We thought that final competitions would be held right away, so we arrived only on Sunday in the evening.

I had only long and hard poles with me. To jump on them 4.10 with a short run - I would not dare. Therefore, she jumped on other people's poles. The Sveta Feofanova gave mine to me. Thank you so much for that. It's a shame that qualifications did not develop for her herself.

Imagine, if I had not been accidentally at the stadium, I could skip qualifications. Nightmare. Everyone would say that Isinbaeva refused to go out to qualify, but, thank God that everything worked out, ”gives the words of multiple record holder of the world of Rusathletics .

Most likely, today, in the final of the competition, Isinbaev will begin performance from a height of 4.70 m.
