The fact that Alina's parents were athletes predetermined her fate: " I got into sports thanks to my parents: my dad was a football player, and my mother played basketball. Her basketball team trained in the same gym as the gymnasts. First, Irina Viner’s players trained, and then the basketball players took to the court. Having once seen Irina Alexandrovna, my mother said: “If I have a girl, I will definitely send her to rhythmic gymnastics, and to this coach.” And so it happened".

Alina began doing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of three and a half, and at the age of 12 she moved with her mother to Moscow to train with Irina Viner, who immediately set the condition: to lose weight (by gymnastic standards, Alina is prone to being overweight, which is somewhat noticeable now, after completing a sports career).

Personal life. Alina Kabaeva and Vladimir Putin

In April 2008, the Moscow Correspondent newspaper published an article that Vladimir Putin allegedly divorced his wife Lyudmila (while in reality the divorce happened only 5 years later - in 2013) and was going to marry Alina Kabaeva.

The article caused such a resonance that at Putin’s press conference in Italy on April 18, 2008, one of the journalists asked: “ Vladimir Vladimirovich, I want to ask you about rumors: During your presidency, you have repeatedly encountered various rumors, “canards” - both about the country and about you personally. Here in Italy, I looked at Italian newspapers and was surprised to discover how popular the topic of your upcoming wedding with Alina Kabaeva is here. I want to ask you how you feel about all this personally, and (sorry for, of course, very sensitive issue) is it true that you divorced your wife, and is it true that your daughter got married and lives in Munich?"
Putin responded to this with the following: " The first thing I want to say is that there is not a single word of truth in what you said. Second: You mentioned an article in one of our tabloid newspapers, which actually mentions our Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Alina Kabaeva and mentions, in my opinion, Katya Andreeva, your colleague who works on Channel One of Russian television. Other successful, beautiful, young women and girls are mentioned in other publications of this kind. And I think it won’t be unexpected if I say that I like them all, just like all Russian women. I think that no one will be offended if I say that I personally believe that our Russian women are the most talented and most beautiful. If anyone can compete with them, it can only be.
I, of course, know the hackneyed phrase and cliche that politicians live in a glass house, and society, of course, has the right to know how people who are engaged in public activities live. But even in this case, there are still some restrictions. Exists privacy, in which no one is allowed to interfere. I have always had a negative attitude towards those who, with some kind of flu-like nose and with their erotic fantasies, meddle in someone else’s life."(quoted from a transcript from the official Kremlin website - http://www.kremlin.ru/transcripts/24922).

The first meeting between Vladimir Putin and 20-year-old Alina Kabaeva dates back to 2003, when the president congratulated the rhythmic gymnastics team on their victory at the World Championships. Photo - RIA Novosti (Vladimir Rodionov).

Despite the public denial, rumors about an affair between Putin and Kabaeva did not subside and escalated again after Vladimir Putin’s divorce in 2013. There was even talk about Kabaeva’s two children from Putin. Kabaeva received the clownish nickname “Zabava Putyatishna”.

The son of Alina Kabaeva and Vladimir Putin is often added to this photo in Photoshop:

Alina Kabaeva herself, like Putin, denies these rumors. From an interview with Bolshoy Sport magazine in 2013 (after Putin’s divorce): “ Life experience has taught me not to let anyone into my personal life. Anyone who wants to talk about work, the festival, or other professional issues is welcome, but not about personal matters. The only thing I can say is: I don’t have children. This is true".

10 years earlier, Alina Kabaeva spoke a little more openly about her personal life. From a 2003 interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda:

They write so many different things about you. What's the biggest nonsense you've read about yourself?

- That I'm getting married.

Is your fan (to calm everyone down) related to sports?

- No, but he stays in shape. - Alina immediately comes to her senses and continues with a laugh: - I know such questions. If he has nothing to do with sports, then it means he is some kind of businessman. They wrote on the Internet that I went to Milan, that I had four suitcases with me, and then two were stolen, and my boyfriend gave me an insanely expensive dress, and then I had a fight with him, and this dress was also stolen from me. So I don't want to say anything about my personal life.

I was amazed that in the interview you, a 19-year-old girl, argue that a man, in principle, cannot avoid walking “to the left”...

- It seems to me that this is so. But loving person He will never in his life make it so that one could guess about physical betrayal. If a person wants to break off a relationship with you, then, of course, he will behave demonstratively: turn off his phone and not communicate... Fortunately, this has not happened to me. I leave in English all the time. Quiet.

That is, physical betrayal is not yet betrayal?

- I don't think so. But it’s better not to know or talk about this. For example, I have a girlfriend, and I know a lot about her young man. But I will never tell her this in my life - they must figure it out themselves. I also don’t like it when they start telling me about my friends, where they saw whom and with whom.

Now Kabaeva does not deny that she is not alone, although she does not reveal the name of her lover. From an interview with Sobesednik magazine in 2014: " Thank God I have love in my life. This is great happiness"Alina also commented on the information regarding the ring, supposedly similar to a wedding ring, which appeared on her finger at the Olympics. Spectators saw the accessory when the gymnast carried the Olympic torch around the Fisht stadium. The question about the ring made the athlete smile: " I myself don’t remember what kind of ring I had there. Well, you see, this ring is definitely not a diamond ring. Conversations in the kitchen, discussing someone's rings - this is, in general, normal, there is nothing wrong with that. The main thing for me is that everything I say does not harm people. Everyone should have their little secrets - I have them too. I am happy that I am surrounded by love. But you can’t be too happy either, so as not to scare away your happiness".

The biography of Alina Kabaeva has been rich and interesting since childhood. The rumors that circulate around the girl’s personality are sometimes ridiculous, but still make her admirers and admirers tremble.

