After reading her book and hearing about the shoulder problem (from overuse thru the yrs) needing surgery I'm more impressed that she was able to accomplish what she did. I'm glad she tried so she wouldn't have a seed of doubt that she could have helped the team. They didn't need help in the end though!
Class, grace and beauty throughout. And always more fight than you'd think by looking at her. God Bless that crowd in San Jose for sending her off with the respect and appreciation that she has earned over a legendary career, it obviously meant the world to her. She is one of the all time greats and my personal all time favorite. NYU will be lucky to have her.
AWWWWW.... Don't cry Nastia, even though you didn't make the team, you are always our idols, your legacy in gymnastics will last FOREVER :). Little girls will always look up to you :)
Seeing Nastia cry makes me sad:( I don't like seeing her upset:( Nastia is still the most beautiful spectacular gymnast as she was in 08 when she won the All Around gold. And still the best gymnast in my eyes.
Nastia is a legend, I just wish the best for her. She is truly amazing! She's gonna have an amazing future and what an amazing end of career she had with his dad and a lot of fans supporting her :)
Nastia is an inspiration to everybody! She has won 9 world medals and 5 Olympic medals including the AA gold medal! Nastia is a great sportswoman and one extremely tough athlete! And I doubt in any day of our lives that you could pull off such a thing! Show some respect!!!!!
I have a lot of respect for Nastia, but her comeback was very confusing. It was fantastic to see her compete at this level again...but she must have known that if she wanted to contribute to the team, she needed to start training sooner than she did. Experience would be amazing to have on the team, but we needed her training and building on her 2008 skills- she would have been an incredible asset. But, Nastia and Shawn are both really young and did great in 2008, so I understand their post-2008.
I wish she didnt quit after this year. I wish she decided to come back for the next olympics! This is one of the the strongest woman ever. Finishing that bar routine was incredible. you don't see that in many people. I would never have the guts. but she did, and that is what counts.
Im so sad shes ending her career. It wasnt such a long journey for her. 2016 she will have a chance to prove something and make it into the olympics. She doesnt have to stop because shes not going to London. It takes a courageous person to get up and finish that routing after hurting her neck. Please.. Nastia, Dont leave us!!! :'(
Crazy competition when 18 years old is the peak/prime of your career. Results in a lot of pressure on some very young kids. Seems to have helped shape a wonderful young woman, though. A fighter indeed, I'm sure she'll be successful in whatever she pursues in the future!
I think that Nastia is a true role model/inspiration to anyone. She deserves a ton of respect for all that she has accomplished. Many people have said that she is a great person and did you see her comforting girls she was competing against during the trials? It takes a strong person to do that and to get up and finish her routine with her head held high. I do not know her personally, but either way I see no reason to say anything like that to anyone.
She's amazing, I feel sorry for her. I'm sure that if she didn't start training for London too late, she could be on that team. What a pity she doesn't want to try for the next season, I mean, she's not that old.
she ism a great gymnast. one of my favorites. You shouldn't have said that. How would you feel ending your career by falling? it not cool you said that. Nastia is an inspiration and everyone should know that. Everyone deserves respect.
I think a lot of people on RUclips and other media outlets have been very rude and unfair to Nastia in her attempted comeback to the sport, and have forgotten that she was the darling of the 2008 Olympic Games! Her goal was to fill a void on the U.S. team for UB -- which unfortunately, didn't work out for her. Regardless of her short prep time, most people don't realize what it takes for gymnasts to give it their all. Love you, Nastia! You will forever be the Queen in my heart!!
Well Nastia was right, the girls beat up the rest of the world at the team finals. I think Nastia has the character to write and choreograph some good routines down the road. She's positive and will make a great coach should she go that route. She turned into a great young lady.
Wtf, It wasn't a fail. She had already successfully achieved making the team and winning a gold at the Olympic in 08. Even the best fall down sometimes. You can't shine forever. Amazing, amazing gymnast. I freaking love her. She'll definitely be missed.
I agree with you that it's probably sadness, but maybe chandlarpeaches meant a tiny bit of happiness because her career was so great and she had standing ovations, which made her emotional in a good way.
@everlivingwriter stop commenting that let the girl live her life the world doesn't need haters like you doubt she did anything to you. Calm down she fell gymnasts fall it's common.. So go away because nastia is a true talent and shouldn't have haters like you saying anything bad about her! Love you Nastia!
Gymnastics is definitely a hard sport to attend the Olympics more than once especially for the women. There are so many new talents as well to compete with.
If only she started her comeback earlier she might have made it.But it still doesn't matter.She's only a handful of American women who have won all around gold.She has a lot to be proud of!
She's disappointed, but at least she is going to college and pursuing her dreams. She has big things ahead and she won gold and silver medals, so she doesn't have to feel bad. :)
I swear this dude under me must be my long lost brother or something. I literally said his last sentence in my head and then I see it in a comment. She fricken pwned
I don't even know shit about the Olympics, but from what I have heard, she is a really good athlete. What I don't get is people are sitting behind their keyboards calling her a failure and what not. Get off your ass and do it yourself. We would all love to see you fail harder.
Feel bad for her but she had a great career. Its difficult for girls over 20 to even compete with younger teens. And she's turning 23 so her chances of winning a medal were really far fetched. With that said, i think the new girl Jordon will excel. Go USA
Nastia is an amazing gymnast but she left it too late to start training for the 2012 olympics i think if she trained a lot earlier she would have had a much better shot at making the team
team is not decided by the all around, Price really did a great job but Maroney can score higher on vault and most importantly Maroney is pretty much a lock for the vault gold and that's sth that Price can't offer
it was so awesome when the american flag was raised up and the 2 russian flags were below it and the russian girls looked salty as hell. it was like the space race all over again.
And Gabby Douglus won the All Around with Aly Raisman taking home the bronze. I think Carly Paterson set a good luck trend for the All Around. She won it in 04, Nastia Liukin won it in 08 and now Gabby Douglus won it in 12
You can see the sadness in her eyes :(
What a class act. She is a true champion and will be considered one of the legends of the sport.
Damn i admire her depth, maturity, and class so so much. So beautiful inside and out. And her artistry will be remembered and appreciated forever

