A teenage volleyball player from Kazakhstan is coming under fire, but it's not because of her skills. It's because of her looks.
Critics say Sabina Altynbekova, 17, is so beautiful that it's a distraction to the sport. Even the athlete's own coach says his team is increasingly about one player, at least as far as the fans are concerned.
"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."

Good point.
Why the hell would someone fake being Beez?
Beez actually made her famous. she now has 5000 people who know her
I'll let you know.
Is that the Kazak equivalent of pulling train?
Oh, and they were first cousins. Hey, look, it was totally normal in 1870s Georgia! STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!
At last! An explanation that makes sense.
How awesome would it be for Greg to find out that one of his ancestors either attended or somehow was involved with VA Tech?
The realization that he's from Hokie trash stock would definitely be something I want to witness.

Oddly enough, works in 2014 Georgia as well...(both of them)
Reminds me of a conversation I had with my doorman when I lived in the city, he was furious with George Bush because he had heard there were Russian tanks in Georgia....yes, that Georgia..

Geneology sometimes tells you more than you'd like to know about your family history. A lot more.

He has the first cousin marriage thing in his past, so there may be a link to VT....

Rob's lying, no one cares about Georgia.
Either that, or an extreme paucity of branches on the tree.

You can simply say that you come from a very close knit family.

So Greg's geneology chart resembles JerseyJoe 's passing tree?
Lock up your teenage daughters.
Maybe your sons, too.
