Nastia has the beauty and grace of her mother, the steel iron precision of her father and the good ol' American spirit of a Texas teen.

The formula of a champion.

You can see where Nastia gets her elegance from

@ArtemisDianaSelene Well, a lot of things have changed in gymnastics since 1987, but she must have been amazing to win a world title in rhythmic gymnastics in 1987. :-)

she might not have the chance to win the olympics, but she gave birth to an olympic champion.

@Tumble4Life123 anna was born in 1970, and had nastia in 1989, so she was 19. I don't know if her and Valeri were married when they had nastia, because I can't find any marriage date on either of their wikipedia webpages

She is just okay. Many are better.
