Nastia Liukin - 2002 U.S. Nationals Day 2 - Floor Exercise

[LeilaLilzMathy]

such long legs! perfect for an artistic gymnast :)

[TwisterFlipp95]

Is there a video anywhere of her bars from this meet? Because one of the first things you read about her young career is how she fell on the event at this meet and she couldn't finish...I'm interested in seeing it because that doesn't sound like the Nastia we all know and love.

beautiful routine and very difficult, but where was her multiple somersault? don't they have to perform both twists and somersaults?

[purple11894]

@LMA629 if by multiple somersault you mean two connected together than her first past is a front handspring, front layout, and then a layout twist (not sure how many there are)

[LMA629]

@purple11894 no, by mulitple somersault I mean like a double back, double pike, full-in, etc.

[FlicTuckFull]

@LMA629

No, that rule didn't come into place until the 2006 code.

[kras118]

[GymMonkeyAz]

I LOVE HER MUSIC!!!

[pkaye111]

where did she come?:)

[TaAdDybAaaR]

whats the name of this song ??

[Nasiir48]

Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Camille Saint-Saens :) Have it in my iPod.

[TaAdDybAaaR]

can you send it to me pleas ..

[Nasiir48]

Nastia always has gorgeous floor music, and her choreography has always been stunning. I love this routine.

[IGgymnast10]

this is just simply gorgeous. the best dance i have ever seen in a floor routine

[lashenova]

you should check out natalia illienko, the routine was her's originally back in the day

[xTorresGirlx]

@lashenova how many twists does she do on the 2nd pass?

[lashenova]

@xTorresGirlx

three, she does a triple twist.

[TuesdayPillow]

You must not have seen a lot of floor routines in your time. Nastia is great and this dance is good for her age and the times but it's still the typical WOGA posing for the most part.

[IGgymnast10]

wtf. please shut up

[Gr33nkiwi]

@IGgymnast10 The best dance you've ever seen in a floor routine? Seriously? Nastia's dance is terribly boring, especially during Beijing. Anna Pavlova has much better dance than Nastia ever will.

[lilyia1]

@Gr33nkiwi Anna is fat!!! She's weighty and so so hard to see!!!You got to be kidding!!

[Gr33nkiwi]

@lilyia1 I'd rather my gymnasts be fat than have disgusting double fronts.

[lilyia1]

@Gr33nkiwi That's because it disgusting that Nastia have nine worlds medals and five olympic medals and ... The others??

[Gr33nkiwi]

@lilyia1 Yes, it was very difficult to win AA in one of the least competitive Olympics ever.

[lilyia1]

@Gr33nkiwi You crazy?Why Anna did not win?She was there. She was in five finals and di not any medal!! You don't like the americans or are jealous because Nastia compete for US?

[Gr33nkiwi]

@lilyia1 I was cheering for the Americans ... :/ So obviously I like them.

That doesn't take away from the fact that 2008 was a very weak field.

Nastia had the difficulty, but Anna had the style. Pavlova is,was,and always will be a more ~true~ gymnast than Nastia.

[lilyia1]

@Gr33nkiwi The results says other thing. But, no more comments.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@lilyia1 Because Pavs DOESN'T code whore like Nastia. Pavlova focuses on execution, not code-whoring D scores.

[lilyia1]

@Gr33nkiwi You like Anna, I like Nastia. That's all.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@lilyia1 I like Anna and Nastia. I just know which one is cleaner.

[AndreaOcasio1]

she was so good at the age of 12 their.

[jewelsbabe9]

ahaha she is so tiny and cute!

[gymweb]

[hibbs431]
