    Too beautiful to play sports?

    Critics are saying Sabina Altynbekova, described by various media outlets as either 17 or 18 years old, is so attractive that it's a distraction to the sport. Even her teammates have noticed the adoration, and one report says Kazakhstan coach Nurlan Sadikov believed fans weren't even watching the games during a recent competition in Taiwan and instead just stared at her.



    "It is impossible to work like this," he told told Tengrin News. "The crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship."

    The Straits-Times reported that Taiwanese fans were holding Kazakhstan flags and arriving an hour early to follow her every move.

    Videos of Altynbekova abound on YouTube. One four-minute clip posted just last week is up over 550,000 views.


    The attention -- think Anna Kournikova minus the racket -- has even begun to get to Altynbekova. The Daily Mail reports she has asked admirers to stop setting up pages about her on social media sites.

    "I was flattered at first but it's all getting a little bit much," she said. "I want to concentrate on playing volleyball and to be famous for that, not anything else."

    According to Huffington Post, Altynbekova's mother was holding out hope Sabina would choose law school instead of a career in sports. She added that her daughter has been asked to model.

    "But she will not go there -- we as parents are against (it)," Nuripa Amrievna said.

    I feel sorry for her. I mean, she's attractive but the men and women who are obsessing over her are likely the sort of people that she probably wouldn't want to interact with in the first place. The world is a weird place, though - like with that criminal described as 'handsome' because of a flattering mugshot taken of him whilst he was being arrested.

    She's attractive but not enough to distract in my opinion. Maybe she's clumsy and keeps dropping things and has to bend over to pick them up.

    I do too. She only wants to be recognized for her sport talents and instead is being gawked at by fans because of her beauty.

    She should be able to do whatever she wants. She shouldn't be so humble about her looks though.. Words cannot describe it.

    Meh, arrogant people suck though. Humble is the way to go usually. Also she doesn't want to be admired for her looks :P

    Although personally I don't see why she would become problematic, I'm mean sure, I could see why people consider her attractive, but like isn't there anything better to do than waste time watching a game just to stare at a girl?

    It may cause hostility between her and her female teammates. Some might be jealous or resentful of all the attention she's getting for her looks. It sucks for her because she has no control over what she looks like, and shes being reduced to just a beautiful face when she wants to be known for being a great athlete. It must be frustrating as hell.

    What I don't get is why her coach and team are throwing such a fit over it. Is she a bad player? Who cares if she gets a lot of attention if you're winning games. At the end of the day, that's what matters. If the other girls are just jealous of her, well that's NOT HER FUCKING FAULT.

    She looks good for an asian girl, but that's about it IMO, don't see what's the big deal.

    She's definitely pretty, in a unique way. The main thing I noticed though, was that this is a "championship" game and the stands are 90% empty...

    Maybe Kazakhstani girls are usually really ugly?

    I know, you'd think people would be desensitized by small things like that.

    Or just have better things to do. Hey I enjoy a hot chick playing sports as much as anyone else, but still I've got the internet.
