In general, we strive to use the names the ath- letes actually want, which may well not agree with those given on entry forms and/or passports. So I am now showing Yelena Isinbaeva as that is what she has told us, and is as shown on her website. With Belorussian and Ukrainian names we have used generally Russian transliterations. Therefore we show Andrey Kravchenko, not Andrei Krauchanka, and Sergey Bubka rather than Serhiy Bubka etc. City Names In keeping with ATFS policy, native spelling is used for the names of cities given in lists in this book. In text, the English (or French) version of the name is used. 8 ISTANBUL 2012 ★ NOTES ON CONTENTS/TECHNICAL Technical Data (from IAAF Competition Rules 2012-2013) Event Men Women Straight Lane width
