    nastias lines were to die for. she could've been a great rythmic gymnast or ballet dancer.

      Her mom, in fact, was a rhythmic gymnast in her youth in the Soviet Union.

      Her mom was not just a rhythmic gymnast, she was a world champion.

    Nastia Liukin is my top favorite gymnast. She epitomizes true grace, beauty, and elegance in all her routines. She was a born to be an Olympic Champion. Actually, I think she was the first Olympic All-around Gold Medalist under the open scoring system in gymnastics.

      You dont need to be all around gold medalist to be a good gymnast! If you use this logic, Aly Raisman wouldn't deserve that either, or Victoria Komova, or many other amazing girls who didnt win the AA!!!

      because that aint illegal. All because you think you have it tougher than someone doesnt mean you do and definitely doesnt mean you should go around bragging

    Could the US coaches train girls to be gymnasts like her instead of wrestlers!

      thats so rude. coaches play to the strengths of the athlete and their natural ability.

      @@Elong. Many girls have tall willowy parents. For basketball or ballet dance coaches and physicians select girls when they are very young. In the USA for WAG they select girls like Simone Biles. They could also let tall and willowy girls be top WAG athletes.

      @@GoldForAnna In the US the girls themselves decide if they want to become gymnasts or not. It’s not a government decision.

      Absolutely, but as Nastia told, when you are a thin child, everybody tell you “It will be very difficult for you to succeed in Artistic Gymnastics”, and great coaches won't be interested in loosing their time coaching you. In the US, if the parents have no money, and if they are tall and thin, their daughter won’t be an elite gymnast. Don’t you think so?

      She said her mom made her take piano and do other sports and she would be upset because she wanted to be in the gym. Gymnastics is fun!

      They both said they didnt and her at sixteen was clearly saying she does it for her self. theres a difference between force and establishing clear rules and boundaries
