How Laysan Utyasheva changed: from a fragile champion to a TV personality. Photo selection for the star's 35th anniversary

Currently, fans associate the name Utyasheva not only with rhythmic gymnastics. The champion took on the roles of a presenter, as well as a sports commentator and dancer. In addition, it is no secret to anyone that Utyasheva is also the wonderful wife of Pavel Volya, the mother of two children. Today she turned 35 years old.

One can only wonder how the TV personality manages to immediately take care of her family, as well as participate in television projects and tour. For a long period, the gymnast remains interesting to fans, as she is not afraid to experiment and always strives to develop. Today the celebrity turns thirty-five years old. In honor of the holiday, we remember how her style and appearance changed.

Photos in childhood

From the star’s personal biography it is known that she was born in Bashkiria and grew up in a family that had absolutely nothing to do with sports activities.

Since childhood, she has been involved in rhythmic gymnastics at a professional level and even repeatedly earned the title of European champion, but due to a serious foot injury, Laysan’s sports activities were suspended. The best doctors performed reconstruction surgery for quite a long time. During it, the athlete changed a lot - she gained noticeable weight. After the operation, Utyasheva competed for another 2 years, and in 2006 she announced her retirement from the sport.

If you look at a photo of a celebrity as a child, he is an ordinary chubby child with chubby cheeks and expressive facial features. Now she is a respectable and elegant lady. The former athlete became a professional presenter - she starred in the program “Fitness with the Stars”, “Be Healthy” and “Dancing on TNT”.

early years

Back in 1989, the Utyashev family, after moving to Volgograd, instead of a ballet school, on the recommendation of Nadezhda Kasyanova, sent their daughter to rhythmic gymnastics. Even then, little Laysan told her mother that she would become a great champion.

Mom did everything possible to provide for her daughter, but it turned out to be difficult, especially after her husband left the family. At one time they ate only buckwheat, since a librarian’s salary wouldn’t do much for them.

Utyasheva was eleven when her mother went to work in the capital and left her daughter in Volgograd in the care of a coach. The mentor saw that Laysan was prone to weight gain, which means that if she is not kept on a diet, her “infinitely long” legs will quickly lose their slimness.

How the star began to look after her first plastic surgery

The very first thing that worries fans is the gymnast’s family life, how her everyday life goes with the famous comedian Pavel Volya. Fans are also interested in what athlete Laysan Utyasheva looked like after plastic surgery.

If we compare her photos in her youth and now, the following changes have occurred:

  1. First of all, experts say that facial plastic surgery was done. Eyebrows became more expressive and raised. The look has become fresher and deeper. This may indicate that an upper blepharoplasty was most likely performed.
  2. Cheekbones and cheeks became more expressive. It is possible that surgery was performed to remove Bish's lumps.
  3. Probably, breast plastic surgery was also done - if before it was small, now it has become larger and tighter.

However, experts say that such a change could also occur as a result of sudden weight loss. Laysan’s cheeks disappeared - her face became more expressive. Accordingly, she acquired a new shape and figure. At the same time, the former athlete looks natural, so it is impossible to say 100% that plastic surgery was performed.

About unexpected fees and expenses

“I’m 16 years old, this is my first time going to the World Cup in Berlin. I’m a horse, I’m blinkered, I don’t see or hear anything, I’m riding for the first time with Kabaeva and Chashchina (champions Alina Kabaeva, Irina Chashchina - Forbes ) and I’m just afraid of “shitting myself.” And after the victory, at the banquet, I was terribly scared when people in uniform came up to me and said: “Please, let’s go into that room.” They gave me a bunch of paperwork to fill out, and it turned out that I received a fee for winning, $20,000. I used it to buy a nice one-room apartment in Moscow.

Then there were master classes. 15 years ago one master class cost $5,000, which was very decent money. I saved up several times and bought a car, a Nissan Micra, small, black, pot-bellied. As I remember now, it cost $19,000. Then there was a contract with Reebok for five years, but I can’t say the amount, I’ll just say that it was luxurious. And then I started working on television, almost for free, but they taught me a lot.”

What does she look like now

Utyasheva’s age is already noticeably over 40, yet she continues to look like a young lady. New photos before and after plastic surgery have appeared on the Internet, in which it has become noticeable that the lips have become more voluminous. At the same time, they look quite natural and make the gymnast attractive.

It’s quite easy to see Laysan without makeup - on social networks she often shares with fans how she looks naturally - in ordinary clothes, with her hair pulled into a ponytail and without makeup. At the same time, she looks flawless. Looking at her perfect face shape and flawless skin condition, one can assume that she regularly gets injections that help her prevent the signs of aging.

Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov and “Dancing”

“Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov (producer and screenwriter, creative producer of the TNT channel. - Forbes

), like Irina Viner, they are people of the same category. This is an absolute fan of his work; it’s not enough for him to simply arrange the cameras, turn on the lights and put a microphone on the presenter. He, like Irina Viner, needs to find your source, your charisma. “Dancing” is a global project, and only one producer, Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov, managed to do this. I am very glad that he then persuaded me to become a presenter, although I was a nursing woman with postpartum depression. He told me: “You don’t know what you are giving up.” And now it’s been seven years, actually two Olympic cycles.”

What the star officially says about them

Laysan Utyasheva is not embarrassed by questions about plastic surgery. In every interview, she claims that a woman under 50 does not need to seek help from plastic surgeons for surgery. The gymnast and wife of a famous comedian claims that the key to an attractive appearance is proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and self-care.

If you do everything correctly, you will be able to remain an attractive person until retirement.

