• MOSCOW (AP) -- A day after condemning homosexuality, Russian pole vault great Yelena Isinbayeva appeared to back off from her critical words Friday by saying her comments in English may have been "misunderstood."
• The two-time Olympic gold medalist supported Russia's new anti-gay law on Thursday and criticized two Swedish competitors for their rainbow-colored fingernails in support of gay rights.
