My Opinions

Nastia Liukin is a amazing gymnast along with an amazing person. I actually met her when I was 10. She was at a gymnastics camp over the summer of 2012. When I met her she trained me and from the training I went through with her I can slightly tell how much hard work she must have put in to become such a successful gymnast. Also, as said in an article I read, "Nastia was already beginning to demonstrate a natural aptitude for gymnastics." (for a link to this article look below the Opinions section) Many people have different opinions about Nastia Liukin (A.K.A Anastasia Liukin) and express it in different ways. This is what I think about my idol and favorite gymnast.
