“From all I have are just waiting for victory, but it's very hard. I want to take time out to rest a year. … I'm just very tired, especially mentally. I need to rest, enough already to disgrace and all excuses to why I did not win another gold “- Yelena Isinbayeva.

Hard to say what is more important for female athletes – her pole or towel. In any case, always before the first approach, it resorts to the second. With his head wrapped in a cloth, Elena for a long time is set to jump. Maybe just drives away unwanted thoughts, plans can detail their actions, can read the prayer, or maybe just mentally trying to persuade his good fortune and a long stick not to fail again. Protected from prying eyes, she is left alone with him for a while. And then – run, jump, rise and triumphant … parry downwards, where the soft mat first accepts the consequences of elation!

“She was never stingy with emotions”

And rejoice his victories Isibaeva can! She was never stingy with emotions. And they never ebbed, despite the serial number of the account is re-conquered the tournament. Elena lives always match. Each performance of its time to accommodate a tense face and concentrated before the start, yielding enormous strain athletes, and proud to throw up their hands after landing, and an irrepressible smile and glee in his eyes, when it becomes clear that it is unattainable. And for some time now – the tears …

Summer at the World Championships in Berlin for the first time Helen was left without a medal. It looks like it was for her stroke. As if her best friend betrayed. After all, she did everything like before – and covered with a towel and ran and jumped as soon as she can. But a stubborn plank not obeyed. How so? What was wrong? Unusually … tears washed away puzzled soul digested failed, cleared, and gave the signal to reason that this is not upset. All wrong. And just where is deep-deeply embedded splinter – and suddenly it all again, what then?

And again. Now in the winter world championships in Doha. Isinbayeva has analyzed their past mistakes, tried to avoid them, leaving their last record ambitions, but the bar is still not obeyed. Even at the height which had bent under no problems. Symptoms recur. It became clear that earlier was not an accident, but the beginning of a protracted illness. Is this “divorce” with her lover, with his sixth? This is treason! And as a girl, doomed to separation, failed the last attempt to return location dear person and cry all the tears after the failure, Elena could not even respond to what is happening properly. It was not found. No emotion. No sorrow, no tears, no wailing. One indifference. She lost …

“But the man – still not a machine”

And decided to take time out for a year. To find new incentives to win. And do it quickly and easily simply athlete with her jewels. After all, her career was all so many times. It is twice world champion, double Olympic champion and 27 time established a world record! What more could you want? During that fight? That prove? Up to a point, Elena fueled the fight against high. She was already bored to start with those marks, which begins with the others. She knew that she would take them, and she was not interested. And blood began to boil only when approaching the height of the new record. And Isinbayeva won again and again … itself, with gusto and enthusiasm. And we admired Bezons capabilities of the human body.

But the man – still not a machine. Berlin, the hour has come, and Helen is realized. She first realized that he could not jump “to the sun,” as if she did not want to. Even it has a limit. But why, then, compete? What, then, to? Issues that have begun to visit her head.

To win

probably told her coach. Just win. Because to be great and do not necessarily jump higher and higher. Just always jump above all. Then you will be great and undefeated.

“and decided to take time out for a year”

Worked. And Helen went to Doha just to win. And then, perhaps, once again challenge the top. But there it waited for another revelation. When you sorevnueshsya all on equal terms, when you have the same incentive as the rest, every attempt to take your for you is quite different than just passing, value. And even a small height can cause the arm waver at the last minute. It all depends on the bet that you did before you leap … and certainly the best of the best uviela world from a new angle. And could not immediately understand it, once again finding themselves out of business.

Therefore, it may be, the decision to take time out really fair. Isinbayeva need to learn to fight for victory with the ordinary people, not geniuses, jumping from nature. Fight by their rules, valuing even the smallest, nemaksimalistskie, achievements. Tune in every jump, and not to ultimate victory. And Helen must find themselves in this struggle. Find something that will give her the same joy with each jump, and that a new world record. And then everything will work out. There is no doubt. Early return, the champion!
