LA ERA ISINBAYEVA Historia de 28 récords mundiales Por: Ángel Cruz Edición y Diseño by @deporcuba Email: [email protected] PRÓLOGO Por: Lilian Cid Escalona (@lizz19861) A los 15 años, la vida suele a dar muchas vueltas; por ello, ni siquiera Natalia Petrovna logró intuir que su primogénita, nacida el tres de junio de 1982 en la heroica ciudad rusa de Volgogrado, estaba destinada a ser alguien especial para el mundo. Lo recalco porque para las madres, los hijos son siempre especiales… Pero Yelena, al parecer, sabía que con esfuerzo podría llegar a cumplir aquella promesa: “Voy a ser la mejor del mundo y campeona olímpica”, le había dicho a su madre en una tarde de juegos en casa, años atrás. Su palabra, desde luego, peligró cuando con 15 años se quedó sin el sueño gimnástico por ser demasiado alta (1.74 metros). Entonces, Alexandr Lisovói (su instructor de gimnasia) tuvo la claridad de presentarle la chica a su amigo y entrenador de salto con pértiga, Evgeny Trofimov. Allí le hablaron por primera vez sobre Bubka, y contestó: “¿Y esa quién es?”… Pero de la mano de Trofimov, la talentosa discípula encontró en la “vara” una amiga y utilizó cada una de las bondades heredadas de sus 10 años inmersa en acrobacias gimnásticas para dominar su cuerpo en el aire, y volar. Seis meses después de aquel encuentro, la primogénita de Natalia y Gadzhi Gadzhiyevich Isinbayev, ganó su primer título en Moscú en los Juegos Internacionales Juveniles de 1998. Desde ese día, el éxito se convirtió en su palabra de orden y “Lena” resonó en el mundo mientras el salto con pértiga florecía gracias a su empeño.

Anna | Rogowska Anna Rogowska
Anna | Rogowska www.anna-rogowska.com Anna Rogowska Data urodzenia 21.05.1981 Konkurencja skok o tyczce Biografia Anna Rogowska, znakomita polska tyczkarka, rozpoczęła swoją przygodę z lekką atletyką w wieku 14 lat. Od 1999 r. uprawia skok o tyczce. Zawodniczka reprezentuje na co dzień klub SKLA Sopot. Do światowej czołówki Anna Rogowska dołączyła na igrzyskach Ateny 2004, kiedy dzięki wynikowi 4,70 m stanęła na olimpijskiego podium. W tym samym roku zdobyła też Złote Kolce - nagrodę dla najlepszej polskiej lekkoatletki. Wielokrotnie ustanawiała rekord Polski w skoku o tyczce (w hali i na otwartym stadionie), m.in. skacząc 4,75 m podczas halowych mistrzostw Europy w Madrycie w 2005 r., a kilka miesięcy później uzyskując 4,77 m podczas konkursu "Tyczka na molo". Cały 2005 rok przebiegał pod znakiem kolejnych rekordów Anny - podczas mityngu Super Grand Prix IAAF w Londynie pokonała poprzeczkę na wysokości 4,80 m, a na zawodach w Beckum skoczyła 4,82 m. Do Rogowskiej należy zarówno rekord Polski na otwartym stadionie – 4,83 m (ustanowiony 26 sierpnia 2005 r. na mityngu Złotej Ligi w Brukseli), jak i halowy rekord Polski - 4,80 m (wynik uzyskany 5 marca 2006 r. na zawodach w Lievin we Francji). Anna Rogowska zdobyła też srebro w Halowych Mistrzostwach Europy 2005 w Madrycie (4,75 m), a dwa lata później została wicemistrzynią świata (HMŚ w Moskwie). W 2007 r. wywalczyła brązowy medal Halowych Mistrzostw Europy w Birmingham. Obecnie tyczkarka przygotowuje się do Igrzysk Olimpijskich 2008 pod opieką swojego trenera i męża Jacka Torlińskiego. Rekordy życiowe Anny Rogowskiej: hala - 4,80 m (Lievin, 5.3.2006), stadion - 4,83 m (Bruksela, 26.8.2005).

OLYMPIC GAMES ATHENS August 13 - 29, 2004
Y.E.A.H. - Young Europeans Active and Healthy OLYMPIC GAMES ATHENS August 13 - 29, 2004 BACK HOME... eliminated in prior rounds of voting. Six other cities submitted applications, but their bids were dropped by the IOC in 1996. These cities were Istanbul, Lille, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, The 2004 Summer Olympic Seville, Saint Petersburg and Cali. Games (Greek: Therinoí Olympiakoí Agónes 2004 ), officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004, were held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, some 600 more than expected, accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries. There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports. Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance. 2004 also marked the return of the games to the city where they began. Having previously hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1896, Athens became one of only a handful of cities to have hosted the Summer Games twice or more (together with London, Paris, and Los Angeles). The 2004 Summer Games were hailed as "unforgettable, dream games" by IOC President Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. The cost of the 2004 Athens Summer Games has been cited as a contributor to the Greek government-debt crisis. Some of the venues lie vacant and rotting, while others are in use; the ones at the Olympic Park and others in the coastal area are in regular use.
