Nastia Liukin Olympic Champion
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!
