She made every final except for one, and medaled in every single final she was in. Nastia was a beast
Shannon Miller made EVERY final in the 92 games!
And she also had that artistry... She is one of the greatests...
If the tiebreak rules weren’t stupid, she would’ve won the bars final too.
great point! I didn't put it together what you said though I know how she did in all the events! Plus that AA gold :) And to think, Marta actually wanted her to be a beam and bars specialist, and Valeri had to fight for Nastia to compete in AA b/c he KNEW what his own daughter was capable of. The Liukin family has some serious "winner" genes lol.
@@EmilyS1234 Nah, Actually He Kexin was better than her by far.
She gets so much hate nowadays from younger fans but they can’t appreciate the elegance and perfection Nastia showcased. She was so unique and still is. We have yet to see another gymnast like her.
She was amazing at keeping her legs together (as odd as that sounds) on bars! a small thing that takes a lot of effort. and hyperextended knees and impeccable toepoint creates such gorgeous lines, like Komova, Pavlova, and Porgras, too.
The attention to the smallest details is what set her apart.
She is perfection.
Why would you give anyone this talented hate?
i feel like no gymnasts should ever get hate… like the rest of us could NEVER do anything as cool as the skills they perform
I've seen these routines over and over, and its still amazing every time. When she was injured everyone was so down on her and she really rose up at the Olympics. Forever and always my favorite gymnast.
She is the definitely emotion and expression to the extreme. Even her expression, fingers, arch and toes speak a story.
And to know it was all planned down to the very toe point. She will always be a favorite of mine
@@rachael8078 Yes, everything is planned but it's executed in away that makes me feel like it's just part of her.
@@johnluuee yes her mother was an amazing rhythmic gymnast too
Yeah, I was really impressed at the perfectionism both she and Valeri emphasized in the tiniest of details. If you think about it, she even incorporated her FACE in the floor routine where she always open with a powerful stare as part of the choreography. I can't think of other gymnasts that paid such extreme attention to details. I really admire her.
Ultimas
i love how she's only 5'3'' but looks so tall...
5'3" is already considered tall in women's artistic gymnastics.
That's insane, I thought she'd at least be around my height 5’8
@@VeeVe3 Khorkina is 5’5” and that’s considered almost too tall to even be a gymnast nowadays. The taller you are, the harder it is to rotate/control yourself in the air. I believe it is very unusual to be Elite level at Nastia’s height, let alone be on top of the sport. Hats off to her, huh?
Perhaps having long legs give the illusion that she's taller than she appears.
@@rachelstratman8901 it’s really impressive for sure
She is so beautiful to watch , absolute perfection and elegance . There will never be anyone else quite like Nastia! ♥️
I feel she is one of the most stunning gymnasts of all time. She had super hard skills and gorgeous artistic routines. Just pure brilliance! Her uneven bars routine was one of the greatest I've ever seen!
Probably the most artistic gymnast USA has ever had and will ever have.
No wonder she was trained by soviet hands of her father.
She was Russian style between the American girls.
Yes & it was utter perfection. I miss her style so much.
Her difficulty wasn’t that high except on bars, but her execution was amazing
Shannon Miller had better artistry in my opinion and Atler was a great combo of power/grace.
@@Appaddict01 absolutely. Shannon's 96 olympic's beam routine is a joy to watch. I loved Atler too. That beautiful floor she used to do to the sound of La Cumparsita is lovely.
@@heathermiller76 me too! I always come back to her performances
She’s one of the top inspirations for this generation of gymnasts
Truly one of the *BEST* of a nearly extinct style of women’s artistic gymnastics. One of a kind athlete!
Class, focus, style, artistry, & grace - There truly will never be another quite like Nastia 🥇🇺🇸
I agree 100%!
She's Russian, not American.
Most elegant gymnast I have ever seen at uneven bars. Nastia always get's to the top point at each element of exercise with so much courage and 100% confidence - wonderful!!!
In all USA female gymnasts I’ve watched, I find Nastia so unique, her technique and her elegance. She’s so graceful, very very graceful.
She is Russian.
The BEST. One of a kind. Her style of gymnastics will always be my favorite.
Her AA performance was THE meet of her life.
Always liked that Liukin used a Russian folk song for her floor exercise.
