Nastia Liukin : 2009 Visa Championships : Beam : Day 2.

[Stonymypony]

Did she grow cause it looks like she did. She must be 5'4'' now...or it could be the camera angle.

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

for a gymnast who didnt have much practice this is awesome

[dragonman04]

Beautiful is the key word here.

[zinnastia]

Why all the gymnast when they stop the trainning becoming fat enough?? I don't say it about Nastia, she has an amazing body now, I say it for the others, for example Shawn Johnson...

[chinghxd]

@zinnastia wow i know your comment was one year ago...but you sure are damn ignorant. if you train 5/6 days a week and all of a sudden stop...there are consequences to that....mainly muscle mass drops. People who think like you need to get their head out of their ass and think about what you ask before asking it....you just sound so silly. I met Shawn this yr....and she is nothing but hardcore muscle.

[wowzaaxo]

damn she grew. she useed to be so petite & her legs were like tooth picks!

[MKsports13]

omg I LOVE that leotard!!!

shes so good! :)

[webinuri]

i hate when ppl say she gained weight.. this is why there are so many ppl with eating disorders she hasn't gained weight she had gotten taller and began developing like every girl does..

[ilovehedgehogs1]

@webinuri i agree with 100 percent!

[leeny11]

why did she get such a low scoore?

[ASPaez1965]

She is an amazing gymnast she meets all the expetations of a gymnast

[Sublue]

I'm so glad she decided to continue with her career and not go Hollywood. It shows that "older" gymnasts can still be awesome!

[rebecca4717]

Nastia could do this routine in her sleep! I don't think she was nervous because of her slightly different body type (she still looks fabulous), I think she was nervous because Evan Lysachek was there watching her. I think that's more pressure for her...

I love Nastia. She really is something special for gymnastics and beyond the sport. A true star.

[MrHappymonkeyfish]

i think that she looks stronger, almost like samantha peszak and shawn johnson. i think it mkaes her look better too!

[thesecret14]

i'm not saying this comment in a negative way, because i am a hugeee nastia fan, but i think that the reason that she was shaky in this competition was perhaps because she gained some weight. your body has to re-adjust and get used to balancing a different quantity of weight when you gain weight, which makes it harder to be able to hold up your whole body weight with your muscles.

i don't think it's necessary to mention her weight in a rude way, this is just an observation.

[Rebeccabwfc]

She actually looks prettier with a little bit of extra weight on her

[ffalcons102]

@Rebeccabwfc i agree. she looks healthier in my opinion. i think it shows that you dont dont have to be an absolute stick in order to perform the stuff she does.

[lisapizza16]

@Rebeccabwfc Lol thats what I've said. Just looks nicer on her. 

[olke3]

this is a really good video of her! she is just amazingly amazing!

[gymnastlady]

idk

[scatteam2]

y didnt nastia go to world champs?

[scatteam2]

why didnt nastia go to world champs?

[glenndelossantos15]

The dismount. Was that a double or a triple?

[xTorresGirlx]

double.

[Caitlyn13Cutie]

@glenndelossantos15 it was a double

[02kitty20]

she's wot a gymnast should be: highly skilled, elegant and beautiful to watch =]

[mrflipz]

iddekay imnot really feeling the connections after the onodi. maybe she should after the side somi do the aerial. then do the switch ring, then the onodi jump and walk to the other end...?

[turnfloh1984]

in background, this is steliana nistors floor music????

[amzluvsgym]

man, she floats that free cartwheel.

awesome. :)

[flip4u02]

lol just kidding i could do it on the floor lololo

[mandmgymnast3]

i think she did O.K. for not competing for a year. i was hoping she would be doing her liukin and the same routing as beijing but i understand she hasn't been training full force for almost a year. but she still has gorgeous lines, tumbling, and dance.

[eMthegymnast]

she did the liukin on day one

[willsbob123]

She didn't. You probably watched her day 1 in 2008 Nationals.

[djmbjork]

um...no she didn't. it's a useless skill now and she didn't do it once at nationals

[linihan]

yeah she did the LIUKIN but not at nationals...

she did it on the COVERGIRL

[willsbob123]

Could anyone work out this. If Nastia connected her Onodi to her Aerial, and put the sheep in after the ring leap. And having a triple twist dismount, what would her S.V be according to the 2009 COP? I really would like to know?

[djmbjork]

i would sooner be capable of a triple full of bb than nastia would

[willsbob123]

At the age of 34...OK. And even if that isn't your age, you need to grow up, 'cos you're a tad bitchy.

[djmbjork]

you're right...and i hate to break it to you but i'd sooner be competing the all around at this years worlds than nastia would. she might be going to worlds but for nothing more than bars and maybe beam....but the all around is not in the cards this year for nastia

[willsbob123]

I am right about your age lol! But you're right, she probably won't compete all-around. I think you mean she's more likely to compete on beam at world's because she did at Nationals.

[gymnastics12]

HA what??? Ok first of all, your need to fix this comment because the sentence structure is WRONG!! Second of all, i don't see you out there! If you claim to be so good as to be able to do a triple full off of beam before nastia then why is there no one but you who knows that! oh because your not that good of a gymnast! Get a life before you bash others, dumb!

[djmbjork]

wow! you told me, didn't you? YOU'RE really knowledgeable about YOUR gymnastics. my self worth is really shot now. i guess YOU'RE right; YOUR schooling has really taught me a lesson. YOUR ability to detect sarcasm is almost as amazing YOUR knowledge of grammar and, in light of that, i have to say YOU'RE the winner here

ps - it's precisely the reason that i CAN'T do a triple full off bb that proves my point (in other words NEITHER ONE OF US WILL BE DOING TRIPLES OFF BEAM...NOW OR IN THE FUTURE)

[gymnastics12]

:) careful with your word choice because the context could seem paradoxical!

[alexatornrose]

I considered the connection of onodi+front aerial+bhs+layout step out and the connection of the ring leap to the sheep jump and with a triple it would be 6.6. but watch out cause she didn't do the switch ring leap here and the connection of a switch ring leap to a sheep jump looks very unrealistic to me. if I got you wrong and no connection of a ring leap to a sheep jump , then 6.4

[willsbob123]

@alexatornrose Thank-you so much! :D I was just interested because her D score is only 5.6 here, and it's such a surprise that if she performed all them elements and connected them that she'd gain a full point; including the triple. I hope she comes back this year, I see her having yurchenko full (As she isn't quite ready for the 1.5) Her bars is a very difficult place to gain difficulty as there are so many skills that you are allowed to do, I think she'll have a 6.8+ D score for bars.

[flip4u02]

i can do this routine

[BellaLiukin]

of course you can. :)

[legalglitz]

@BellaLiukin - It's not what she does. It's how she does it. That's what makes her Nastia.

[gymnastics12]

get out there then!

[girliciousgroup123]

@flip4u02

[TheGymnasticFanatic]

@flip4u02 You might be able to do it... but i dont think that you can do it as good perfect and precise as her.

[Foxdye3]

@flip4u02 r u an elite?

[peaceluvcheer97]

@flip4u02 If you could, you would be in the olympics, not on youtube

[creamyjj5]

@flip4u02 ofc u can but u will fall off the beam i guess.....

[XxjceeT6xX]

@flip4u02 Ew, no you can't.

[12gymfreak]
