Welcome to Excellence in Practice. This site is dedicated to the extremely beautiful and talented US Gymnast, Nastia Liukin. The header logo pictures were taken at the 2008 Visa Championships. This site will have a full bio of Nastia, her routines, videos, animations, and graphics.
I updated the biography to include the Beijing Olympics, up to last night's AA final! I also added her Olympic Trials and Beijing results. Some new avatars and graphics will be up shortly, along with her routines!
Nastia is currently in Beijing, China competing in the Olympic Games. She has already competed in team qualifications where she qualified for bars, beam, floor, and all-around finals, and the team final in which the USA placed second and received a silver medal. She competed in the all-around final which aired yesterday night (August 14th) and beat teammate Shawn Johnson to receive a gold medal and the title of All-Around Olympic Champion! Congratulations, Nast!
Nastia wins gold at the All Around final at the 2008 Beijing Games!
