Who Is Nastia Liukin?
Anastasia"Nastia" Liukin was born on October 30, 1989 in Moscow, Russia. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 2 1/2 years old. Her parents never intended for her to be a gymnast - but apparently it was inevitable. She was an elite gymnast by the age of 12.
Prior to the 2008 Olympics, Nastia had become a Senior International Elite gymnast. She had won two World Championships, six time World medalist titles, four US National Champion titles and won both a Pacific Alliance and American Cup title. In 2005 she was also named the Gymnast of the Year by the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame and was a nominee in both the World Top 10 Athletes Award and the US Sport's Academy Athlete of the Year Award. She even has her own line of gymnastics equipment.
Nastia's 2008 Olympic Medal count is as follows:
1 Gold - All Around
3 Silver - Team, Beam, Bars
1 Bronze - Floor