In addition, in her opinion, all liposuction and silicone are extremely harmful for women. They make her charming and pretty image look very unnatural. Despite such statements, fans still noticed some changes in the appearance of the former gymnast. She became more attractive and sexy. But no negative statements appeared on forums or on social network pages. Most fans confidently stated that such small modifications only benefited the star’s appearance.

Experts also conducted a comparative analysis between the photographs of Laysan Utyasheva. They are confident that such changes could occur with age and have nothing to do with plastic surgery. This could also be a consequence of intensive weight loss.

About the difference in mentalities and life after big sport

“After finishing my career, I gave many master classes. I traveled to both the States and Europe. By the way, I was offered immigration everywhere to become a head coach, both in the USA and in Europe. Because rhythmic gymnastics in Russia is like Hollywood. But I refused because there is no such hard work and self-sacrifice.

When I gave master classes, the girls could drink sweet soda and eat burgers for lunch. But it’s impossible to say anything to a teenager or a child, there are a lot of different laws that I didn’t know. And when I carefully said to one girl: “Please, you don’t have to bring a hamburger with this sweet water tomorrow, because it’s your weight, it will be hard for you, it’s a burden on your heart,” she replied that she would come with a lawyer, because I forbid her to eat.

But here in Russia, the coach’s word is law. If you go to the sport of great achievements, you must make certain big sacrifices - do not eat after 18:00, as the great Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya said. Ballet, gymnastics - it's all nearby. If you want to achieve some results, you need to work in the gym for eight to nine hours, without exaggeration. Rhythmic gymnastics is a youth sport, and the main results in it occur before the age of 18. How can you legally prohibit a child, for example, from eating or something else in a country like America? You will either be imprisoned, or fired, or some fines will be imposed on you, or you will be called politically incorrect.”

How plastic surgery affected your career

If earlier Laysan Utyasheva was just a bright girl, then in the latest photos she has become incredibly graceful and feminine. Needless to say, the transformation only had a positive impact on the development of her career.

The former gymnast began appearing on television as a presenter and jury member. Mostly she appears on the TNT channel.

For several years now, Laysan and Pavel Volya, based on fan voting, have become one of the most beautiful star couples in Russian show business. There are rumors that they are getting a divorce. Also, information often appears on the Internet that the comedian is cheating on his wife. Despite such gossip, the former gymnast regularly publishes photos with her husband and children on social networks.

The celebrity began to be invited as a guest to various projects - related to sports, fashion or beauty. She also willingly gives interviews. For example, in 2021 she became a participant in one of the episodes of the show “People are Talking.” In the interview, she told a lot about how modern gymnasts live, about her relationship with her husband, about raising children, and even shared the secrets of preparing signature dishes for her family.

Today it won’t be difficult to find what Laysan Utyasheva looks like now. The celebrity, as well as her famous husband, constantly publish new photos on social networks. Opportunity, the gymnast’s appearance has changed slightly thanks to plastic surgery - her breasts and lips have slightly increased in volume. But it is worth noting that Laysan’s attractiveness is largely due to her ability to take care of her appearance and take care of herself.

Difficult period

According to the athlete’s story, she began to look like a concentration camp prisoner and thought only about food. But very soon the mother realized that her daughter’s monotonous answers “everything is fine” were not true, and she took Laysan to live in Moscow. Thanks to good nutrition, the girl’s cheeks returned, but her slender legs did not go away, so while competing for the national team, Utyasheva looked fit. The time has come for victories: several years of happiness and a huge number of gold medals.

But the finest hour ended very quickly and unexpectedly. At a competition in 2002, Laysan landed poorly and knocked off her foot. Further sports training only worsened the situation; even after 5 operations, the bone fractures did not heal.

Nevertheless, in 2004 the girl became the European champion, and also won victories in tournaments in Latvia and France. Only 2 years later, when the athlete’s knee blew out while preparing for a competition, she decided to immediately end her career.

What did Laysan Utyasheva look like at that time? Of course, the gymnast was in great shape, having been hardened by years of training. At photo shoots, Utyasheva always looked great in both elegant dresses and suits, and there was a lot of filming. The media were eager to interview the celebrity who had decided to give up competing for good.

About the small homeland

“There, in Raevka (a village in Bashkiria, population 19,000 people. - Forbes

), I'm little Laysan again. I'm Leisyusha, with freckles, running barefoot on the ground, milking a cow, pulling out weeds in the garden. As soon as it became possible to fly somewhere, I immediately flew to Raevka, because the garden there was overgrown. I help old people, but they don’t want to leave there. These are people of that generation, and I partly understand them. Because when I come there and dig in the Bashkir black soil, I feel that I am also alive, but alive in a different way. I feel sad because my mother is no longer there, but I am distracted by something else. It’s native.”

Brands and conscious consumption

“I am probably a fan of one house, Yves Saint Laurent. I like sexy classics, so the best gift for Laysan is something from Yves Saint Laurent. But with me everything is simple - Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya loved Yves Saint Laurent, and I adore Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya. And she is so beautiful in all of this, these are my childhood pictures, my vision board. When the financial opportunity arose, the first such whim was a fan-shaped dress, which I wore at Vanya Urgant’s on my 35th birthday. Moreover, I am not embarrassed to wear the same dress somewhere two or three times. The showroom didn’t give it to me, it’s mine, I can walk around in it. And I am for conscious consumption and I think it’s nonsense that I can’t appear anywhere else in something that I wore once. Why not? Sometimes I donate things to foundations, they sell them and send the money to charity.”
