Nastia liukin Olympic Fluff (my fav fluff so far)

[@yecatsb]

she's been amazing since she started. I'm glad her parents gave in to her love of the sport. She will forever be remembered as elegant and graceful! Congrats Nastia! BTW, the old footage is priceless - thanks for posting!

[@indysk8r32]

I love how down to earth she is. There's no drama here. And her family seems so grounded as well. They really perfected that dangerous line of coach and parent that is usually impossible to do. Such great sports, all three of them. What are the odds that they'd have a daughter to go on to win Olympic Gold in the All-Around? That's pretty incredible.

[@falpalemily]

How can you not love nastia? She's the best!!

[@Fliptwisttt245]

haha XD "if it wasnt for my dad i wouldnt be on the olympic team" "yeahhh i dont think so"

[@Elong.]

This is a great fluff piece complete with footage of her parents competing!

[@Shallikoops]

@SAX713 oh yeah, look for the "olympic floor final part 1" and see at 0:16 and 2:50. And at the FIG's site too... Sandra is 5'3

[@cam2540]

They seem like such a lovely family.

[@isa1285]

reallly cute fluff!!!!

[@GymnasticsGurl911]

I love this !!

[@Shallikoops]

@SAX713 Sandra Izbasa is taller than Nast, but Svetlana still the taller one haha =)

[@xXthinkxthinXx]

@SAX713 nastia isn't tall, she's 5'2!

[@natalienat518]

@AsksOneThing yes it is

[@AaronSKZ]

no, I think Ivana Hong is there now. or that's what I heard anyway.

[@DanishRoyalFan15]

She's really good. Last I heard she was injured though, unfortunately.

[@Evanescing]

Yeah, I was thinking when I watched that, it looks kind of painful.

[@corgilover7]

i thought you weren't supposed to do giants with your thumbs around the bar, becuase you could break your thumbs. or does she just do it a different way?

[@FlippinMissy4]

haha "i wouldn't be on the olympic team" no i dont think so"

[@gymnasticsrat94]

I don't either but that's essentially what it is but I love them! :D

[@JGUZZY]

yup it did. i thought this video was funny and cute. i liked it. btw where did you find/get the video from? do you have a link to it? please and thank you

[@Jude74]

Well your dream became reality.

[@sivret20]

It's weird how she looks so mature and beautiful and gemraceful and she still sounds like a lil' kid haha

[@AsksOneThing]

LOL @ Nastia re: her bars routine "Is that even possible?"

[@Fliptwisttt245]

so its only them 2

[@berryzluv]

No, she wont. On her website, she says she wants to get picked for the 2009 world championships.

[@AaronSKZ]

as far as I know.

[@tellmeJO]

after prelims she only qualified on three events, aa, and team...so she could only win 5 medals...

[@AaronSKZ]

I don't think she will, I think she'll go for at least another 2 years, I know that she's training right now. plus im sure that they have some girls that are close but yeah, you never really know.

[@definitelydisastrous]

haha i did that same compulsory routine

[@Fliptwisttt245]

is nastia currently WOGA's only elite?

[@Fliptwisttt245]

wow thats like...no one and nastia might stop gymnastics soon because shes gettin older...

[@Fliptwisttt245]

idk her

[@hihibyebye27]

whats fluff?

[@xplosive08]

i dont think so

[@USANieke]

What does "fluff" actually mean?

[@csagrl100]

whats a fluff

[@USANieke]

Ah like that. Although I don't find the gymnastics fluff stupid.. :)

[@ninzbean]

why do they call it fluff?

[@chel514]

1:33 Wish I could do that. lol

[@gymnasticsrat94]

all it means is that it doesn't really have anything to do with what is actually going on. it's like fluffing an essay. you just say stupid stuff to take up time.

[@xXthinkxthinXx]

i think she just looks tall because of her long legs, but in reality their still shorter than the average woman.
