It took just a few days for Sabina Altynbekova, an under-19 female volleyball player from Kazakhstan, to hit stardom. After some performances during a youth tournament in Taipei last week, the attractive sportswoman has pocketed more than 200,000 subscribers in her Instagram account.

The 17-year-old has apparently been receiving a lot of public and media attention due to her appearance. 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 as the team’s No.20 has been the centre of the spotlight all along.
