Kazakhstan's volleyballer becomes new Internet sensation
After a few performances during a youth tournament in Taipei last week, the young and attractive sportswoman has pocketed more than 200,000 subscribers in her Instagram account.
The 17-year-old dollface has apparently been receiving so much public and media attention due to her appearance that strongly resembles a beautiful, characteristic leggy and wide-eyed anime character, Xinhua reports.
However, Sabina's coach Nurlan Sadikov says that all of this media frenzy might endanger their original sport goals as other members of the female team feel neglected since it has been clear that a pretty No. 20 has been the center of the spotlight all along.
Meanwhile Sabina-obsession seems to carry on with tons of fans sending young athlete drawings, anime illustrations and other mementos featuring herself as well as writing her flattering comments and personal messages.
Nevertheless, despite her young age Sabina seems like a sensible and down-to-earth lady who says: "I want to concentrate on playing volleyball and to be famous for that, not anything else."
