Kazakhstan Teen’s Beauty a Distraction to Team and Sport

The Huffington Post had an article today about a 17 year-old from Kazakhstan being so beautiful, she is a distraction to the sport. Click here to see the full story.

Even her own coach isn't on her side. "It is impossible to work like this," Nurlan Sadikov, coach of the nation's under-19 team, told Tengrin News in a quote translated by the Daily Mail. "The crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship."

Her mom wanted her to go into law school. She wants to be a model. Who do you think will win? She is already a known world-wide commodity. The modeling thing seems like a bigger money maker now.

If she is a big distraction to the sport, what is Anna Kournikova or Danica Patrick?

To me, anyone who puts people in seats for any reason or brings added attention to the sport, is good for the sport.
