people talk about her letting herself go is ignorant !!! Nastia changed from a skinny teenager into a beautiful woman. She devoted her whole childhood towards the Olympics and training, she deserves to enjoy life and what it has to offer after her accomplishments. She is still incredible in every respect.
Gymnastics isn't about winning gold medals. Its about jumping and flipping and moving your body in glorious ways and enjoying it for the joy of the moment and feeling peaceful and happy afterwards and stretching and eating protein and loving your body for what it can do. I'm only a beginnier, but I'll train gymnastics in heaven forever without competing. Forever gymnastics! I'll do it forever.
Nastia is my girl!!! For those who don't know this is just a SHOW not a COMPETITION so why would she risk breaking a bone. Besides making those jumps requires lots of focus, practice, and the competition drive...this show don't require such factors, and since they don't she can run the risk of injuring herself. DUH!
The shape those athletes are in right before the Olympics can't really be duplicated. It's hard to describe how grueling the training is, how all-encompassing, how much it rules every minute of all your days. They are bone-thin right before that huge event, but the amount of training & exertion & strict dieting it would take to maintain that is simply not do-able by a normal person; i.e., anyone but an olympian right before the games. A lot of the restricted eating results in delayed puberty, no menses, & none of the accompanying physical development. When they stop training & start eating normally & go back to a normal weight , they also continue to develop a mature female body type. People think they look "fat," but actually it looks like a very healthy weight for Nastia. Shawn Johnson, I would not say the same about her. She really did get a little porky for awhile, but again, after literally years of being a slave to her sport, she certainly has my permission to finally get to know what it feels like to say "yes" to just about everything. Probably a pendulum swing, as anyone who has been on a starvation diet can tell you. The first chance you get you eat everything in sight. She may never again be in pre-Olympic condition, but the Olympics are for many a once-in-a-lifetime thing. The price of perfection is very, very high.
LOL me too...I find it weird to see these hardcore athletes doing shows of their sports...imagine if all the track and field athletes did a show hahaha!
If I were her, I wouldn't either. Why risk hurting yourself in a situation like this? It's not a competition, plus you're not as focussed so more things could go wrong, like landing a tumbling pass wrong on the beam.
@Denise Di Salvo You could have made your point without referring to Shawn Johnson as having gotten "a little porky". All Nastia's fans seem to know how to do, is go after somebody else, usually Shawn, whenever she gets any kind of criticism about her looks. Shawn was literally in the middle of puberty after the Olympics, compared to Nastia's adult age during and after the Olympics. Clearly you knew your comment was rude, hence locking it, and not allowing replies. You're a coward...
she is beautiful.... but hum what can I say about her performance..... a lot of posing.... her lines are still nice to watch but she was spectaclur in movement.... so too bad.
alright I say that shes talented so wht if she breaks a bone shes having fun u guys gotta be confiedent I do gymnastics my self and the first time I did a split I was scared as shit I was crying so much I was kinda laughing if u guys have nothing nice to say don't say it at all :( ;)
This proved to be the typical craptacular that we have came to know I can't believe NBC still airs this crap it should be called posing with a couple simple gymnastic skills put in a level 7 could do better than this
She certainly let herself go since the 2008 olympics. she's doubled in size :-/ I take it she retired and that's the reason for the weight gain? She was always so slim and lean. She was unsteady on that beam when in the past, she would have nailed every part of it. Disappointing, this is nowhere as good as what we know she is capable of or was capable of. I guess her time is up now..
If you want your opinion, go have it in a separate comment.. just like i did. Do you see me pulling anyone up for having their opinion? No, thought not :)

+guitarhaus Totally agree. I prefer the Nastia from 2011 to the Nastia of 2016. She is way too skinny now.
she is breathtaking to watch-since Yurchenko,there hasn't been such a graceful gymnast-power+elegance and beauty
Such an incredible athlete but so gracious, so humble. What a pleasure to hear her thoughts..

Agreed but it's an honor to represent your country too. Love your passion!!
Skating and Gymnastics, two of my favorite sports!
Nastia is my girl!!! For those who don't know this is just a SHOW not a COMPETITION so why would she risk breaking a bone.

2:37 OUT OF BOUNDS POINT ONE DEDUCTION

Trendy Maths Hey friend! It was a joke. (It’s incredibly obvious that this isn’t a competition.)
Hope this finds you well!
Nastia Liukin is fearless

would love to see her do more contemporary dance
I thought the skaters were gonna throw her in the air for a second..
She's a Diva !!!

Nastia's a beautiful girl and a talented gymnast.
She is much more then a model ..
This makes me uncomfortable.
LOL me too...I find it weird to see these hardcore athletes doing shows of their sports...imagine if all the track and field athletes did a show hahaha!
she looks like the girl from big bang theory
Can u upload the full episodes of 2010, 2011, and 2012
Who’s that with Charlie carrying her over to the beam?
If I were her, I wouldn't either. Why risk hurting yourself in a situation like this? It's not a competition, plus you're not as focussed so more things could go wrong, like landing a tumbling pass wrong on the beam.
Very interesting.. :-)
how is is possible that the Improv Ice costumes are the exact same? (or at least Sasha Cohen's is):S
She studied ballet along with gymnastics so she can dance as well as tumble.
penny from big bang theory :)

O
This proved to be the typical craptacular that we have came to know I can't believe NBC still airs this crap it should be called posing with a couple simple gymnastic skills put in a level 7 could do better than this
I needed to see a therapist after I watched this video.
What's so wrong with having a high forehead? Her hairline just starts further back is all.
Wel she is a gimnast....but she is not a dancer at all
