 She is young, energetic and popular. She is
successful in different spheres. She knows the taste of excellent victories, though she had suffered frustrations as
well. She is surprising us with her freedom, the absence of
internal constraints, and irony about herself. And she is sure that
happiness is
within herself.
Alina Kabayeva has been at the center of public
attention for such a long time, that we
reluctantly want to look at her passport. We
do look and become astonished. May 12 she had celebrated her 25 birthday, while feel that all
the recent decade she does not stop smiling from the TV and
newspapers. Together we rejoiced her highest awards and worried
about doping scandals, looked at Alina in new and unexpected roles.
Alina had a lot of free time because of
disqualification. Her sports trainings make it impossible to sit idle and her
character requires pushing out the boiling energy and constant
self-realization. Kabayeva tries herself as TV-star
on the «7 TV» channel. The program is connected with sports. In
addition, she managed to sparkle as a movie star nowhere else but in Japan. Alina
was invited to play in the feature film «The red shadow». It is
difficult to say what attracted the celebrity: actor's laurels or the
possibility of filming in the country of the Rising Sun. Since 1994 Kabaeva fall
in love for this country, its culture and traditions. It was her first foreign
trip, where she participated in a demonstration program. Therefore the experiences
of the younger age are the brightest and most memorable.
Filmmaking with Kabayeva continued in Russia. Alina
plays herself in the «Igra slov»'s
clip. The song «Alina» turned to be very good and maybe it is the best
composition of the team. The main personage is also irreproachable.
In 2006 Alina gains the public recognition. She receives
nationwide prize «Woman of the Year by GLAMOUR» as the result of the readers voting;
she is considered the sexiest sportswoman in the nomination of «Top 10 Sexy». In
addition, she had made the naked pictures for a magazine «MAXIM» and in a well-known
Catherine Rojdesvenskaya's «Calendar».
After that, Kabayeva appeared on a red track of
international Sports Award «Laureus», which was held in St.
Petersburg, and she was named dazzling, delightful and gained other
superlative adjectives. On this background even her presence
at the 225-year anniversary of the Mariinsky Theater was forgotten.
Alina followed
the way of many famous athletes. Reigning in the hearts and minds of artistic gymnastics fans, she does not mind to win sympathy for fashion duties. Moreover, she had
succeeded in it. But Kabayeva turned out to prefer political popularity. After the
Duma elections in December 2007, she became a deputy in the list of «United
Russia» and currently she is the deputy of the State Duma's chairman of the Youth Department.
This may seem to be a quite non-standard behavior
for young gymnast with a non-complete career. But it is quite understandable,
as everyone is happy in this situation. The
government party received a bright sportsman beloved by the electorate. Alina
approves the already strong status, becoming a political
girl and tries to increase the quantity of fans at a new and interesting capacity,
noisy deputy brethren, that's rich for originals will
enjoy the Kabayeva's beauty and charm, as well as looking at her fraction colleagues Horkina
and Zhurova. We can only worry about legislative process that can be diverted.
The last loud story involving Kabaeva as a
politician occurred on April 12. The newspaper «Moscow correspondent» published an article
that described Kabayeva is allegedly wedding with the Russian President Putin,
and even included the date of wedding 15 June 2008. We cannot perceive
it without irony, but it is important that Alina was figured as a «bride».
This is the popularity specifics of beautiful
athlete, actress, model, TV and politics star named Alina Kabayeva.