It's great to watch this playback w/o the commentators. It feels like I'm in the arena re-living the moment w/ everyone!
I still really do believe she should’ve scored higher on vault in the AA compared to the qualifications!! She stuck it in the AA but got a lower score compared to the higher score in the quals with a shuffle in the landing. I love her sm!!!
I think her height and form were superior in the quals vault. The stuck landing was phenomenal but I found the quals vault more inspiring as she soared so high with basically perfect form.
That vault was a dream performance.
@@mrparts the stars aligned for her that day. Just amaaaazing
@@Enzo-ho9uf Stuck vault, stuck beam dismount, clean landings on FX. Indeed!
@@makelovenotwar9941 not to mention an insane bars routine that was packed with so much difficulty that she could take a huge step on the landing and still get the highest score of the night on any apparatus. It was honestly the best performance in the individual AA all time for me. She was just on.
One of the most beautiful gymnasts ever!
such a lovely gymnast her lines are to die for
I miss this era. I miss the elegance and creativity and beautiful form. I still love women’s gymnastics, but the focus now is who can throw the craziest tricks.
She will always be one of my favorite gymnasts.
I forgot how great her floor performance was in the final. Probably the best one I’ve seen from her. She was so solid during these Olympics, and beautiful to watch!
Always on (toe)point. Miss the dance elements on floor. Thanks for giving us routines with no commentary.
Elegance and clean lines. Awesomeness!!
16.900 was and is a GINORMOUS score for bars! If she hadn't taken that tiny step on the dismount, Nastia would've scored a 17.00! 😳
Her switch ring is one of my favorites in the sport :’)
I dont know of anyone then or now who can do it like Nastia. So beautiful.
It's great in her Floor routine! Not so much on Beam...
@@heathermiller76 Anna Pavlova's was perfection. Nastia was a close second.
Ring leaps, sheep jumps & her mount. So many beautiful elements you don’t see often. Her UB dismount is insane.
She truely was an ARTISTIC gymnast!
Nastia is an Awesome USA gymnast, no doubt. When she does a back hand-spring it takes 5 seconds before her feet lands on the floor.
I love Liukin. Her movement is so elegent. It combines power and beauty.
Shes always had the most beautiful Onodi 😍
No one does them anymore its so sad
Nastia Liukin..WOW.. she's not only cute , but in control.. wonderful results after years of training ... deserved to win .
One of the best part of this video is Valeri's reactions. I get the sense that he's a coach who will give you realistic feedback, so getting his praise means you really did well. I know he doesn't have the best reputation as a coach with other gymnasts, but it's still great to see his interaction with Nastia here.
He’s actually improved in his coaching since then if you see how he and his wife coaches Konnor it very much like how he coached his own daughter if not slightly better so I think he’s definitely learned from his mistakes in the past
Nastia is really outstanding.I really enjoy her performance, in best traditions of Soviet classical gymnastics, with clear lines, athletism as well as artistism. Her father was also very famous athlet and talented gymnast, Valery Liukin. He was born in Kazakhstan, he represented Dinamo sport club of my home city (Alma-Ata), but later he moved to Moscow, and then to the USA with his family. It was a crazy time for former USSR (90-s).
She improved so much by the Olympics!! 😮😊❤🎉
My favorite gymnast, I love her.....unique ❤
Nastia Liukin is always there for perfection:)
Best performances: *Vault:* All-Around competition
*Bars:* Event Final
*Beam:* All-Around competition
*Floor:* Event Final
She was one of the BEST!!! So was Shawn Johnson....can you please do a series like this for her, too? 🥰
Shawn was great too, but (correct me if I’m wrong) she didn’t win anyhwhere near what Nastia won.
@@sallygreenfield6991 Then yeah, they definitely need to do a video like this for Shawn too. I second your idea completely. 👍👍
@@LucienSabre she won 4 medals at 2008 Olympic: Gold (balance beam) and silver (team, all-around and floor exercise). 😊
@@LucienSabre Commenting idiocy just because huh? Google is free. You could’ve found out Shawn’s accomplishments BEFORE commenting🙄
@@fixthatface483 And you could've read the whole discussion before posting your ridiculous (really, your insults are nothing but laughable) comment - which is the only idiocy here. 🙄🙄
С удовольствием пересматриваю выступления Насти. Идеально сложена, красива! Сложнейшие программы. Равных ей не было, нет, и наврядли будут. Эталон!
