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

She's really good. Last I heard she was injured though, unfortunately.
Yeah, I was thinking when I watched that, it looks kind of painful.
LOL @ Nastia re: her bars routine "Is that even possible?"
I don't either but that's essentially what it is but I love them! :D
as far as I know.
after prelims she only qualified on three events, aa, and team...so she could only win 5 medals...
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?
no, I think Ivana Hong is there now. or that's what I heard anyway.
No, she wont. On her website, she says she wants to get picked for the 2009 world championships.
@SAX713 Sandra Izbasa is taller than Nast, but Svetlana still the taller one
haha =)
wow thats like...no one and nastia might stop gymnastics soon because shes gettin older...
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.
so its only them 2
@SAX713 nastia isn't tall, she's 5'2!
@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
haha i did that same compulsory routine
Ah like that.
Although I don't find the gymnastics fluff stupid.. :)
@AsksOneThing yes it is

What does "fluff" actually mean?

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