    I'm sending you somw hints about Alina.

    Kabaeva was born in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, Soviet Union[1] and started rhythmic gymnastics there in 1987 at an age of 4. Her first coach was A. Malkina. Her father was a professional football (soccer) player and the family was constantly following him to different places in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. At first, many coaches did not like Alina because they considered her "too heavy" and "ugly" to be a rhythmic gymnast, none of them seemed to consider her a gymnast of any particular talent. In her young teens she moved to Russia, where her mother took her to the Russian head coach Irina Viner, who liked her from the start.

    "I could not believe my eyes, when I first saw her. The girl has the rare combination of two qualities crucial in Rhythmic Gymnastics – flexibility and agility."

    After retirement
    Since 2005 Kabaeva has been a member of the Public Chamber of Russia.

    She also appeared briefly in the 2001 Japanese movie Red Shadow, performing her gymnastic routine.
    A small Russian rap group called Igra Slov made a song and music video featuring her
    Since 2007, Kabaeva has been a member of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, representing the pro-Kremlin United Russia party.

    A beautibul and smart woman, I think.

    KEEPLIGHTBRIGHT!