Ну, это вы перегнули!! Были Латынина, Турищева!!!
Надя Команечи,Светлана Хоркина!!!!Десяточницы!!!
@@СветаЛлл-э5з Были Ольга Корбут, Нелли Ким
Еще Были Елена Шушунова, Богинская Светлана, Светлана Хоркина, ОКСАНА ЧУСОВИТИНА 8 ОЛИМПИАД, и др.
I love watching Liukin in any event. She just kicks.
Потрясающее исполнение! На всех снарядах.
Those LEGS!!!🤩 That GRACE! That ELEGANCE!
Красиво, уверенно ,умница и красавица ! Настя, удачи в жизни и любви !!!
And let´s remember she scored that 16.900 which was the highest score of the competition!
Woww!!
I forgot how high the scores back then could be, nowadays breaking the 15.00 is considered a challenge. But I prefer the 8 element code to the 10, gymnastics is much more interesting with only 8 elements being counted.
She 100% should have won gold on UB. She was underscored on that occasion IMO
I've never seen a gymnast be this clean in all events. Her form was absolutely impeccable and so beautiful to watch.
Это настоящая гимнастка приятно смотреть а не Байлз.качок
Наверное, Настя Лукина.
@@ЕкатеринаПлатова-ъ9й ей так родители сократили фамилию, чтобы звучало " по- американски"
Класс, молодчина! К тому же прекрасно сложена, хрупкая, изящная, красавица!
She's my favorite gymnast! I like Simone Biles and her gravity defying gymnastics and enjoy watching her, but I just like Nastia more!
Me too, Nastia is spell binding with her perfect form and lines that go for days. She was powerfully elegant.
Nastia,one of my favorites of all time! You make America proud!👏👍♥️
Красоточка!!! Куколка!!! Вот это настоящая гимнастика!!!
That vault in the individual AA was perfection.
Моя любовь к спортивной гимнастике началась, после ее выступлений на олимпиаде
Изумительно точно и красиво.
Nastia luikin is and always will be a queen of gymnastics !! Her elegance and grace is just breath taking to watch !! Her body lines are stunning and I love her toe point !! Love this lady so much
NASTIA LUIKIN GYMNASTICS QUEEN FOREVER !!!❤❤❤❤❤
When I saw Nastia for the first time I was drawn instantly to her she is the best gymnast in my opinion
This was by far my fav Olympic Games.
You can hear her teammates cheering her on during the bar routine❤😢❤
First of all - love the slow-mo parts where we can really see the more intricate/fast spinning moves. But also, at 7:28 - does anyone know why they don't pull that blue mat closer to the low bar? It seems like it would be so easy to trip over it and ruin a dismount that would've been good otherwise like what happened at 1:40 (don't know if she fell b/c of her own mistake or b/c that mat was right there).
She has the best form.
Love, love, love this girl's grace and beauty. Beautiful lines throughout all her routines. Always the toes pointed. Polished. One of my most favorites to watch.
Великолепно : сила и пластика ! Брава! 👍
behind Nastia now is Simone turn!
Wow hats off her her! She's a truly a great American pride as Olympic legend.
I always love her dismount on UB, iconic but unpredictable
Nastia sempre impecável em seus movimentos. Muito concentrada e nunca falhava. Muito difícil ter atletas tão completas assim. 👏👏👏👏👏
So graceful! My all-time favorite!
I always wonder what Nastia could have done had she pursued her mother's sport. She is built for rhythmic gymnastics but her elegance and power turn her gymnastics into works of art. She's truly poetry in motion and I feel lucky I was able to watch her while she was in her prime and competing.
I get the sense that Nastia thrives on competition and on mastering advanced technical skills. I'm not sure rhythmic gymnastics would have kept her interest. Not that rhythmic gymnastics doesn't take skill and practice, but it isn't the type of skill that gives you an adrenaline rush and keeps someone determined to tackle the next problem.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Queen of gymnastics NASTIA
QUEEN NASTIA! There are a lot of awesome guys and beautiful women in gymnastics, and Nastia is at the top of the list. 😊🥰🌹👊🏾💙
Lovely girl beautiful young lady ❤
She's amazing and I'm struggling.. That's not the typical usa concerns about lines, finishings, bodies work etc.. But should be.
