She was amazing at keeping her legs together (as odd as that sounds) on bars! a small thing that takes a lot of effort. and hyperextended knees and impeccable toepoint creates such gorgeous lines, like Komova, Pavlova, and Porgras, too.

I always wonder what Nastia could have done had she pursued her mother's sport. She is built for rhythmic gymnastics but her elegance and power turn her gymnastics into works of art. She's truly poetry in motion and I feel lucky I was able to watch her while she was in her prime and competing.

I get the sense that Nastia thrives on competition and on mastering advanced technical skills. I'm not sure rhythmic gymnastics would have kept her interest. Not that rhythmic gymnastics doesn't take skill and practice, but it isn't the type of skill that gives you an adrenaline rush and keeps someone determined to tackle the next problem.

She is the definitely emotion and expression to the extreme. Even her expression, fingers, arch and toes speak a story.

Her AA performance was THE meet of her life.

Always liked that Liukin used a Russian folk song for her floor exercise.

Always on (toe)point. Miss the dance elements on floor. Thanks for giving us routines with no commentary.

16.900 was and is a GINORMOUS score for bars! If she hadn't taken that tiny step on the dismount, Nastia would've scored a 17.00! 😳

Best performances: *Vault:* All-Around competition *Bars:* Event Final *Beam:* All-Around competition *Floor:* Event Final

I forgot how great her floor performance was in the final. Probably the best one I’ve seen from her. She was so solid during these Olympics, and beautiful to watch!

Nastia is really outstanding.I really enjoy her performance, in best traditions of Soviet classical gymnastics, with clear lines, athletism as well as artistism. Her father was also very famous athlet and talented gymnast, Valery Liukin. He was born in Kazakhstan, he represented Dinamo sport club of my home city (Alma-Ata), but later he moved to Moscow, and then to the USA with his family. It was a crazy time for former USSR (90-s).

This was by far my fav Olympic Games.

First of all - love the slow-mo parts where we can really see the more intricate/fast spinning moves. But also, at 7:28 - does anyone know why they don't pull that blue mat closer to the low bar? It seems like it would be so easy to trip over it and ruin a dismount that would've been good otherwise like what happened at 1:40 (don't know if she fell b/c of her own mistake or b/c that mat was right there).

So graceful! My all-time favorite!

I always love her dismount on UB, iconic but unpredictable
