On 24 July, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided not to suspend the Russian team from participation in the Olympics, but to travel to the competition are only those athletes, whose candidacy was endorsed by international Federation for sports.
Unfortunately, the disqualification of our athletes remained in force. Two-time Olympic champion in pole vaults Elena Isinbayeva still can’t accept the fact that she had to bury her dream.

For Elena this Olympics was to be the last. The athlete wanted to finish his career, having won for the country another gold medal. After the birth of her daughter Isinbayeva continued to train and became the first in the championship of Russia. However, dreams of the Olympics were in vain.

After the IOC decided to disqualify Russian athletes from the games, the Olympic Committee of Russia filed a lawsuit to protect our athletes in Sports arbitration court (CAS), but he rejected it. Despite this, Isinbayeva decided not to give up: the athlete with the world champion 2015 in the women’s 110 meters hurdles Sergey Shubenkov filed a lawsuit in the Federal court of Switzerland to abolish the decision of the CAS, reports Kommersant.
Unfortunately, the Swiss Federal court in Lausanne rejected the appeal of our athletes. “We refused the application for interim measures in the form of a suspension of CAS decision dated 21 July, in the case of the ROC, and athletes against the IAAF. We are asked to suspend the decision of the CAS before they will post motivation, but we refused”, — said Sergei in an interview with the Agency “R-Sport”. According to the athlete, it was his last chance to qualify for the Olympics.
