The epitome of world class gymnastics, Nastia Liukin, has been crowned the 2008 Olympic Gymnastics All Around Champion! Her performances tonight were gorgeous, artistic, precise and oh, so confident.
I was so glad to see Nastia put together the best routines I have ever seen her do tonight - when it counted most. Looking at all the fantastic athletes she competed against - Shawn Johnson, Yilin Yang, Anna Pavlova, Ksenia Semenova, Steliana Nistor, and others - is was crystal clear that Nastia Liukin was in a LEAGUE OF HER OWN.
Stunning, just stunning!