Alina's family: Alina Kabaeva's father and mother

Perhaps the fact that the girl built such a successful sports career, was predetermined since childhood. The future Olympic champion was born in a very sports family. Marat Vazykhovich, the father of Alina Kabaeva, whose biography was also very eventful - by the time his first daughter was born, he was already a professional football player and played for the Pakhtakor team.

He was born on May 27, 1961 in Uzun in Uzbekistan, which at that time was part of Soviet Union. Marat Vazykh's father, Alina's grandfather, was for some time the chairman of the Republican Federation of the Uzbek SSR for national Kuresh wrestling. Since childhood, Marat himself has been fond of football and basketball. By the age of 15, he was already playing and training in the Labor Reserves society in Moscow, and by 1979 he began playing for the Termez Avtomobilist. By 1980, the father of the future Olympic champion moved to Pakhtakor as an attacking midfielder.

In 1981, the football player played for the USSR youth team at an international tournament in Toulon, France, and in 1983 he participated in games for the USSR Olympic team. In the same year, on May 12, he and his wife Lyubov Mikhailovna had their first daughter. But the man’s sports career did not end with the birth of his first child. In 1986, Alina Kabaeva’s father played for the first league club SKA in Rostov-on-Don, and a year later he returned to Pakhtakor, where he became the team’s top scorer.

In 1986, Alina Kabaeva’s father played for the first league club SKA in Rostov-on-Don, and a year later he returned to Pakhtakor, where he became the team’s top scorer. In the same years, the couple had a second daughter, Alina Kabaeva’s younger sister, Leysana.

The man’s playing career ended only in 1998 due to two sports injuries, but already in 2000 he began training future talented football players. Since 2014, he has held the position of president of the Association of Muslim Entrepreneurs Russian Federation, but resigned in 2016. However, in 2016, Alina Kabaeva’s father created International Association Islamic business, the official opening of which took place on February 16 in Moscow.

Despite the fact that the girls’ father was a Tatar by nationality, Alina Kabaeva herself, like her mother and sister, was Russian by nationality. The girls' mother is Lyubov Mikhailovna. Previously, she played in the Uzbekistan national basketball team. Such sports parents became the reason why the little girl began her sports career. As already mentioned, Alina Kabaeva’s birthday is May 12, 1983. The future Olympic champion was born in Tashkent. It was Lyubov Mikhailovna who took her first daughter to the “Labor Reserves”, where Alina’s father once worked, at the age of 3.5 years. The girl started doing rhythmic gymnastics.

The beginning of Alina Kabaeva's sports career

Initially, the mother dreamed that her daughter would build a career in figure skating, but in hot Tashkent at that time there was no strong schools By figure skating, so the choice fell on gymnastics. Little Alina didn’t like the classes at first; the girl wanted to go not to rhythmic gymnastics, but to artistic gymnastics, but she was not accepted into the section because they considered her unpromising - she was not skinny, so the coach simply rejected the student.

However, after some time, three-year-old Alina Kabaeva liked the beautiful music and bright costumes in which the gymnasts performed, so the girl quickly got involved. The first coaches of the future sports star were Angelina Malkina and Lyudmila Nikitina, who played an important role in the biography of Alina Kabaeva. It was they who taught the girl perseverance, hard work and made her believe in own strength and opportunities.

Observing the success of her first daughter, Alina Kabaeva’s mother decided, when the girl turned 11, to move to Moscow in order to further develop the child’s potential. In the capital, the girl went to train in the rhythmic gymnastics section under the guidance of the legend Irina Viner. As the athlete herself recalls, at the first meeting, there was horror in the eyes of the Russian national team coach - the future sports star turned out to be completely unprepared professionally, and also, according to professionals, she was overweight.

Alina, who received the offensive nickname “TV on legs” and, according to the trainer, was prone to being overweight, was put on a strict diet and began to exhaust her with training. But without a doubt, Irina Viner did not spend so much effort in vain - she was able to discern the girl’s athletic talent. So, since 1995, Alina Kabaeva trained with Wiener, and already in 1996 she began playing for the Russian national team.

Alina Kabaeva's first successes in sports

Just two years after she began playing for the Russian national team, Alina Kabaeva, at the age of 15, received her first prestigious award. The young athlete won the European Championship in 1998, and then became the absolute European champion four more times. A year after her first victory, in 1999 the girl became the winner of the World Championship. By this time, the athlete already had two world champion titles in rhythmic gymnastics, received in Japan, in her “pocket”. As the girl later admitted, Japan was the most “lucky” country for her sports career.

Year after year, the girl conquered new heights of the sport, proving that there is no one better than her in rhythmic gymnastics. The athlete’s main achievement by that time was the title of the only four-time European champion. She won her first titles in Portugal, and received her last award in Spain, where in 2000 she won gold medals at the continental championship in Granada.

As the medalist herself says, her favorite exercises are routines with ribbon and clubs. In 2000, 17-year-old Alina Kabaeva took part in Olympic Games ah in Sydney and, being the generally recognized favorite, was able to demonstrate the best results in the final performance in exercises with a rope, ball and ribbon. Unfortunately, the Russian woman made a serious mistake during her performance with the hoop - it rolled off the field, so she received third place in the tournament. The Russian woman left the Olympics with a bronze medal.

The talented coach Irina Viner again played a huge role then. She supported the athlete during this difficult period, made her believe in herself again and taught her to perceive defeat as an incentive to continue working on herself.

How two years of disqualification affected the biography of Alina Kabaeva

Alina spoke to the media about the details of the wedding preparations, which never took place. At that time, total checks were carried out at Museliani’s work, which were caused by the authorities’ interest in the high income of the police captain and too expensive gifts which he made to his beloved. For example, David once gave a girl a car.
