Russian champions of the London 2012 Olympics, Julia Zaripova, Elena Isinbaeva, and Eugeniya Kolodko, are in the Russia.Park

For those who don't know yet: for the best sports memories in my life, I owe to Elena Isinbayeva! Beijing, China, 2008, Olympic Games. Alone in the whole stadium. All other competitions are over. And over 50.000-70.000 people are watching her! Only and only her! About 2 mins left, she is under her blanket (you can't see that in this video, it's cut off), sitting, getting herself ready for the jump. Then she takes away her blanket, gets up, rubs her hands with chalk dust, takes her pole, starts talking to herself, and there you go: she runs, runs, runs, runs and jump! At such moments, life becomes a slow motion movie for you. You take a picture of every move the athlete does, for you can remember it for the rest of your life! Lena runs, sticks her pole to the ground, pushes, jumps, and gets over the bar! THAT'S IT! The World Record is beaten, the second Olympic Gold is in pocket! All the stadium - over 50.00 people are applauding for her, she takes her flag and runs the lap of honor! What a great memory! THANK YOU, LENA! Tonight I'll be cheering for you! Nail that 3rd Olympic Gold! You totally deserve it, baby! Love you! ♥ Вперед, Лена, вперееееед!!!
