1:11 - I think this is the shortest I've seen her hold the scale position, and I love how casual it makes it seem. Like "NBD, just flipping forward and landing on a 4-inch beam on one foot."
I still come back to this video. I love how she combines beauty with her gymnastics. There's elegance in her routine, plus she always mixes in a dose of girly fashion, like the bright pink leo here.
I thought she did it without any fear; if there was fear it clearly did not show. She was very fluid and had a lovely rhythm. You could clearly see she knew she could do it all and she has done it many a time before.
@TheCapicornGymnast I agree with some of that, but there's no reason to compare them. Nastia was meant for competition, and maybe Shawn wasn't. But they're both on the Olympic team, and I think they're both really good.
@misssilverstar03 Actually she was only 5' 1" in this, I'm the same height and I get called short 24/7 lol. She just has super long legs so it she looks taller than she really is.
@justineclarissa you would probably be with other beginning gymnasts who were within a year or 2 of your own age, though most gymnasts start when they are 4 or 5 i think.
She is amazing! I did gymnastics but hast to quit because of an injury, but now I'm 14 going back and worrying that I'll always be in a lower level! Any advice??
Tilly Down so skinny body types? You know if someone does a sport so difficult for there entire life there going to get bulky, especially if there body type is short and stocky, that's not there fault.
Actually, having more muscle mass helps in gymnastics a ton. Gymnasts need to be strong enough to endure difficult and long training every single day of their lives.
@madeline060 Yeah ! I know right, she reminds me like one of those pianist that sweep their tail on their coats when they're about to play. Her style is so smooth anyway, like classical piano music (;
Steliana Nistor did it first, but Nastia did it in World Championships so got it named after her:) Its not the first person to do it who gets it named after them, but the first person to do it at a Worlds or Olympics:) The tuck full on beam is called the Shishova, after Soviet gymnast Albina Shishova, who did it first in 1983 World Championships. The "Onodi" was actually done first by a Soviet gymnast called Olga Mostepanova, but Henrietta Onodi did it first at Worlds, so its named after her.
okay!! number 1- she is amazing!!! just looks amazing on the beam.. number 2-- what the heck is wrong wtih that beam that makes it so hard to focus hahaha
I find her body so funny. I hope I don't offend anyone but it always seems like she is so unproportioned like her legs are twice as long as her torso. And for a gymnast she is so tall!
that beam annoyes me...every time nastia lands that wretched beam makes the most irratating sound anyway Nastia is a great gymnast....she looks soooo graceful
am i the only one that finds the sound of landings on the beam super satisfying?
Me too lol
haha me too
meee
Same lol
Nastia in her prime has to be one of the best gymnasts of all time
She was excellent and professional.
No Shawn Jonson
Virginsuicde i agree, together with Shawn Johnson they're for sure the best gymnasts i've seen
Nastia, Shawn, and Chellsie!
@@morganmayrer583 both
This is one of the most beautiful beam routines I've seen! Nastia Liukin is such a beautiful graceful gymnast!
Потому что русские гены великого русского гимнаста.
1:11 - I think this is the shortest I've seen her hold the scale position, and I love how casual it makes it seem. Like "NBD, just flipping forward and landing on a 4-inch beam on one foot."
There's an echo whenever they land on the beam and when the crowd cheers.....
Watching this, I think she'd make an incredible dancer- Especially with contemporary!
She could be a less impressive Brooke Hyland
^ BYE
contemporary? she'd be an excellent ballet dancer
This routine along with hers at the 2008 Pacific rim championship were THE BEST!!
I still come back to this video. I love how she combines beauty with her gymnastics. There's elegance in her routine, plus she always mixes in a dose of girly fashion, like the bright pink leo here.
I thought she did it without any fear; if there was fear it clearly did not show. She was very fluid and had a lovely rhythm. You could clearly see she knew she could do it all and she has done it many a time before.
I love how graceful and smooth she is, like a ballerina.
Watching her is watching grace in motion. Not many have married athletics to art so harmoniously as she.
Its so odd to see a gymnast with such long legs
She's my inspiration..i strive to be her one day.
i love you Nastia!
Her Legs!!
that's what I was thinking. She's the tallest gymnast I have ever seen!
She is actually only 5"3
Taekwondisha Wonita actually not even that tall. It’s just because she’s slim which makes her look tall
@@audreycapinegro9479 She is tall compared to other gymnasts
that leo looks really good on her
Shawn is powerful but with nastias height, those lines are so beautiful!
her onodi is like a slinky
That arabesque was just perfect
How did she get .1 more than Shawn? Is it because of the landing on their dismounts?
M Lin connections
Love the sound of the beam when she lands on it
She’s so graceful...
@TheEverEssence but I love that! it seems like that's what it should always be. making incredibly difficult skills look beautiful and easy to watch.
OMG!! HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT SHE'S DONE ON 00:57 ?!?! I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT!!
NASTIA IS GREAT!!
@TheCapicornGymnast I agree with some of that, but there's no reason to compare them. Nastia was meant for competition, and maybe Shawn wasn't. But they're both on the Olympic team, and I think they're both really good.
@91andRWforever I completely agree. Watching Shawn is much more exciting in my opinion. However, like you said, they are both phenomenal.
0:13 is perfect flexability!!!! Also, her front arial is BEAUTIFUL!
anybody notice that in her front aerial ( 0:17-0:20 ) she doesnt bend her leg that she lands on as much as other gymnasts?
