Country  where   I  live  is very small,  but its name   is great, because we have  many  Georgian people  who  are   well-known  not only in Georgia  but  all over the world  with their  talent and   achievements. I can represent  some persons:
Nino Ananiashvili-world   famous Georgian ballerina. Born in March  1963  in Tbilisi.  At an early age  she began  skating   and became  Georgia’s   junior   skating champion  by  1969. The same year,  she also  began  her ballet training  at the Georgian  State  Choreographic  School. In 1977, she entered   the Moscow   Choreographic   Institute at the “Bolshoi Theater”. She soon  impressive  progress  in her dancing   skills  and won the Gold Medal.  Nino  danced her first major role  in “Swan Lake”  while on tour  with the “Bolshoi” in Germany  and soon became prima ballerina.

During  her career  she had performed  in many ballet theatres  in various  countries, such as: The United Kingdom,  The United States  of America , Bulgaria , Georgia,  Germany,  Hungary,  Italy, Japan,  Russia  and  some others. She had performed  well in several  competitions  and was awarded  with  gold   medals.      In  2004  she became Artistic Director of the State Ballet of Georgia.

      I  also very interested about Ketie  Melua  who is a Georgian-British singer, song writer and musician. Was born  in Kutaisi, Georgia  in  1984.She spent her first years  with her grandparents in the capital Tbilisi before moving with her parents and brother to the town of Batumi. In 1993  the  family  moved to  Belfast, Northen Ireland ,where they lived  for four years.Then they moved to London.When Ketie became a British citizen  she announced:”We stiil consider ourselves to be Georgian,because that is where our roots are, and I return to Georgia  every year to see  my uncles  and  grandparents”.   While studying at Brit school  Ketie  was discovered  by the producer  Mike   Batt-an  English  songwriter and  sent her into the  recording studio.Her first album was released  in 2003 and it is called “Call  of the Search”. During the years   her talent was rewarded   with many  prizes . Ketie has sold more than 7.5  million  albums. Her voice and talent conquered the hearts of many people and she is supported by fans  all over the world.

                                                                                                                                                                    

            

      My big interest  also caused Zaza Pachulia because I am very fond of  playing  basketball.    Zaza  is a  professional basketball player  for the Atlanta Hawks  of the NBA. Was born on February 10, 1984 in Tbilsi, Georgia. Pachulia was a very successful  basketball player at a very early age. He was 2.04 meters at the age of 13.Left his native Georgia in 1998 to go to Turkey   and persue his basketball career.Began playing for Ulker when he was just 15.  Pachulia signed the contract    with the Atlanta Hawks   in the 2005 off -season   and became the Hawks starting career. Through seven seasons  he has appeared in 500 career games . Has missed 41 games due to injury.  Favourite sports outside of basketball  include tennis and soccer. He is married and has two sons.    He is also a captain  of Georgian National  team.      

                                                     

 Pachulia officialy  re-signed with the Hawks on July 8,2009,agreeing to a multi-year contract.

     And at last I   want  to   represent another world famous person kakha  Kaladze  who was born in Samtredia, a  Georgian town near the Black Sea.  He started his carrer   playing as a forward for his local club Lokomotiv   Samtredia, where his father was a president,until former Georgia international  footballer David Kipiani requested  that he join Dinamo Tbilisi. At Dinamo Tbilisi (1993-1997) he played   in 82 domestic league  games  and scored one goal. €280,000 was  enough to take him to the Ukrainian  Premier League   and Dinamo kyiv   in January  1998,where he   signed a four year deal. Here he scored 6  goals   in 71  league games over the two and  a half  seasons  he spent  there. Kaladze also appeared in the semi-final of the 1998-99  Champions League .

He  became  the most expensive Georgian   footballer in history when Milan paid    €16m  to bring him to Italy . Along with his football career kaladze is also a successful businessman with investments in Georgia,Italy,Ukraine  and Kazakhstan. Outside of football he owns a company   called “Kala Capital “. He has also been active in charitable causes and is a FIFA   ambassador for the SOS  Children’s   Villages.

          My wish and  purpose   was to introduce   Georgia as  a  successful  country  and  so  I  represented  these  persons.They are exactly  from my native country  Georgia.
