Steadfast deviation

The International Athletics Federation finally rejected the application of a two-time Olympic champion for jumping with the sixth Elena Isinbaeva to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The athlete wrote about this on her Instagram.

“I received a negative answer from the IAAF secretary,” Isinbaeva wrote. “Unfortunately, they did not make an exception, a miracle did not happen, I was not allowed to the Olympiad. Thank you very much for support. It’s not fate to act in Rio.”

The athlete also denies that she did not submit an individual application for admission to the games in IAAF. On Thursday, representatives of the Association announced that no requests were received from the Russian woman.

On Thursday evening, the Russian Olympic team on Thursday flew out in Rio de Janeiro a charter flight from Sheremetyevo Airport. In total, the delegation has about 70 people, it presents the male and women's volleyball teams, the women's handball team, boxing teams, as well as synchronized swimming and table tennis.

At the moment, the final composition of the Russian team has not yet been approved. According to the president of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, the final list of athletes who will perform at the Games will become known on July 30 or 31.

Of the Russian athletes at the Olympics, only the jump in the length of Daria Kishina, who lives and trains abroad, will perform.

On July 21, the sports arbitration court in Lausanne rejected the lawsuit of the Olympic Committee of Russia. CAS Secretary General Mathieu Rib said that the OCR could not declare athletes at the 2016 Olympics . "An appeal is possible through the Swiss Federal Court in Lausanne within 30 days," Rib said. Nevertheless, according to him, the IOC did not participate in the process and will decide on the admission of the Russian national team to the games independently.

On Sunday, the IOC gave a decision on the admission of a Russian athlete for competitions in Rio de Janeiro to the regional entity for international federations for the appropriate sport . The lack of positive national anti -doping testing will not be considered sufficient. All members of the Russian Olympic team must undergo an additional anti -doping audit.

The athletes ever convicted of doping will not be allowed to the games, even if the sanctions have already been removed from them. In addition, in Rio de Janeiro, athletes mentioned in the WADA report will not go.

At the same time, the Russian team as a whole is not disqualified. The athletes admitted to the games will play under the Russian flag.
