Today, this woman is one of the richest and most influential in the country: Do you recognize her in her childhood photo? stars

We continue our regular column: guess the star from a photo from a children’s album. This time, one of the most influential and richest women in Russia became our heroine. She was born in the Uzbek SSR and grew up in an intelligent Jewish family of an artist and a doctor.

From an early age, this star is used to working to the maximum of her abilities and taking advantage of all the opportunities that life provides. Already at a very young age, she showed an iron character: from the age of 11 she began to engage in rhythmic gymnastics professionally, despite her parents’ ban.

Mom and dad just had to put up with this desire of their daughter, and they had nothing to complain about. The girl managed not only to train, but also to study well at school – so much so that she managed to graduate with a silver medal. She also showed great results in sports and became the champion of Uzbekistan three times.

Check out this woman’s childhood photo – have you guessed who it is? To be honest, it was not the first time that we could recognize in this thin and sonorous brunette with a kind smile … the president of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics Irina Viner!

Yes, it is almost unrecognizable in the youthful photo, but we are hardly talking about plastic here. In the 1970s, Irina started training, stopped restricting herself so strictly in nutrition, and transformed from an angular girl into a truly feminine beauty. Today, Irina Alexandrovna is already 74 years old, but she still looks great, leads an active lifestyle and is the best example for budding athletes.
