  • can somebody tell me the name of this music??

    please!! ^^!

  • Ok well USSR is RUSSIA!!!!!

  • Great routine! she did well to tie for 1st place. One of my favourite Rhythmic Worlds...

  • @kuddygymnast12 No. Her dad is from Kazahk USSR.

  • @taydev2007 Being from Kazakhstan does not make him Kazakh. Russian is an ethnicity and a language, not a nationality.

  • she looks JUST LIKE HER DAUGHTER! Or her daughter looks just like her mother haha.

  • nastia has the same body of her mum..

    hihi:D

  • nastia looks like anna a lot

  • no creo que anna kotcheneva deva ser conocida como la mamá de nastia liukin sino como la campeona de 1987 ! no cren?

  • woah she looks so much like her mum

  • I wonder if Nastia could have been a good rhythmic gymnast? i don't wand to sound bad but really RG is so hard to make a spot among the elite... is more centralized

  • @buntonboy i think she could have done it :)

  • @showjumperluvr4 it would have been nice to know it... but really, we all know that in RG is more difficult to get a spot that in AG... it's awful to say it, but the truth is that here means a lot the politique (irina vinner)

  • no wonder nastia is like a ballerina!

  • Nastia and Anna could be twins.

  • Nastia is all like heerr!

    and valery is so hott! xD

  • I think RSG-back then-was a bit more boring than it is now.Now it is much more demanding,much more difficult!!!!

    BTW Nastia's body shape is even more beautiful than Annas'.....

  • the only "all-american" people on the planet are Native Americans. This debate is silly, everyone here that isn't a Native American is a decendent of immigrants. Kevin Tan was born here, btw.

  • Nastia and her mother are very similar, including how to move, and physical.

  • Now I know why Nastia is very special .. is that it has a very good combination of genetics ... He brought out the best of both. It is a rare combination .. is perfect. All children would have to be this way ... with power, genetic, and some smart parents know that successfully exploit.

    Perfect family.

  • The music is "le ça ira" Edith Piaf.

  • whoa, i guess gymnastix is in nastias blood lol

  • you are so good

  • her mom is just beautiful its a shame she got sick right before the olympics

  • her LEGS. omfg

  • this must be really old due to the quality. an oldie but a goodie in my opinion.

  • wow she's amazing! and she looks EXACTLY like nastia!!!! and i really love the music! anyone know what it is? and this is awesome thanks for putting it up!

  • Mother Liukin might have invented the "bitch I will cut you look" but it was her daughter Nastia who Perfected it.

  • @starwberry301 lol. so true

  • her mum is so beautiful with such a nice bodyline.. i think her mum is better than nastia liukin.

  • nastia looks exactly liike ha moms

  • Beautiful routine

  • Oh my goodness she looks just like Nastia!!

  • HER MOM is also as good as nastia

  • The gold medal runs in the family. Thanks for sharing!

  • Omg, I'm surprised I've never heard of her! She's really good =D and I love her music!

  • wow she's good. and nastia looks so much like her :] haha but wow RG is so beautiful to watch.. and i love this music!! does anyone know what it is?

  • i really wish RG could go back to the 80's...it was so much fun to watch then

  • She looks like nastia here

  • Shouldnt it be nastia looks like her here? :S

  • Nastia is the one looking like her actually..;-)

  • nastia's so lucky to get her mom's elegance nd grace nd long lines! i think its interesting how nastia looks like her mom, but all her facial expressions are like her dad's

  • It must be incredible to have video like this of your parents!

  • nastia and her mother are like twins both very talented beautiful and look exactly alike.

  • man, when she does any of the skills where she completely splits her legs, she does it so smoothly it looks so easy when i know it isnt!

  • I love that Nastia has her mother's lines.

  • wow that sucks she was so good but i guess Nastia is winning all the medals for her...

    I think Nastia wanted to represent the USA because she came here when she was very young 2 years old so she basically grew up here...(in a bible belt state)...so she considers herself American and a proud one...plus she trained with gymnasts like Carly who were going to compete for the USA not with the Russian gymnasts were ever they train...

  • how come her mom never went to the Olympics?

