- Watch as my Dad and I react to my 2008 Olympic routines! We’re talking about never-before-told moments like exactly what we were thinking during each event, which parts of our preparation we leaned on most, what my dad was REALLY going through while I was competing, and SO. MUCH. MORE.

Alternative title: "Valeri Liukin's being proud of his daughter for 30 min straight"
Valeri and Nastia were very respectful by not celebrating Nastia's success while Shawn while was competing on floor. Instead, they watched and cheered Shawn on. Good sportsmanship. I was a fan of Valeri back in the 80's when the USSR teams were dominant in the sport. I would love to see Nastia comment on Valeri's routines from the Europeans 1987 or Olympics 1988. It would be also interesting to hear Valeri's view of events and what it was like training and competing for the Soviet Union.
Valeri does not age!
Ik I like the blonde on him
Neither does her mom
Your dad is so proud of you. He is just beaming as he talks about this competition. Love this video!
I’m not used to seeing your dad so stress free lol he looks great
You and Shawn quickly holding hands to wish each other good luck between routines is still one of my favorite olympic moments
Wow. Nastia giving us what we wanted for the past 12 years. My life is complete. 😍😊
her dad seems so nice and sweet and you can really see how proud he is
I think its so cool that Nastia looks like and is kinda built like a rhythmic gymnast like her mom but did artistic gmnastics like her dad.
The Pride in his voice and the look in his eyes when he stares at Nastia is so heart melting.
the look of pride in your Dad´s eyes in the beginning of the video is just beautiful!!!
Can you react to his routines??
Great idea!
That would be awesome!
Yes! I was just going to comment this.
Yes please!!
@@NastiaLiukin1 Please do another vid with you two watching his Olympic routines! XD
Look at how proud he still is of her accomplishments 🥺 we must protect Valeri at all costs
Ok, so I’ve needed to get this off my chest for 8 years. I volunteered for the 2012 American Cup and flew there from NC. Apparently there was some confusion about the role I signed up for, and basically ended up behind the scenes the whole competition. I guess USAG felt bad about the mix up and offered for me to go to the media room to meet the gymnasts. So I was following this lady to the back media room and you were just there, looking regal and towering over me because you had super high heels on. I had a mini heart attack and summoned the courage to ask for your autograph. My stupid self wanted to sound respectful, so I didn’t know whether to call you Nastia or Ms. Liukin. I think it came out of my mouth as “Ms. LiukinNastia.” Anyway, you responded and were super nice and signed my program (which is still framed on my wall), but I have always beat myself up about making a complete fool of myself.
It is fascinating to hear about the master plan so many years in the making. It didn't just happen by accident. You are honest about your strengths and weaknesses. This was so sweet and adorable to watch. More Valeri please.
It makes my heart smile watching how Valerie looks at nastia
The only time I've ever seen Valeri on TV he's always in coaching mode so it's weird seeing him be like .. normal 😂😂 not in hyper intense coach mode.
It’s so nice to see the relationship between father and daughter. He is just so incredibly proud of her!
i absolutely love how Valery looks at Nastia. Pure adoration to her daughter. I think we all need a father like that to thrive.
“& thaaaaat’s where I think I got about 10 years older...” 😂 as a parent & a coach...I felt that in my soul 😂 gosh he’s so proud of you & it just makes me smile to watch. 💕
More Valeri PLZ maybe an interview on his olympics and how he managed to start a legendary gym in the USA
Your dad looks sooooo happy and proud 🥺🥺🥺
As a former gymnast and former member of the US Freestyle Ski Team, my coaches always instilled in me to practice as if it was a competition. This is practicing muscle memory. The quote I always said to myself before competing is “You don’t win by being the best, you win by making fewer mistakes than everyone else.” On any given day, anyone can win! Your mental toughness was second to none! Thank you for doing this video!!
Can this be a series please??? So fun to hear Valeri’s thoughts!
Valeri is by far one of the best gymnastics coaches alive. What a legend!
Love this video and interaction with your Dad. He’s such an excellent coach but clearly an incredible father. Nastia is my favorite gymnast of all time by a very long shot. She earned and deserved this Olympic victory.
I am blown away by this insight into your dads personality!! So so lovely to see him relaxed and sharing his thoughts! The gymnastics is obviously beyond this world and I have followed ye for years but this man doesn’t get enough credit! I genuinely didn’t realise he was so lovely! And huge props to him for protecting you all those years and being so supportive, this has made my day! I’m 30 and have always lived in Ireland, never did gymnastics and I’m a huge fan 😂 Love & light to ye both xxx
I remember being a level 5 and 6 gymnast during the Nastia Era. We competed at WOGA multiple times and her mom would hang out with our team during a rotation here and there. She was always sooooo nice and encouraging! She would just hang out and we would all crack jokes. It was so kind of her, especially to young gymnast new to competing.
