Nastia Liukin biography, here I’ll share you about Nastia Liukin biography. I think it’s a good post after I wrote about Nastia Liukin boyfriend, Evan Lysacek.
Liukin was born in Moscow, to two former gymnasts. She and her parents moved to the US when she was only two, and as her parents were both coaches she grew up playing at the gym and began competing at age six. She reached the elite level at the age of twelve, and was undefeated as a junior competitor from 2003 to the beginning of 2005.
In 2005, at the US Classic, she became the first US gymnast to attempt a quadruple twist on floor exercise, and she finished the 2005 season with her first senior National title. She came in second to Chellsie Memmel at Worlds by only one one-thousandth of a point, and went on to win gold on the bars and beam. In 2006, she again won at Nationals, but an ankle injury forced her to compete only on bars at Worlds, earning a silver in the event final as well as team silver.
After surgery on her ankle, troubles in healing slowed her down in the 2007 season, during Johnson’s senior debut. She finished third at Nationals, and did not place in the all-around competition at Worlds, though she won team gold as well as gold on the balance beam.
And what happen in Vancouver 2010, I’m sure you all people know. Now, some Nastia Liukin bio here below :