  • she had chicken pox or measles or something

    some kind of illness - shame :(

  • Comment removed

  • Nastia won the genetic jackpot

  • Now I know why Nastia has got that really BEAUTIFUL lines! Awesome! :)

  • I really believe that Nastia should have represented her own country. RUSSIA.

  • Seriously?!?!?!? Nastia is an All-American Girl! The only thing Russian about her is her style....other than that - SHE'S ALL AMERICAN!

  • well, don't get me wrong, but how can you answer this, if my mom is russina, 100% and if Dad Is russian too, and I was born in Russia, how come i can wind up representing other country? Don't be upset i am just questionin'

  • u dont have 2 be born in a certain country 2 represent it u dont even have to live in that country

  • @jmburry Hi, Nastia was born in Moscow in 1989 under the name "Anastasia" (the name she uses in international competitions that weren't the Olympics) for the last two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. She is not "ALL-AMERICAN" as you so state. If you think about it, no one is because Americans are a combination of many ethnic groups (like how Alicia is Italian and Bridget is probably Irish). Just to say she's more Russian she was invited to the Aleksei Nemov show in 2006.

  • @ChainChomp2 she may have been born in russia, but she was raised and trained in the united states. and she is an "all-american girl." lol. she just is. it can't be helped. and the point of being american is that one can be from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and still be american. her parents left russia to pursue the all american dream and i think that their daughter representing the united states as a gymnast champion really embodies their dream and their success.

  • @amarieRenaissance Oh, so does that make Kevin Tan a white-all American if he lived in Taiwan and moved to California and intend to represent USA as a white American? The only all-american girl the media (and us, the majority gymnastics fans of all kinds) has addressed as that title to Shawn Johnson, most of us addressed Nastia as half-russian. Just saying "she just is" can't be helped that she IS half-russian and it shows you're just a biased patriot.

  • @jmburry she moved to the USA as a toddler.

  • @jmburry The truth is that Nastia has dual citizenship.She is both Russian and American, and she can choose to represent whichever country she wants to.

  • @jmburry Apart from having Russian parents that is ... And being born in Russia ..

  • @jmburry shut up american bitch she is RUSSIAN!!. STUPID AMERICAN DUMB, LEARN HOW JUMP WITH YOUR FAT ASS and don't steal our talent!

  • @GravityPowerful

    how can someone steal talent when they moved here on their own free will? get over it. communism fell. nastia's american...

  • @akademikn3rd82 SHE IS RUSSIAN. CAUSE RUSSIA IS THE BEST IN GYMNASTICS ,CAUSE RUSSIA WAS THE FATHER OF ALL GYMNASTICS, CAUSE ALL POWERFUL GYMNASTS ARE ALL RUSSIAN AND AWLAYS WILL BE!! NOOB

  • @GravityPowerful

    oh, you're so badass; getting angry and typing in all caps. i don't give a flying fuck, because like jmburry said: she's all american. i find it funny that before she won aa in beijing, no one said that she should compete for russia. now after all of her success, she should've competed for russia? please. america is a land made up of descendants of immigrants and slaves...the only people 'native' to america are the american indians. nastia represents everything about the usa.

  • @akademikn3rd82 GAY OR LEBSIAN FAT ASS ARE YOU, SHE IS BORN IN RUSSIA >>>>>SHE IS RUSSIAN<<<<<<<.SHE IS NOT LESBIAN OR GAY LIKE ALL AMERIC-ASS noobs people. FUCK YOU BITCH UNITED SUCKS OF AMERICA. SHE IS RUSSIAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE ,AND I'AM SURE THAT IF THE WW3 comming she will kill silencly all of your people dumbass.SHE IS Daughter of mighty soviet people, NOT YOUR GAY DICKSHEADS FAT SUCKINGS PEOPLE. SHE IS BLONDE ARYAN BEATIFUL RUSSIAN WOMAN not an UGLY American fat whore.