I have loved your dad since his Olympic Gold Medal. Something always drew me to focus on him. His presence and love for the sport was always unparalleled. I've watched the 2008 AA several times because it's just so beautiful to see! I miss that drive & passion for the sport. Thank you so much for this & thank you, Valeri, for being part of it! The relationship you two have is just beautiful! #Fetchin
Your dad is the cutest!
Nastia I cried with you that day. After following gymnastics since 1992 this was the first time my wish came true for all round finals. You were the deserving winner that day. Loved this video with your dad. Great to see the reactions.
could you react to Shawn's routines? She is brillant and you two have completely different styles. Would be interesting to hear what your dad has to say about Shawn's great routines.
Your dad is so proud of you! I looked up to you and still do as a I used to be a gymnast. You and Shawn are legends. You and Shawn walked so that Simon biles could run. Truly amazing!🥺🥺😭😭❤️❤️
Wow the way he looks at her. He's such a proud dad.
I loved watching this! I always thought your dad was super serious but he’s actually pretty cool! also the 2008 olympics was my favorite for gymnastics 🤸🏼♀️
Kaili Yuen me too
He seems to be serious but he is so funny and nice
Wow, you must be the absolute center of his world 🥺 I can only imagine how well he treats you!
I love when gymnast look back on their past to see how great they actually was 🥰🥰❤️
I Love your DAD and how he helped u to be the best !!!!, now that I’m a Mom I get it ... u are lucky to had the best coach
ok but valeri looks so good at 53
Awww loved hearing your dad relive it , the smile on his face says all, he is just so incredibly proud of you , as a coach but as your dad more so , such a special bond, 🥰🥰🥰
Now, this was such a great video. I really enjoyed hearing your father talk as a coach. He should give feedback on other competition routines. Pick a gymnast and tell us what he thinks in a routine from a Coach point of view. The key points I took from this:
1. if you want to succeed at a high level, this is what it takes (hard work and effort).
2. Preparation begins very early. Then you can build on that great foundation.
3. If you put in the work physically, then you can be free to do the mental work of envisioning how you can accomplish the task and your goals.
Next time, please for those of us who don’t know gymnastics so well, define the terms you’re referencing, I finally figured out what an Ono (????) was during the bar routine. 😂
Loved this!!! You and your dad have an awesome relationship - I remember cheering you on in Beijing!
Your dad was my favorite gymnast. His floor routine was incredible.
Your best video yet! I had watched your Olympic gold all-around routines hundreds of time, but I had never seen your dad's! Thanks for including that. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and feelings. LOVED THIS VIDEO.
Loved this! So casual, down to earth and relatable. Nastia the gymnast was everything I loved about the sport, but as a personality/brand/celeb post-2008 I've always felt a big disconnect (I'm not the target demo, I get that). This was very refreshing and made me want to tune in again :).
Mr. Liukin Sir! My all time hero gymnastics forever! What a beautiful personality you have. Hi Nastia! So do you!!! Thanks for this amazing video!!!
This could be a routine we are watching FOR GENERATIONS. AND YES IT IS!!!! Thank you for all this. 💛
Your Dad is so proud of you! Nastia, when you were talking about how much you wanted it and thats what drove you and where the pressure comes from your dad was beaming!
I remember the first time I saw that Ono and a half to Geinger- it was INSANE! You guys were REALLY going for that start value- and you had the chops to get that execution right!
You guys should do a reaction video to Valeri's Olympic gold medal moments
Yesss love that they are doing the AA (and not just bars) annddd with her dad!! here for it....... what a moment in gymnastics this was
This was so cute. He's so proud ❤️❤️❤️😊
This video was awesome! I've always wondered what was going thru both your heads during the competition. I'm an old guy lol, I'm a lil younger than Valarie, he's in my generation. I was 14 in 88 when he competed. As a young gymnast in that era, we American gymnasts were in total awe of the Soviet Union back then. The Soviet Union totally dominated gymnastics back then. Both men and women teams were so dominating back then. I would love to hear Valaries commentary on his routines in Seoul. Please 🙏... Love you guys 💕. The triple backs the Soviet team threw that year was insane. Just like the vid you show here of his high bar routine, I would love to hear is commentary of the whole competition. Thanks guys
What do you think about Chellsie Memmel doing a comeback? Would you ever do some sort of comeback?
Is Nastia looking forward to commentating on chellsie when she competes?
Love this! You should do a video with your dad watching his old videos and commenting!
You should do Q&A with your dad and react to his routines
Wow 😍😍😍 Valeri is so nice...I love this video. I'm glad we got to know this great man.
ok, now we need to watch all your dads routines and hear what he was thinking!
L is for Living that is good idea
Yes!
You guys are great together and you keep her encouraged and she is able to stand on her on because of your teachings and love. Great job dad.
Gymnastics royalty!!! Thanks for the share!
I love their silhouettes reflecting on the photo hanging on the wall. 💞
I AM LIVING FOR THIS CONTENT!!!!!
Love this. Loved ur beauty in the sport! Loved u and Shawn. Being best friends and both winning gold. It’s amazing!
