Isinbaeva interview after Stockholm

Unread postby BruceFlorman » Fri Jul 28, 2006 2:12 am

Sheesh. I found the following article this morning (well, now I guess it was yesterday morning), but had actual work to do all day and a family commitment in the evening. And somebody needed a logo blown up during my lunch hour. ;)

So here I am, finally getting the full translation posted a little after 2:00 am. Under different circumstances I’d have waited a day, but the “freshness dateâ€Â

I would like to just say thank you for all of your translations and the late night that you had to make in order to post this. Rest easy, someone did read it. :)

Thanks.

OK the wind might have been horrid, but Pyrek did a great job of adjusting to it. Pyrek's jumps at 4.72 looked VERY close, while Isinbayeva looked all over the place.

That's pretty cool.

Well Pyrek is aways getting better. However, in fairness, I think that the fact that Yelena is learning a new technique is limitiing her ability to adapt to different conditions. Once she gets more comfortable with the technical model that she and Petrov are working on, she'll probably be able to adapt to varying conditions better.
