Remember the 'most beautiful volleyball player' Sabina Altynbekova? Here's what she's up to these days.

18-year-old Sabina Altynbekova enjoyed her time in the sun for a while a few months back with the media labeling her as the most attractive volleyball player in the world.

Now she's still playing volleyball, but in a different country.

According to Ejinsight, the Kazakh athlete has signed for GSS Sunbeam Club in Japan.



She is the first foreign player to play in a Japanese team.

Some in her home country Kazakhstan however have criticised the move, saying that she was betraying her homeland.



Altynbekova has hit back at her critics, saying that playing for a foreign club is different from playing for a foreign country.

She has also said that she expects her foreign experience to help her contribute more to Kazakhstan’s volleyball scene.

Who doesn't love a beautiful, athletic girl? Sabina Altynbekova has been generating all the buzz lately on the Internet.

At 182-cm tall and weighing 59kg, this 18-year-old Kazakh athlete sports beautiful long legs.

 

 Sabina Altynbekova, the teen Kazakhstan volleyball player, has quickly become an online sensation after becoming discovered at the 2014 Asian Junior Women's Volleyball Championship.


  


The 17 year old volleyball player is being scrutinized by her fellow teammates and her own coach.
Sports Fox News translated what the coach said to Tengrin News, "It's impossible to work like this. The crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship."

When the long-limbed athlete isn't spiking the ball, the brunette stunner has currently entered Kazakh University, majoring in Humanities and Law.

The sports star's mother, Nupripa Amritena, isn't too thrilled though about the sports world distracting her daughter from her real career path.

Amritena wants a better future for her child, "I wanted her to be admitted to the law (school), but she chose sports."

  

As of now the teen starlet has an entire Youtube page and fake Instagram, Twitter accounts dedicated to her, posting videos from the sports events.
Fans have also joined in the craze, creating anime fantasies about the 18-year-old, much to her dismay.
“I was flattered at first but it's all getting a little bit much,” Altynbekova said.
“I want to concentrate on playing volleyball and to be famous for that, not anything else.”
