    Definitely miss Nastia!, she was a unique talent. She was, in her fathers own words a "fragile" gymnast. She may not have been very powerful (for a gymnast),but they took her strengths and turned her into an Olympic Champion and THAT should be an inspiration to all gymnasts!!! She made I t with basically front tumbling only and while I appreciate the strengths in the double doubles, etc...the grace and elegance at its finest....

      i was very much like her (NOT as good of course) but i wasnt a very powerful tumbler when i did competitive gymnastics. my russian teachers really liked me because i was so flexible, but the gym i was at favored power gymnasts. i do ballet now so i wish i had someone who couldve played to my strengths. who knows maybe i couldve become really good. oh well

      +Queensofprep870 yes, she was a rare talent. the gymnastics world is geared more towards the power gymnasts, BUT..have you seen the gymnasts from the Netherlands? they have managed to use the code to their advantage by upping their D scores with dance elements. They do pretty simple tumbling passes, which may not win gold medals but they are doing well and are gorgeous to watch!! I was the opposite, I was a power gymnast and despised dance class lol.

      @QPHashSS77 Artistic gymnastics is supposed to showcase the artistry and dance as it's also a compulsory requirement... You have no idea what ballerina's go through in order to execute their moves as gymnasts would be considered weak compared to their lower body strength as dancers usually showcase lines of artistry that gymnasts these days don't have as they're too obsessed with coming up with more difficult power tumbling moves to where most of the apparatus including beam, bars, and floor have basically become compulsory as there isn't any diversity within the combinations in bars with stalders, van leuweens, jaegers, tkatchevs, beam with at least a full, backhandspring with two layouts, WOLF TURNS, and double double, double pike dismounts. With floor, the tumblings include Silivas, Chusovitina, double saltos in general, and a single turn. And with VAULT, I usually see a double twisting or an amanar or a handspring front 2 and a half to the point where there isn't any uniqueness towards vault anymore. Try practicing in pointe for 6-8 hours without having your feet hurt to the point where it's numb and a toenail comes off!

      @@kiersontitus7322 ive been a ballerina for 3/4 of my life and i was a gymnast also. i must say, ballet is harder in my opinion. it takes a lot of core strength, leg muscles, balance, timing, technicality, emotion/expression, etc. to be a great ballerina. ballet comes with a lot more requirements than gymnastics does. whereas i enjoy watching gymnastics more, i think ballet is far more elegant, peaceful, graceful and for sure, a lot more work.

    Back then Nastia connected the Onodi and the wolf jump a tad bit more than she did in the 2008 Olympics, but here she still did not really connect her free front walkover and her back walkover. Starting from 2008, she also began to see the beam a split-second before landing on her switch split ring leap. Other than those, all her beam routines were done with mind-blowing execution. Still my favourite gymnast to this day.

      Alex Arulf Nastia’s Mom would leave the gymnasium when she marched out with her teammates. She could not stand to watch Nastia perform her routines. Have a tape of the 08 all-around in Beijing and it ran over. She ran to call her mother but apparently her mom had turned off her phone.

It was really hard for me because you could see every mistake i made because of my long legs. it is alot easier for the girls who have short legs because it sort of hides little mistakes. When you have long legs like that you have to really watch your form.
