Nastia Liukin - Floor Exercise - 2008 Olympic Trials - Day 2

[emily555ism]

casi todo tiempo esta yendo de una esquina a otra.

debe hacer ejercicios diferentes y originales asi como las gimnastas de antes.

[cocothedancer9]

she is really good i wish i was her and thati can do that

[ICONiacLOVE12]

O my shes so flexible .

[animaljamluver]

1:07 its a shame she stepped out.Her performance was beautiful.

[shajpunnoose]

@animaljamluver ikr

[shawnjohnsonfann1]

@sarahbarah4562 yes she could be a rhythmic gymnast but you should do what you love and that is why she is an artistic gymnast

[xIHeartYouMore]

dude she's legit... she's all legs

[ninzbean]

shes AMAZING.

[ElleKatey1]

she would have made a beautiful ballerina

[ninzbean]

she also looks so tall because her legs dont show as much muscle as other gymnasts

[asparaguslover44]

About her being "tall," it's really funny if you watch the movie stick it and compare her to the actors. She's on the tall side for a gymnast and she looks so short next to all the actors!

[randomsmilezzz]

that judge is so nice she clapped 4 shawn too i dont know about the others

[LilG2105]

This routine gives me goosebumps xD

[karjs11]

Looooooonnnnngggggg legs

[thexkatie15]

@oliplop haha I know she looks soo tall but she's only 5'2" or 5'3"

[oliplop]

oh my word shes tall

[RachelSimpsonMusic]

@oliplop

actually she is only 5 feet 1 inch

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@RachelSimpsonMusic She was 5'3" in 2008.

[jogalevel3]

@SaraPrincess112 she was just saying that she would probably be good at rhythmic gymnastics so u don't need to be so rude about it and i agree with her nastia would be good at rhythmic gymnastics

[Triny123abc]

i love this music

[kooshkack]

shes so long and lanky

[superabczyx2]

why doesnt she smile? :) :(

[thejadedancer24]

@superabczyx2 Probably because she is focusing on doing the routine perfectly.

[gymnastagirl141009]

Damn I live near phili!! If only I was old enough to care about gymnastics back then. I wouldve gone.

[djsquirrels5004]

if anyone even thinks about thinking about or has the nerve to post something that say nastia lukin is doing easy moves or easier moves that is . Nastia lukin is one of the most talented people in the world and id like to see you do a double front flip AND she puts the most effort in as any other gymnast even more !! she does a crap load of diffucult moves the only a few people can do so leave her alone

[mileycyrusroxsduh]

she is simply amazing ! & yes she made mistakes during the trials but she peaked at the perfect time - 2008 olympics <3

[renesmeeinez]

if only she had landed that at 1:08

[CrazyBabyMonkey5697]

at :52 if she had wobbled a little more her ankle could have seriously been hurt.. >.<

[livetolaugh21]

Alright thanks :)

[gymnastagirl141009]

@livetolaugh21 I'm sure it doesn't have a name... It's in my routine my coach calls it an arch jump

[livetolaugh21]

Does anybody know what the jump/leap I'd at 1:10?

[KatieShrimp2018]

@livetolaugh21 It can be called a ballet jump

[tmwalkerm]

@KatieShrimp2018 the name of it is a jete (pronounced Jet-AY), and yes its used in ballet.

[gamgeegirl87]

@KatieShrimp2018 In ballet it is called a cabriole. I have no idea what gymnasts call it.

[gymchick3345]

i love the eyes at the beginning :)

[houndscheer1996]

Whoa I just realized that she scored lower in the floor finals, and she stayed in-bounds then... weird.

[GymchampZW]

@houndscheer1996 Competitions in America tend to favor gymnasts from America, and the scores are slighly inflamed.

[ffalcons102]

umm...wheres her floor exercise from day one?

[laureliaa1]

i was with her in gymnastics

[starrystar100011]

I miss her soo much!!!

[IvalinaGeorgieva]

does anybody know song name?

[123444beth]

@IvalinaGeorgieva Variations on Dark Eyes by Lara St. John

[elliearnoldx]

her legs are awkwardly long.

[MichaelaLeach]

@elliearnoldx thats why she has such beautiful lines that everyone loves! :)

[TheJordy456]

pause it at 0:44 its so amazing how flexible she is!!