Eu vi a Liukin ao vivo a 13 anos atrás... E a 14 anos atrás aqui no Brasil nos jogos Pan Americanos... Ela deu um show realmente
Ela é bonita pessoalmente?
@@emanuelalvesmendonca141 muito
Just lovely!!! So much hard work!
5:43 the little smile ❤❤❤❤❤
one of a kind
Aliya Mustafina and Nastia Liukin are my all time favorites in Women's artistic gymnast.
She stuck that beam landing every time but the last...other than that it was FLAWLESS! She's gorgeous to watch
Unfortunately, that cost her the gold. But Shawn Johnson was amazing and well deserved it too
When it comes to vault.. She always nailed her landing. 💯💯💯
An incredible gymnast, one of the greatest ever!
Очень талантливая и обаятельная!!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Amazing gymnast
Nastia The Best FOREVER!!! Top 1 !
My best vídeo's channel with Nastia #1
Congratulations ur awesome luv u girl
If not for her injury in 2006, this would have been the expectation for her at 2006 and 2007 Worlds too. So glad she was able to regain her form in 2008.
Russian school of gymnastics Love it
Бывшая россиянка Настя Лукина эмигрировала с родителями за границу. Ей не нашлось места в сборной. Круто, да.
Анастасия Валерьевна Люкина дочь чемпионов из СССР - гимнаста из Казахстана Валерия Люкина и гимнастки Анны Кочневой. Родители эмигрировали в США, когда ей было 2,5 года. Валерий основал собственную гимнастическую академию и был тренером дочери. Так что не надо распространять дезинформацию, о том, что места ей в России не нашлось.
@@Olga-bl6jd в одном из интервью Валерий Люкин сказал, что вопрос о выступлении за Россию стоял, но был отклонен Россией из за иммиграции. Так что читайте внимательно не только википедию.
TH-cam предлагает к просмотру ролик с гимнасткой с русской фамилией. И первый же комментарий на русском языке создаёт ложное впечатление о том, что талантливую спортсменку вынудили эмигрировать, да ещё и с родителями. А история совсем другая. И о том, за какую сборную выступать. Это вопрос договороспособности. Что он хотел ,и кто и что был готов дать. Где дали больше, с теми и договорились на тот момент.
Her vault was perfect!
Beautiful young lady ❤
I still think she should have gotten a gold on bars. THEY TIED. They both should have gotten a gold. The tie break rules are completely ridiculous. SAME SCORE IS THE SAME SCORE. FIG needs to remedy the tie break practice.
This is the height of beauty achieved by the human race.
Настя Люкина, так будет правильно, ибо её папа советский гимнаст Люкин, а женские фамилии заканчиваются на "а". Настя русская!!!
Русские в России живут и за Россию выступают. Корни русские, душа американская.
@@ИннаГончарова-с8г так я с вами и согласна. Удрали в америку.
@@ИннаГончарова-с8г я имела ввиду здесь окончания фамилии, подстроились американских евреев
@@СветаЛлл-э5з а, ясно))) замаскировались они)
@@ИннаГончарова-с8г Ну да, Настя _шедевр маскировки.
I love Nastia!!
Now this is real artistic gymnastics
The Best female gymnast.
QUEEN CHELLSIE IS GONNA COMPETE SOON OMG
@Gymnastics Incredible if we can’t have Nastia then it’s awesome to see another of out favorites of this time try to come back.
So what? I think you commented on the wrong video.
@@LucienSabre lol people can comment whatever they want + it is related to gymnastics and a 2008 Olympian, so I suggest you just scroll past if you have some problem.
@@nondescriptbeing5944 ROFL Testy much? @@nondescriptbeing5944. LMAO
To quote your own words: “people can comment whatever they want”…..but I suppose for you that’s valid only for people who are not in disagreement with you. LOL
@@LucienSabre No, just saying you don't have to expend the effort, friend.
as a retired gymast, she'd make a great dancer
Now simone biles also had 5 medals in one olympic games, and 4 of them are gold.
She’s amazing. My favourite US gymnast with Shawn Johnson
