2. Nowadays sport is a very
important part of everybody’s
life. Healthy lifestyle is
fashionable and exciting. As for
me I prefer healthy lifestyle too.
Because I have been inspired by
Alina Kabaeva since my
chilhood.

3. Alina Kabaeva was born on the
12th of May 1983 in Tashkent,
Uzbekistan. Alina started
rhythmic gymnastics when she
was 3,5 years old. Her mother
was a basketball player and her
father was a footballer.

4. When she was 12 years old Alina
and her mother moved to
Moscow. Irina Viner trained
Kabaeva there. Alina entered
Russian national gymnastics
team in 1996.

5. •1
gold medal in 2004 Summer Olympic
Games
•1 bronze medal in 2000 Summer Olympic
Games
•10 gold medals in World Rhythmic
Gymnastics Championships
•15 gold in Rhythmic Gymnastics European
Championships
•5 gold medals in World Cup

6. I admire this sportswoman because, first
of all, she is the second of the most
famous and successful rhythmic
gymnast in Russia after Evgenia
Kanaeva. Moreover Alina is a political
and social activist.

7. Unfortunately, my town has not any
conditions for doing gymnastic. But I can
live healthy and do sport myself.