Nastia is so sweet. She’s ended her carrer with a standing up ovation. You don’t see that to often. Why? Because nastia is an icon.
Yes🙌🏻
It breaks my heart to see such a wonderful person get emotional!
Very classy and respectful
shes so beautiful and gracious. a truly wonderful human being
I love you Nastia. You inspire me.
Beautiful- I love her, what a classy girl!
Nastia is so inspiring. I love her
God I love her. This is pretty sad to see. I'm hoping for the best for her.

Awh she's all teary!! :| she's such a strong person and most definitely a fighter. She does have so much and she has achieved such amazing things. :')
Stop slamming Nastia. You have no idea what she's been through.
What a class act. A true athlete in every sense of the word. So proud she's one of ours. Go Team USA!
she's truly a fighter and inspirational. she illustrates to young athletes to persevere. she's amazing.
this made me wanna cry but at the same time put a massive smile on my face... there's nothing bad you should ever have to say about nastia
She definitely wasn't happy here...just tuning out the sadness. I dreaded this moment!
Good luck in NY Nastia. You have your whole life ahead of you to accomplish great things.
Great poise after the fall. You made a good show. Best of luck on your future.
You will always be an Olympic AA Champion! ^ ^
Who in the HELL is talking in the background. Jesus christ it's all i can hear

nastia was my favorite gymnast. i cant believe shes ending her career
she inspires me
I'm in love with Nastia Liukin

She is beautiful, classy, and graceful. Her parents love her and support her. She will excel at anything she goes into.
Queen of Gymnastics

Thank you very much really ,because I was a little confused with the results and positions ...!!

