nastias lines were to die for. she could've been a great rythmic gymnast or ballet dancer.

@CCRoxtar 4 месяца назад

Her mom, in fact, was a rhythmic gymnast in her youth in the Soviet Union.

@brettonoverton6902 Месяц назад

Her mom was not just a rhythmic gymnast, she was a world champion.

@268482 7 лет назад

She always looked more like a rhythmic gymnast

@rhythmicsgymnasticsaudiosw2178 6 лет назад

Hugo Retamal she did

@xXthinkxthinXx 6 лет назад

Her mom was a rhythmic gymnast.

@Sophie-un3zi 5 лет назад

She's built like her mom

@Janellabelle 4 года назад

Which made her such a beautiful artistic gymnast. Like a supermodel among a pool of minions.

@dancegymedits9258 7 лет назад

wow Nastia looks so much like her mom now

@karlhaddad8031 7 лет назад

I love nastia luilkin perfect lines!!! Her story is outstanding

@irishdashxiahreyessy6165 2 года назад

Nastia Liukin is my top favorite gymnast. She epitomizes true grace, beauty, and elegance in all her routines. She was a born to be an Olympic Champion. Actually, I think she was the first Olympic All-around Gold Medalist under the open scoring system in gymnastics.

@MsSuperqurl 7 лет назад

7am is hard for her because of all the mental and physical draining from the practice / day before

@ash10roddy 6 лет назад

Looking back on this is always great because I went to Woga from the ages of 6-10 and I always saw Nastia training and she inspired me to be better.

@a55tech 2 года назад

that's cute how come u stopped at 10?

She's just a true all Russian American gymnast Beauty!...What an American dream she is , just athletic and graceful "GORGEOUS!" And an American gold Olympic champion!

@manzanitakatznellenbogen2870 2 года назад

With that ballet, it's no wonder her lines were so graceful. A real mix of modern skill with the balletic style

@marinaplana7669 7 лет назад

You dont need to be all around gold medalist to be a good gymnast! If you use this logic, Aly Raisman wouldn't deserve that either, or Victoria Komova, or many other amazing girls who didnt win the AA!!!

@valeriaconcepcion4482 7 лет назад

When Nastya came to the sceen I fell in love with her when she performed on the balance beam. I thought to myself that's how you do it.

@Laura-lf9oj 6 лет назад

Did anyone else think Nastia's dad was speaking in his original language. But then realised that he just has a really thick accent?

Olivia S. I don't think it's a thick accent. It's actually Russian he speaks.

@kittipos44179 7 лет назад

@@Elong. Many girls have tall willowy parents. For basketball or ballet dance coaches and physicians select girls when they are very young. In the USA for WAG they select girls like Simone Biles. They could also let tall and willowy girls be top WAG athletes.

@Elong. 3 года назад

@@GoldForAnna In the US the girls themselves decide if they want to become gymnasts or not. It’s not a government decision.

@GoldForAnna 3 года назад

Absolutely, but as Nastia told, when you are a thin child, everybody tell you “It will be very difficult for you to succeed in Artistic Gymnastics”, and great coaches won't be interested in loosing their time coaching you. In the US, if the parents have no money, and if they are tall and thin, their daughter won’t be an elite gymnast. Don’t you think so?