Would love to watch your reactions to both of your parents routines and hear their responses if possible!
love this...I could watch that all around final every day for the rest of my life and it wouldn't get old...the most beautiful display of gymnastics I have ever seen...so deserving Nastia and Valeri!
This was FABULOUS! I am old enough to remember watching your dad compete, and have followed you as a result. Seeing you together is just such a special thing for me. Beam was always my favorite event during my short time competing as a kid. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
We need more Valeri content!!
As a gym fanatic, a huge fan of yours, and someone that had watched the 2008 all around hundreds of times, this video was literally one of the coolest things ever. Thank you so much for sharing!
He's great!! I have never seen many moments where we get to see what your dad is really like, so I enjoyed this! Would love more content like this and stuff about your training and how your dad was in the gym, etc.
your body and form and voice are beautiful Nastia. great harmonious discipline. your focus is awesome!! i am old man much older than your father (who appears very young), but i watch and listen with great pleasure. thank you. you are one of my top five favorite gymnasts...
I watched this meet live on NBC and they definitely showed your fall on your 1.5 to 1.5 during warm ups. I remember my heart was pounding
VALERI!!!!! He is definitely so so proud of you! As he should be ❤️❤️❤️
What a BEAUTIFUL video/memory.
Wow, you and your dad have such an amazing relationship, I love it. I really like how Valeri said it was a great competition b/c everyone was extremely good, no one made big mistakes. This means when you win, you are truly the best.
Yayyyyy this is so exciting and fun!!! Definitely remember the Beijing gymnastics competition like it was yesterday😍 I remember it more than the London competition 🤭 Also hi👋🏻 from Puerto Rico 💗🇵🇷
Also I love this video concept!! With y’all watching your routines & talking about what was going on & what you were thinking behind the scenes. ESP like what he was thinking as your coach!
Omg my favorite gymnast ever with the best coach!!!! MERP ❤️😍❤️😍
You should do a video what some of your dad's old routines
I loved this. You guys are adorable together. The proud dad vibes are shining through!
"a 7.7 was unheard of back then" and it still is, even more so!! even a 6.0 is :O in today's code!! LOL
also, it was quite unFLOORtunate that the first video didn't include the floor routine
It does include the floor routine
Things change every quad. It allows for progression and innovation in the sport.
@@brite1978 I would argue and say it takes away creativity.
A 6 is amazing these days. 7.7 isn't even possible anymore
Man, this takes me back!!! So nice to see you discuss this with your dad after all these years because we could tell from his expressions that he was going through a whole journey while you were out there trying to win this thing. A family of champions.
Nastia your dad is the cutest person ever you are very lucky.
I loved watching your dad talking about you so proudly! You’ll always be my all time favorite gymnast
This was fantastic! Valeri is an amazing coach and dad!
Nastia, all your routines in the AA during the Olympics were great but your floor routine was exquisite. For the ages. I still watch your routine sometimes and I'm amazed on the perfect combination of artistry and athleticism in the exercise. Simply the best during the 2008 Olympic Games.
Never have seen Val smile so much!
I've waited years to hear his commentary!!!!!!
Valeri seems so nice! This was such a cool video to watch!
The way he looks at you! He is so proud, such a wholesome video
Valeri! Nastia this video is everything! Enjoyed watching and it was great to see your dad!
it's can be so cool if nastia react to the performance of her dad and mom in gymnastics
The bars was just technically the best I think I've ever seen. The handstands the lines the air. Its just... perfect.
My gosh that was such a nice surprise having your dad there! Aww that just all warmed my heart!!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen another gymnast on uneven bars do full one arm pirouettes on both arms! I noticed that she does the Ono on her left arm and Healy on her right which allows her to keep the connected pirouettes moving in the same direction without a grip change. Compare that to a routine like Yang Yilin, He Kevin, or even Fan Yilin that connect pirouettes, they always stick with one arm and rely on quick hop grip changes to do the next element. I just found that really interesting and what makes Nastia’s bar routine very unique.
I loved watching this. You father was a great gymnast and is an amazing coach, dad, and human! I wish he was the US national team coach but support his decision. I think I read he is helping the Brazilian team? They are lucky! Thanks for sharing this Nastia ❤️
Congratulations on your Gold metal you deserve it and I have never seen anyone do bars for that long you did great on all the events
Love this so much! So fun to see you and your dad talking it through!
I especially like listening to your dad because he's always so serious and quiet. I've watched lots of meets on RUclips where he's coaching his other gymnasts, he is amazing!
Nice to hear what he's thinking step-by-step!
You make a great team!!
Great guest appearance by your dad! You can tell how much love and admiration he has for you. I’d love to see more reaction videos with both of you in the future.
I was watching a gymnastics documentary the other night and they mentioned using honey on the bars but I somehow thought that wouldn't be allowed at big international competitions so I was surprised when you mentioned it!
Thank you to you both for all the great gymnastics!!!!
