Monte Carlo – Continuing its recent website developments and as part of its lead-in to the 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, the IAAF will introduce a new interactive tool with two Athletes’ Live Chats on Wednesday 5 March. These on-line chats will give athletics fans the unique chance to submit their questions directly to stars of our sport.

World record holder and defending Pole Vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva will be the first athlete to take part in this project and will be available to answer fans’ questions from all over the world on 5 March from 3 to 3.30pm (CET).

The two-time World Athlete of the Year who recently raised her own Indoor standard to 4.95m is expected to be one of the protagonists at the upcoming World Indoor Championships and it will be interesting to chat with her a mere 48 hours before her event takes place.

A second live chat will take place from 6 to 6.30pm the same day with former World Junior Long Jump champion and local favourite Concha Montaner who also won silver at last year’s European Indoor Championships.
