Isinbaeva takes a break from competitions

10 Apr 2010

Yelena Isinbaeva will take an indefinite break from competitions.

“I have been thinking over this very carefully the last three weeks and now come to the conclusion that a break from competing is absolutely necessary for me.

After more than eight years of very hard training and competing at the highest levels both indoors and outdoors each year I need to step back in order for my body to properly recover. It is my full intention to continue training and keep myself fit. At this moment I cannot exactly say when I will return to competitions. I have not completely ruled out the entire summer circuit or the European Championships in Barcelona.

Nothing has changed with my long term goals which includes the 2011 and 2013 World Championships and the Olympic Gold in London 2012.

I hope for everyone’s understanding and support. Thank you.”

Best regards
Yelena Isinbaeva
