Our answer is quite clearly no, which is why we have hired an actor to take on this role.</span></span> </blockquote>

Somewhat, volleyball fans who watched the 17th Asian Women's U-19 Volleyball Championship in Taipei would have an idea of her. People all over the internet would say that she is a "player on fire" for the Kazakhstan volleyball team but it gives out the reason that it was her "looks" and not her playing skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Critics say Sabina Altynbekova, 17, is so beautiful that it's a distraction to the sport. Even the athlete's own coach says his team is increasingly about one player, at least as far as the fans are concerned.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"It is impossible to work like this, the crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship." -<b> Nurlan Sadikov, Kazakhstan Women's U19 volleyball team coach.</b></i></blockquote>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their team's participation in the recent tournament in Taiwan had sparked an online sensation especially to Altynbekova. Taiwanese fans were spotted watching the games holding Kazakhstan flags and even went early before the match just to get a glimpse of her. It was like that Altynbekova just gets the eyes and the attention of fans and players, teammate or opponents alike.<br />
