    I thought her name was Yelena Isinbayeva. And I didn't know she was still pole vaulting I thought she retired. Love her though she's incredible to watch. Aliya reminds me of her and they have a lot in common too.

"Dear friends! I want to apologize for my statements about American girls, about drugs, all my words were spoken on emotions. Of course I haven't any proof and didn't really mean it and so on... I am so sorry. I want to apologize for my character to all of you". Vika, we are still with you every step of the way.
