Vaulters land on the rocks
July 27, 2004


POLE-VAULT pin-up Tatiana Grigorieva has revealed a secret love split days after her Olympic dream was shattered.

The 28-year-old silver medallist failed to qualify for the Olympic team.

Now it has emerged she has split from her husband, fellow pole vaulter Viktor Chistiakov.

Tough training schedules, which have often left them on different continents, are blamed.

Tatiana said: "There's been a lot of things going on in the past few months outside of sport that have taken my focus from where I need to be."

My vote goes to Russ and Dana . . .

I said international, not America's

[vaultmd]

Dana is Canadian, and last time I looked the current administration had not invaded Canada yet.

[Scott Go Pre]

My, bad. I completely forgot that Dana was Canadian.

[vaultmom]

THat is too bad. I have met both of them in Australia, they both are fabulous people, great talents.

At least I get to go!

[russvault]

canadian OOPS!

[russvault]

That's a shame, because I hung out with Victor a lot in europe and he use to always brag about how he had the perfect Wife. Im sure he is more heart broken than she is.

I vote Carly Dockendorf and Brad Walker as the second cutest international pole vaulting couple

I'm sure that they will will work things out.