[R34lH0pe]

@TheJordy456 In my opinion she is the most flexible gymnast there ever was in artistic gymnastics

[clover13x]

shes so slender it always supprises me she has enough power and muscle to tumble lol i love her

[LoveGym96]

At the Olympic Trials are choosen gymnasts who will be in the olympic team?

[dcmaniac]

@LoveGym96 Usually, those who qualified will attend the olympic camp first with martha and then they pick from there

[ThePingShowJL]

What I prize on a gymnast besides grace, power, elegance etc. is long legs, cause I have long legs and it makes up much of my height, I have a medium/long torso s itdoesn't add my much to my height. I am 5"5 and still goring ^_^

[AwesomeNiks]

I have never seen a more graceful gymnast. Absolutely beautiful!

[luv4cookie1]

pause at 1:09 its hilarious

[gymnastics4EVERRR]

She's definitely more of a front tumbler, sooo graceful. Love it!

[Stonymypony]

I am not trying to be mean to Nastia but it really creeps me out how bendy her legs are. It just looks so unreal. 

[blueyedcutie63]

what is the scoring out of?

[natalienat518]

@blueyedcutie63 16.2

[jazzzyyxoxo]

she has amaaaazing leggs!

[kaytg89]

wow that was the best landing on the double somersault I've ever seen her have!

[LoliNana]

i like her legs :P and she is graceful and good to watching, but not the best in floor... i like more Shawn J., Alicia S., or some chinese girls :P (He Kexin)

[BABiiBx33]

i was there <3

[ADPiBeachBabe]

She has this incredible ability to look so graceful in what she does. She comes back after batling a ankle injury and she struggles trying to get her name back in the headlights, but she wins gold for ALL AROUND in Bejing. People, she is a truly amazing young woman. I'm very proud I had the chance to meet her in person.

[thesecret14]

i love how at 1:07, even when she steps out of the lines she still extends her leg like a ballerina. she is just SOOO naturally graceful!!!

[foreverlovegymnastic]

@thesecret14 to be honest with you, i don't think that looked graceful. i've seen many gymnast try to save themselves from falling out of bounds... i've even done that before.

[Mythologycrazy24]

tell me that is not a 10

[MaebySurelyBarely]

@Mythologycrazy24 It's not a 10 for these reasons: crossed legs on double twisting front, landing with feet staggered on the first run, cowboyed double front, crossed legs on 1.5 twisting front, step backwards out of 1.5 twisting front, out of bounds, crossed legs on 2.5 twist, lunging step forward on 2.5 twist.

[164307]

how does she fall!?!? she lands every thing perfectly! in what way does she fall?

[cutiehuiss]

I think what that person means is that she looses her balance a lot, I'm not being mean-although I like shawn better- But I agree, shes trying to work herslef to hard and then she gets all thinking I have to do this perfect and alll that and I believe that that makes her loose her balance :(

[msms68]

it seems like shes always trying to have the most perfect routine so she aways falls alot and steps out of bounds and has all of these erros because shes trying to hard to be perfect

[humphrey861]

Amazing double front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW!

[jhl2011]

@humphrey861 she gets that from her dad. :)

[kaytg89]

I know! awesome landing...I love how it kind of comes out of nowhere...with the graceful music and dance and twists and all of a sudden BOOM haha

[mrparke007]

such AUTHORITY on the landing of that double front... LOVE IT

[AsksOneThing]

Yeah, she sure nailed that sucker into place, with an arm flourish for emphasis. NICE!

[lindseylee77]

@mrparke007 yea she does huh? she always seems to own that double front landing! it's amazing.

[Vermontre]

i absolutely think she is amazing .......she is my idol cuz i am a gymnast and tall like her

[sarahbarah4562]

i bet she could be a rhythmic gymnast because she is so graceful and flexible

[ilovemynickjonas92]

@sarahbarah4562 her mom was one

[missfashion370]

@sarahbarah4562 Yeah She so Graceful and flexible but when you her in bars or in the beam ... you can understan why she is artistic gymnast and not a rhytmic gymnast !

[ArcInTheSky27]

I love the beginning of her routine!