  • @GravityPowerful

    why so serious? rotflmao! i believe the word(s) you are looking for is either fag or dyke. 'gay or lesbian fat ass' isn't an insult to us, it's actually quite funny. well, i laughed at you at least. at the end of the day, nastia competes for usa. you can argue; get angry all you want to, but come 2012 if she's healthy and prepared, she'll be wearing red, white, and blue. get the fuck over it, you cum guzzling thundercunt. now that's an american insult. from me to you.

  • @akademikn3rd82 I said all, she is Russian. And no one American shit like you, can not contradict the high Russian intelligentsia. Australopithecus FAG. First get up from your couch with 800 kg and maybe we'll talk for now Nastia is RUSSIAN and RUSSIA IS STILL FIRST ON THE MEDAL TABLE OF GYMNASTICS.

  • @GravityPowerful

    omg...fag this. fag that. is that all you got? LMFAO! it's cool, though. i've made my point. you'll just have to continue to be a bitter bitch about it. just remember to hum the russian national anthem instead of listening to the american national anthem next time she's on the podium. good luck with that, fucktard. have a nice russian life! i'm sure nastia is enjoying her (rich) american life. good thing valeri got her out of that misery and wanted more for her.

  • @akademikn3rd82 Cry baby, I TELL ALL... SHE IS RUSSIAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE STUPID FAT BITCH. HOW DICKS YOU GET IN YOUR ASS? learn to get up off the couch. Nastia has Russian name, she is Russian, she is blonde like all russian woman, she is beatiful like all russian women, she is badass in gymnastics like all Russians women and men, she have Russian family and she can speak russian That always Russians know. Perfect spy to fool you all dickheads.

  • @GravityPowerful

    bitch, please. as much as you're riding my dick, i should call you a faggot. LOL! moreso, i can't understand what the fuck you're saying. your sentences are all over the place, literally. you need a new translator. until then, this debate is over. just because you say she's russian holds means absolutely nothing. so, please sit at your computer and continue to argue with me over something you have no control over. it tickles me when people look so ignorant over the internet!

  • @GravityPowerful

    russia is not first on the medal table, the soviet union is. the soviet teams were comprised of more than just russians. besides, since the break up of the soviet union, the only country that can say they dominated are the romanians. you choked in '96 and '00 at the olympics AND you only have 2 team medals since 2000. the only reason you won team last year is b/c larson fucked up so please don't be so high and mighty because you aren't as great as you think you are.

  • @akademikn3rd82 OOOOOMG DUMBASSSSSSSSS RUSSIA IS EQUAL TO SOVIET UNION FUCK NOOB RUSSIA =USSR USSR =RUSSIA. NASTIA IS RUSSIAN AND THAT ENOUGH STUPID AMERIC-ASS FAT GAY ^__^ bye noob

  • @GravityPowerful

    'RUSSIA IS EQUAL TO SOVIET UNION'

    LMFAO!!!!!! um, no it's not! not even close. russians weren't the only ones on those teams. the soviets had people from ukraine, uzbekistan, belarus, etc....those nations are not russia. and from what i heard, they get really pissed if you call them russian. how do i know this and you don't? who's the noob now, fag?

  • @akademikn3rd82 DUMBASS RUSSIA WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT REPUBBLIC OF USSR NOOB! RUSSIA -R.S.F.S.R -U.S.S.R are equal!! kazakistan and Belarus will near again part of russia in 2015 probably. NASTIA IS RUSSIAN AND AWLAYS WILL BE!!

  • @akademikn3rd82 She is American? PFF does not make me laugh! You fuckers are not even able to get up from a couch... PFFF ahhaahhaha. TOP 1 GYMNASTIC MEDALIST = U.S.S.R >RUSSIA

  • ??? Nastia is an US citizen.

  • @morenodelaorilla She's an American citizen, as are her parents. Why would she represent any other country? Dumbass....

  • @tmwalkerm hey dumbass, she was born in russia, mom and dad are russian, her grandparents are russion, nastia's mother tongue is russian, she grew up in Russia, now the question is why she is representing USA, idiot, read carefully.

  • @morenodelaorilla Buttplug, not according to her identification, her parents passports, or her citizenship. Do your research fuckwad.

  • @tmwalkerm I do it all the time and believe me, using bad words do not help at all, people use bad words or curse when they know they have nothing left to argue...

