Alina Kabaeva's childhood, biography
Alina Maratovna Kabaeva was born on May 12, 1983 in Tashkent.
By nationality - Tatar. Alina's father is a Tatar, and her mother is Russian. The gymnast said that she understands Tatar well, but speaks it with difficulty. She knows the language thanks to her paternal grandmother, who always spoke her native language.
Alina's sports career began in early childhood - the girl was then only 3.5 years. This path was chosen for her by her mother, Lyubov Mikhailovna, who always dreamed that her daughter would go in for rhythmic gymnastics or figure skating. But due to the lack of professional ice sports schools, Alina was sent to the rhythmic gymnast section. The desire of the mother brought the talents of the young girl to life, which was able to realize them.
The first steps towards the sports Olympus began with the sports society "Labor reserves". E. Tarasova and A. Malkina became the first coaches of Kabaeva.
Having learned about the wonderful coach Irina Viner, the girl and her mother moved to Moscow. At that time, Alina was only 11 years old. But everything was not as smooth as the young gymnast expected: unpleasant news awaited her. The coach immediately set boundaries for her: losing weight, since the girl was inclined to be overweight, and it is dangerous for children, unlike adults, to lose weight, because the healthy development of the skeleton is at risk.
Sports career
Sports victories were given to Kabaeva one after another:
Is it possible to become world champion at 16? The biography of Kabaeva confirms that it is possible.
According to Alina, the most memorable moment was in 2000 at the Olympic Games in Sydney. Perfectly performing with ribbon, ball and rope, the gymnast allowed mistake: I did the exercise incorrectly, and the hoop, slipping out of my hands, rolled off the carpet. But due to the fact that after a gross mistake she gathered her will into a fist, the further performance passed without a single mistake. All Russian TV channels said that Kabaeva received an honorable third place.
The morale and sports spirit of Kabaeva was saved by her mother. After the performance, Alina called her mother and she, in turn, did not regret, but really supported, saying the words that became the most necessary and motivating for the young gymnast: “I lost today, but you will definitely win tomorrow.”
In 2001, for the use of the banned furosemide Kabaev was suspended for 2 years from all sports competitions. But the punishment did not end there: the young athlete was also deprived of awards and the title of world champion. Despite everything, Alina continued to train and go to classes. For a whole year, observers and fans of the talented gymnast did not hear anything about her, but during the second year of disqualification, she again declared herself. Kabaeva allowed to participate in competitions with only one condition: to control the state of health and pass checks daily.
In 2004, the gymnast overtook former disqualified colleagues Irina Chashchina and Anna Bessonova and took first place at the Athens Olympics.
In 2007, Alina Kabaeva completed her sports career.
