When Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak’s daughter, Nooryana Najwa engaged to Daniyar Nazarbayev, whose stepfather Bolat Nazarbayez is the brother to Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev; we thought Kazakhstan must have very few beautiful women. We’re of course not saying the Najib’s daughter was ugly but considering this part of the globe is normally gifted with beautiful babes, at least Daniyar would have no problem finding one in this own country.
To our surprise, we found out how wrong we were when Taiwanese sport fans were practically crazy chasing a volleyball player during the 17th Asian Women’s U19 Volleyball Championship in Taipei (16-24 July). It was an absolute mind-boggling sight as this volleyball player is not even a Taiwanese player, let alone a global superstar. She’s from Borat’s homeland Kazakhstan and people came not to see the game but the 18-year-old attractive Sabina Altynbekova.
Sabina’s team lost 2-3 in the semi-finals to India, but that was not the main attraction of her fans, as well as medias. In spite of rain and heavy winds caused by Typhoon Matmo, Taiwanese fans came in droves holding not Taiwan but Kazakhstan flag instead, apparently showing their support for the babe. Needless to say, her own team, coach and even Kazakhstan local media were mad because of the obsession on the beautiful Sabina Altynbekova.
But that doesn’t stop tens of thousands of fans from China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. So far, her Facebook has generated more than 54,000 “likes”. With her legs of at least 1.2-metre long, sweet-faced and Asian-look, it’s not difficult to understand why she steals tons of hearts from around this region. This “Kawaii” teenage who stands at 1.82-metre tall and weight 59-kg was born on Nov 5, 1996.
During an interview with a media, Sabina said she has no boyfriend yet – heck, what do you expect her to answer (*tongue-in-cheek*)? The Kazakhstan team finished the tournament in 7th place and as much as she’s disappointed with the results, she certainly has won the hearts of many people with her beauty. And you can bet your money that she would be in the center of the attention again the next time she wears her number-20 shirt on volleyball court.
Sure, volleyball is not about a single player so her coach Nurlan Sadikov has every reason to be mad. But so does the recent World Cup where Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Thomas Muller, Luis Suárez were in the center of attraction. Instead of scream till foam at mouth, Kazakhstan volleyball coach should give Sabina more exposure in future games. Sabina Altynbekova could be Kazakhstan’s version of Russian Anna Kournikova. Sabina could make tons of money if given the right guidance to flourish.