  • @morenodelaorilla Her father became an American citizen in 2000, that makes his child American DUMBASS. They live IN AMERICA, not RUSSIA. Get your mom to explain this to you since you don't seem to understand, once you're done fucking her of course....

  • @tmwalkerm using bad words and insulting do not make more intelligent dude... just read carefully and study more.

  • @morenodelaorilla She did not "grow up" in Russia. She moved here when she was three. Do you remember your life as a toddler? She is all Texan. America is a country of immigrants so if you go by your logic, America would have no Olympics Team at all. The only chance of her not competing for America is if Texas regains its independence.

  • @morenodelaorilla She hasn't lived in russia for years so why should she have gone back to russia to compete for them when she doesn't even know there team?

  • @morenodelaorilla technically, her father's from Kazakhstan so her home country's a bit ambiguous. Even if Nastia was born in Russia she was raised in the States. If Nastia had competed for Russia, she wouldn't have gotten as much attention.

  • @morenodelaorilla maybe i'm wrong but im pretty sure nastia speaks english most of the time, not russian.

  • @laurenBbyxx3 yeah Nastia was born in Soviet Russia and her and her family are all russian, but when the soviet union collapsed, when nastia was 3 i think, they moved to the usa and became american citizens. so she competes for usa as she is a usa citizen, even though shes actually russian!

  • @MissAnnaJanuary96 i know.

  • @MissAnnaJanuary96 She was born in Russia but her dad is actually from Kazahk USSR. I think her mom is Russian though.

  • now i see why nastia is so pretty

  • Nastia was soo lucky to inherit the genes of her mother!!!!

  • Since they are so similar, I wonder if Nastia could have done well in rhythmic. who knows.

  • she tried RG before switching to AG, it wasn't physical enough for her.

  • is she is even thinner than Nastia?

    I didn't know that was possible.

  • ya but her hips are a little bit wider than nastias

  • Nast has comparatively wide hips too though.

  • i think nastia's mom has the body of a rhythmic gymnast... nastia has more of a body of just a gymnast, but is similar to her mom...

  • they look freakishly alike, same long lines and everything!

  • I love watching this over and over!!

  • WOW!! nastia is just like her mother!! They have the same form when they preform and everything!

  • OMG nastia and her mom are like TWINS!! GOT THE SAME LEGS SAME FACE SAME BODY EVERYTHING!!!

  • Natalia Marakova is Nastia's choreographer- she choreographed 8 world and olympic champions including Nelli Kim, Svetlana Boginskaya, Tatiana Gutsu , Carly Patterson, Natalya Ilienko.

    heres a quote from Anna about the non watching thing after being hospitalised :

    'Well, am I ever going to be able to see her compete again?' " Liukin says. "That's what made her start watching me, thinking that she really wanted to see me perform and compete."

  • They look exactly alike!

    twins :]

  • It looks like Nastia's mum bodyshape is nicer than Nastia's. But Nastia looks a lot like her.

  • Really? I think they have the exact same body shape, so neither looks better than the other. Her mom is taller though, so I guess if you saw them in person her mother's body would look better.

    Nastia and Anna aren't daughter/mother, they're clones! lol

  • Hahahaha!! Yes, I do find the body shape of Nastia's mum is better. Her waist goes more in than Nastia's in my opinion. But they are both petite and their face are exactly the same.

  • @ SweetaRoxious- The reason Nastia's waist is wider than Mom's has everything to do with artistic gymnastic training/conditioning vs. rhythmic gymnastic conditioning. Artistic gymnasts have very-well developed shoulder, back & abdominal muscles - b/c they need tremendous strength throughout the torso. When the back & abs are so developed,it gives the appearance of having "no waist".

    Rhythmic gymnasts don't need nearly as much upper-body strength...they are trained more like ballet dancers.

  • Yeah, I know what caused it, but it's still true.

  • Beautiful Gymnast!

  • I know, well i mean, they lost fair and square it just seemed like team usa won't take silver and it made them look bad, they did awesome silver is amazing you don't need to make up reasons for not winning, thats just what i think at least

  • its weird to think that this tiny little woman would be preggers in 2 years...

    she is freakin amazing though!

