Nastia Liukin's mom watches her compete

Nastia's mom, Anna Kotchneva Liukin, a former gymnast herself (thanks to
NASTIAmessageBOARD for the correction), usually has trouble watching her daughter perform. This time she stayed in the stands, but it was difficult.

i dont get why she would ever not want to see her daughter compete in every meet...she is totally missing out.

I think - and who knows if I'm right - that was just nervous. As in "I can't look, I can't look - but I have to look..." Who know what kind of emotions go through her mind at that moment. It's intense, but also sort of sweet.

who was anna sitting next to? she kept like leaning into him-hopefully she knew him and he would have been like "crazy lady"...i wouldn't have minded sitting next to her though, i bet its kinda funny.

I don't think she knows him, since he barely looks at her. She's practically giving him a lap dance (albeit an unintentional one).

Thanks, I'll fix that.

no wonder she doesn't watch Nastia's routines. she's on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Mom relax your Nastia is an Olympic Champion

I was watching a video about Nastia winning gold in the 2008 Olympics- When they were trying to interview her she was busy trying to CALL her mom to let her mom know she won gold since her mom wouldn't come but her mom kept sending her to voicemail! That is ridiculous! Maybe she feels left out or something since Nastia and her dad are so close since he is her coach. Her daugter won GOLD and she was one of the last people in the WORLD to know- She said she heard "the good news" on the NEWS!

@trinitydancer0614 she went to the olympics just didn't watch them at the time...

It adorable to watch her "doing" the routine with her daughter. What a great mom who knows exactly what her daughter is trying to accomplish. "BRAVO MOM!!!"

[babylishee]

wtf do you mean

[cwassant19]

she looks like she's going 2 have a heart attack! no wonder nastia always tells everyone "um, my mom doesnt really like watching me compete..."

[crazynightsinparis]

so alike. :p

She did go to the olypics. She even did interviews with Nastia and Valeri once the AA final was over.