It shows how hard she worked to get to where she was, no offense.
Awesome story, beautiful girl
im gonna miss shawn and nastia its gonna be weird not seeing them at the 2012 olympics
She’s got the balls to address this and just diva her way out and I admire her for that
Such class.
She's amazing, I feel sorry for her. I'm sure that if she didn't start training for London too late, she could be on that team. What a pity she doesn't want to try for the next season, I mean, she's not that old.
she is the most beautiful gymnast ever!
Nastia liukin is Shannon miller rivalry reason 12 years ago olympics trial injury tears.
I'm really sorry for her. I would have loved to see her in london.
she ism a great gymnast. one of my favorites. You shouldn't have said that. How would you feel ending your career by falling? it not cool you said that. Nastia is an inspiration and everyone should know that. Everyone deserves respect.
She's so gorgeous
Classy and still the best!
I think she should have stick around for another worlds but she had a great career and i can only hope for the best for her ! GO NASTIA :)

omg she is so pretty !
OMG! She's inspirational
No one can ever be Nastia and Shawn. That is impossible. No one can be exactly like another person
Well Nastia was right, the girls beat up the rest of the world at the team finals. I think Nastia has the character to write and choreograph some good routines down the road. She's positive and will make a great coach should she go that route. She turned into a great young lady.

@musiclover324 Ohh my gosh, I feel the same way. They were so amazing ..
Shes so pretty!
I agree with you that it's probably sadness, but maybe chandlarpeaches meant a tiny bit of happiness because her career was so great and she had standing ovations, which made her emotional in a good way.
); UGHHHHH, I wanted her on the team! That mishap really hurt her on the points );
Don't end your career I believe in you
Her wrist is like that because of the bars if leaves scars on your wrist
Hopefully, I meet Nastia Liukin in person one day.
Did it happen?
if she cries, i cry too:((
@everlivingwriter stop commenting that let the girl live her life the world doesn't need haters like you doubt she did anything to you. Calm down she fell gymnasts fall it's common.. So go away because nastia is a true talent and shouldn't have haters like you saying anything bad about her! Love you Nastia!
I'm curious if EverLivingWriter is a gymnast that competed against Nastia. Seems like an easy way to get aggression out...
yea true
2:41 pause and look at her wrist
she looked like she bout to cry.....i feel for her dawg

NY!!,
If only she started her comeback earlier she might have made it.But it still doesn't matter.She's only a handful of American women who have won all around gold.She has a lot to be proud of!
yea whats wrong with it so it has chalk adn marks from her wrist gaurds
She's disappointed, but at least she is going to college and pursuing her dreams. She has big things ahead and she won gold and silver medals, so she doesn't have to feel bad. :)
make a idiot question? after in the final results [maroney] did finish seventh why they is in team and price that finished fourth they is surrogate?
yeah, I realized that a couple of hours of posting the comment
The Nastia the better.
Then you wont go to olympic2012, right??
Well, she does have an olympic medal already so what more can you ask for I guess
I swear this dude under me must be my long lost brother or something. I literally said his last sentence in my head and then I see it in a comment. She fricken pwned
honestly do you comment on videos to get dislike?
aly riasman didnt win bronze...
I don't even know shit about the Olympics, but from what I have heard, she is a really good athlete. What I don't get is people are sitting behind their keyboards calling her a failure and what not. Get off your ass and do it yourself. We would all love to see you fail harder.

It does not matter which country she competes for. Technically, she competes for team USA .So really this was a win/loss moment for America.
I make fun of her a lot but that's because she's my second favorite lol. I cried when she fell off beam but I'm glad she had that ovation after beam.
what the heck is your problem?
Nastia is an amazing gymnast but she left it too late to start training for the 2012 olympics i think if she trained a lot earlier she would have had a much better shot at making the team

And Biles won it in 2016. The American team have been dominating hard.
happiness? she didn't make the team and then she decided to retire!
She looked like she started practicing a month before trials expecting to make it… I’m so embarrassed for her
girl falls face down and all ppl do is hate on her?! what's wrong w/ this world?!
@EverLivingWriter if u have nothing nice today don't say anything at all
stop slaming nastia she was an amazing athelete and you would be sad to if your life long career was ending
they were doing 100 interviews at once bad planning
Awwwwwwwww, I feel so bad for her. Whatever, she frickin pwned in Beijing.