  • Wow Nastia took the best from both parents ! lol

  • My god she's nearly identical to Nastia!

  • nasita nearly identical to her ...

  • I agree with Dreammissbehaved!!

  • She got a perfect 10 on this routine.

  • nice genes Nastia!!

  • rhythmic gymnast mom! artistic gymnast dad! wow I learned something new today!

  • whoa! mama liukin is GOOD!

    Nastia's hit the genes jackpot.

    Also, if you see some pictures of Anna, she invented the flesh-melting stare Nastia's got sometimes. Mama Liukin may have invented the "bitch I will cut you stare", but her daughter perfected it!

  • haha!

  • Is she coaching RG? If she's not, I'd be dissapointed. America is in desperate need for good, Soviet RG coaches! We didn't even qualify anybody for the 2008 Olympics.

  • I dont think she coaches anymmore. I know she designs Woga leotard and handles most of the office work. She use to help the US program but not anymore.

  • She should coach. The US rhythmic program is laughable compared to all the other disciplines in USA-Gymnastics.

  • wow gymnast family..amazing :)

  • In my opinion, Anna has more flair and elasticity than Nastia. Anna is a more compelling performer.

    Has Anna ever been involved in the choreography and training of Nastia?

  • i dunno cos her mum always leaves whenever it's time for Nastia to compete at a certain event. :)

    but yes. Anna has more flair. i think it is the difference between artistic and rhythmic gymnastics.

  • She was Nastia's first coach.

  • @Naomis - I see where you're coming from, but it's a bit unfair to compare Nastia's & Anna's performance. You're dealing with two different sports & two different eras. Rhythmic gymnastics has/had a lot more room for "flair" (especially in the '80s) - & they are specficially trained to be very flexible. Artistic gymnasts must be at least as strong as they are flexible, so that explains why Nastia isn't as flexible. (Still - Nastia is very flexible & fluid for a modern-day artistic gymnast.)

  • it's scary how much they look alike..

  • wow. she had nastia like 2 years later

  • WOW!! Is Nastia her mother's daughter OR WHAT? Now we know where Nastia got her style from.

  • This is why Youtube is the greatest invention of the 21st century

  • ah rythmic gymnastics that would have been interesting if nastia was in rythmic gymnastics

  • Nastia and her mom are both music box ballerinas....beautiful and graceful.

  • Wow, Nastia got her mom`s legs!!

  • She's a toothpick.

  • she looks like her daughter...

  • holy shit that was ridiculous. She didn't look human. We humans aren't that perfect.

  • wow! if I didn't know I could have sworn that was Nastia

  • igualitas!!!!

  • Nastia looks just like her mom.

  • isnt she gonna do any gym?

  • and nastia was born in 1989. her parents look like they're in teir late 10's only.

  • I miss the artistry of RSG...now it's a flexibility contest. :(

  • you can see the rhythmic gymnastics style in nastia's performances. what a talented family

  • I know huh...I also thought it would have been cool if Sasha and Nastia got together it would be like happily ever after ahhah

  • hell no nastia is mine!

  • this is one talented family! Congrats Liukin family!

    p.s. I think Nastia and Sasha Artemev should get together and make a super russian gymnast baby. They both are brilliant gymnasts.

  • LOL! I saw a video of Sasha doing his routine on pommel horse and I could definitely see what you mean!

    I could see Sasha and Nastia getting together too!

    Super Russian gymnast baby, lol I love it! XD

  • this was only 21 years ago! & nastia's mom looks so young, she had nastia two years after? wow.

  • That takes skill.

  • they look like twins!

  • Like mother like daughter =]

  • Yes, what is this music??? I want to learn to play it. Sounds like a live performance, the pianist is missing notes all over the place.

  • they have that same FLAWLESS body line...its just poetry in motion to watch. CONGRATS ON GOLD IN ALL-AROUND IN BEIJING!!!

  • wow, her mom was so amazing! i really wish she was at the olympics cheering her on

  • wait why isnt she there?
