Post a CommentI find it hard to admire Isinbayeva. Her attitude is not very sporting of the Olympic spirit. She rubs victory in the face of the countries she competes against. Yes, she is good, but her attitude is poor marking her as someone I would not hold as a shinning example of a true olympic hero. A true Olympic hero displays humility and good sportsman ship as well as skill. Skill she may have. Everything else she does not. If anything she displayed only a very high and mighty attitude. That she is better than anyone. Maybe at jumping but at holding a good attitude, sportmanship and a good personality, she failed earning an all around -0.0. Olympic "stars" like these usually fade fast. No one likes being around a person with the attitude that boosts "I'm too good for everyone."
*golf clap* Well done Isinbayeva