1:10 was so graceful. It was amazing
What routine of Shawn's were you watching.....she performs on beam like it's the floor. I'm not sure how much more stable you could get.
@misssilverstar03 Actually she was only 5' 1" in this, I'm the same height and I get called short 24/7 lol. She just has super long legs so it she looks taller than she really is.
@justineclarissa you would probably be with other beginning gymnasts who were within a year or 2 of your own age, though most gymnasts start when they are 4 or 5 i think.
She is amazing! I did gymnastics but hast to quit because of an injury, but now I'm 14 going back and worrying that I'll always be in a lower level! Any advice??
That was a beautiful routine! Nastia is great, lol. I suprosed me that she seemed to spin a lot faster on her dismount than she usually does.
that leotard is so pretty!!!!
Anything pink goes great with Nastia!
Go Nast!!!
how she’s beat Shawn is still a wonder to me
i've never done gymnastics before. if i started now, would i be in a level with little kids? i'm 11.
Why does she put her left hand in front of her right on the BHS if she's right handed?
The hand stand at the beginning was so cool!
she has a perfect body for gymnastics.I feel a lot of gymnasts these days look to heavy and not very elegant looking.
Tilly Down
Artistry in any form has kind of disappeared in the sport of artistic (ironic, though) gymnastics, sadly.
Tilly Down so skinny body types? You know if someone does a sport so difficult for there entire life there going to get bulky, especially if there body type is short and stocky, that's not there fault.
Actually, having more muscle mass helps in gymnastics a ton. Gymnasts need to be strong enough to endure difficult and long training every single day of their lives.
she makes it looks so easy
Such a beautiful girl
@mrszebrasproduction shes 5'3'' shes looks a lot taller though i think its because her toes are always pointed :)
@madeline060 Yeah ! I know right, she reminds me like one of those pianist that sweep their tail on their coats when they're about to play. Her style is so smooth anyway, like classical piano music (;
Wow 😨
0:58 does the twist side ways into that flip it looks amazing though
0:54, Just beautiful... LOVE IT!
She is so clean !
Ahah, @01:28, at the lower left corner, can you see some people going down the steps?
wow that was awesome when she did the front flip and landed on one leg
what is the name of the trick that she does at 0:57-0:59?
what is the trick at :56
Is her dismount a triple or 2.5?
Steliana Nistor did it first, but Nastia did it in World Championships so got it named after her:) Its not the first person to do it who gets it named after them, but the first person to do it at a Worlds or Olympics:) The tuck full on beam is called the Shishova, after Soviet gymnast Albina Shishova, who did it first in 1983 World Championships. The "Onodi" was actually done first by a Soviet gymnast called Olga Mostepanova, but Henrietta Onodi did it first at Worlds, so its named after her.
Gorgeous
Okay now I see the difference between nastia and shawn on beam...Nastia is so light on her feet and she executes the moves ina better way
She looks so beautiful in that leo
Nastia has longer legs than Shawn thats why Shawn always looks more powerful and Nastia look really gracefull. Shawn also has more muscle in her legs.
absolutely love move 0:57
@bbhouk1 Really? In an interview she said she was 5' 2"
@Gymnastics Are Fanstastics umm actually it helps to be shorter when you're in gymnastics. Most gymnasts you see that are tall say it's harder.
I can't even stand on one leg without falling!
What was her score?
She's only 5'2? She looks so much taller then that. I'm a gymnast and I'm 5'8..
@legalglitz The hardest part of any performance is making it look effortless.
0:48 abbs much?
she should connect something after the switch split ring leap!!
Her front aerial is my religion
I like shawn Johnson' beam routine (: an I like nastia's bars
okay!! number 1- she is amazing!!! just looks amazing on the beam..
number 2-- what the heck is wrong wtih that beam that makes it so hard to focus hahaha
@Missnewyork28 lolz, do you know anything about gymnastics
*having to turn the volume down when she lands, so i don't hear all the screams* :)
I know I'm used to seeing little Shawn
it's an illusion that we see because she's thin
I wish I could do that on beam...though I still think her bars are better :D
you can sense that Russian in her combined with the American strength... not a bad routine :)
if she sticks tht landin...... wow she would get a high score but i love nastia she is my favorite(:
I like this mount better than the new one
@daphnie58245 my handstand try on bb resulted in a sprained wrist
i just wish she would smile more..
I think thst is called tge liukin
Something Just Like This
She has a style of russian gymnast
Oh please Oh please Oh please be on the 2012 Olympic team!
she i awesome!!!
Nastia Liukin vs. gravity....and Nastia wins!
nastia is 5' 4"
i cn do the one leg part
shes best on bars, and shawn is best on beam
das some weird audio
ze wiebeld heel erg😯😯😯😯😯😯😋😋😋😋😋 ik zit ook op Turnen leuk hè
1:00 how the ef does she do dat????? -_-
despite her name, she's not nasty looking at all.
amazing
I find her body so funny. I hope I don't offend anyone but it always seems like she is so unproportioned like her legs are twice as long as her torso. And for a gymnast she is so tall!
SHES SO LONG AND LANKY!
The 11 people who disliked this have some funky brain disease!!
that beam annoyes me...every time nastia lands that wretched beam makes the most irratating sound
anyway Nastia is a great gymnast....she looks soooo graceful
Buetifull!
shes 5'3! :)
You can totally see a six pack of abs beneath that perty leo :P
