Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been staying very busy lately. I guess it’s been a while since I wrote last. I got to go to the World Championships in London. It was so weird to be on the other side of things, and watching the competition from the stands… I don’t really think I liked it. But I was also able to do some pretty cool stuff while I was there. I wrote a blog for USA Today, did the interviews for Universal Sports & NBC, and also did a 4 series episode for AT&T Behind the Team.
Bringing 5 medals home, the girls did such a great job representing Team USA! I am very proud of them all. After Worlds, I went to the Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular which happened to be on my 20th Birthday. I was so happy to be able to spend it with some of my really great friends! Ashley Tisdale was the guest performer, she is so sweet and VERY talented. (It will air January 10 on NBC)
Next week I’m off to LA for a few days, then going to Moscow with my mom to visit our family. I’m really looking forward to spending some time with them. I hope you all have a safe and fun Thanksgiving!
XOXO~Nastia
P.S. I have some SUPER exciting stuff coming up, but I can’t tell you yet… But trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you ALL for the support I have received these past few weeks! It definitely wasn't an easy decision to decide not to try to make the World Team. But I know it was the right one. I'm so excited for Rebecca, Ivana and also my Dad (as he goes back to the World stage with his amazingly talented girls!)   Let's keep the WOGA tradition alive!!!!!

I'm also really looking forward to going to London to cheer on Team USA :)I have been traveling all over the world these last few weeks, really enjoying it! From LA to NYC to Miami, now I'm ready to take on Europe!

 I'm off to Copenhagen today for the decision of the 2016 Olympic Games! I was SO honored when I was asked to be part of the team to travel to Denmark! I will keep you updated while I'm there through my Twitter! (www.twitter.com/NLiukin) Thanks again, it means the world to me to have my friends, family and especially fans all behind me! Keep dreaming BIG!

Xoxo-Nastia

Current mood:  optimistic
Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing wonderful... SO much going on right now, I will update you guys very soon on everything!!! But I did want to tell you guys about this right now... 

My best friend, Jordan Pruitt, has turned me on to the Alzheimer's Association charity walk. This is a very great charity that helps try to find a cure for the disease. Jordan and I really want to raise money for this awesome cause and her friends have started a team. This is the link to their team:
http://memorywalk09.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=302539&lis=1&kntae302539=9C74AA4FF0A14B4397B01C9DA7E9C8D1&team=3500005&tlteam=0

It would be amazing if you could donate. You can donate either under Jordan Pruitt or General Team Donations. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
Thanks SO much! This means a lot to me & Jordan :)

XOXO
Nastia <3

08.08.08..... Wow. As I sit here writing this blog I have chills, goose bumps & tears in my eyes. I can't even think where to start. One thing I know is I will forever hold this moment in my heart. For the rest of my life.
I was contemplating writing this on August 15, the day I won the All-Around title, but then I thought to myself.... Yes, that day changed my life for FOREVER, but it was August 8, 2008 that defined my career. I had never been more proud to be part of Team USA and to be able to share these moment with 5 other AMAZING, talented, sweet, caring girls.... I could go on and on about them (but I'll save that for another time!) We created such a special bond together that will last a lifetime.
Next I owe EVERYTHING to my parents, coaches, friends, and the other special people in my life
I can't even express how much these people mean to me and what they have done for me. My parents, well not much explanation needed for that one! They have guided me and showed me the path to not only success, but happiness, which in my opinion is the most important part of life. I have always had a pure love and passion for the sport of gymnastics and that's the only way it's possible to achieve your dreams. They have been there through the thick and thin.... The struggles and the triumphs.... The tears of sadness and the tears of joy. I would not  be the person I am today without them. Thank you mom & dad.
Natalya, Evgeny, Sergei, Laurie, Natasha, Laurent and Cecile.... and all the other coaches and staff at WOGA. They have been there right behind me through my Olympic Journey.... Pushed me through the struggles and hugged me when I needed a hug! Thank you so much!
Evan, my agent who has made me believe that absolutely anything in this world is possible!!!!!!! From gymnastics, to modeling, to becoming a "business woman", and to living a somewhat "normal" teenage life.... If I put my mind to it, impossible is NOTHING!
Our wonderful national team coordianter, Martha Karolyi. I don't have enough words to thank her for leading our best team ever to Beijing. She always had faith in me, trusted me and pushed me when I needed to be pushed. I can't imagine how much pressure, stress and emotions it takes to lead a team at the Olympic Games. She will will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. As I continue my career in the sport, she has been there every step of the way, and I am so honored to have her by my side.
Onto my best friends, Carly and Nina..... It was so amazing being able to watch Carly train and go on to win the All-Around Gold in Athens 5 years ago!!! It truly made me believe that I CAN do it too. My dreams all of sudden seemed SO realistic. Carly has supported me along the whole journey, been there for me when I was lost in the world of ,all the sudden being "well known". We continue to be the best of friends and I know we forever will!!!!! No too many people have accomplished  the same thing we did, back-to-back!!!! :)
My other best friend, Nina.... Don't even know where to start! She traveled with me to Beijing, was there every single step of the way. I don't have enough words, or actions to thank her or repay her enough for how she has changed me life. Not only being there when I was getting my gold medal, or on the set of The Today Show, Access Hollywood, TRL, and all the other fun shows I did.... But also sitting through my 10 hour photo shoots, letting me cry to her over the phone, letting me sleep through the 15 hour flight from Beijing back home (without even trying to wake me up!!!!) She is a definition of a TRUE friend. I will love you forever & always Nin :)
Last put not least I would like to thank my fans! YOU guys have been awesome!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for believing in me & for the continued support as I now proceed to start "Part 2 of my career" I have so many cool things in the works, that I know you all will be very excited about!!!! (A special announcement will be made on Tuesday!!!!!!)
 I have made new goals & dreams for myself that I hope to achieve in the next three years of my journey to London :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and spend sometime with the people that make a difference in YOUR life. Thank you again for helping my achieve my dreams.....

Hey!

Hope you are all doing great. I thought it was about time for an update. First off all I would like to congratulate Shawn on winning DWTS!!!!! She did a great job & what a wonderful thing for the sport of gymnastics! 

Can't believe it has already been 9 months since the Olympics. Time certainly goes by so fast. I have been so busy lately doing so many great things. Modeling, photo shoots, charity events, and OF COURSE training! I am so excited to tell you guys that I FINALLY got a new floor routine :) Keeping it a secret for now, but I really hope you will like it! It's time for me to start a new journey and second part to my career, so I needed a fresh start. 

I got to coach in my first gymnastics clinic over the weekend at SIGS Gymnastics in New Albany, IN. I had a great time and it was so much fun sharing my knowledge that my dad has shared with me over the years! While I was there I also had a lunch with some very special kids from the "Make-A-Wish Foundation". 

I went to LA last week and had a few meetings and also got to spend a little time with some good friends. I have some really exciting things coming up, but I will fill you in a little later ;) 

June 6th I am going to be the honorary chair for the Susan G Koman Race for the Cure in North Texas. Please register for this great cause if you live in the area! http://www.komennorthtexas.org/race.html

New floor routine + new leotards + summer heat = COMPETITION SEASON!!!!! This year will definitely not be easy, especially with all my travels, but I am truly excited to get back where I belong... on the competition floor! VISA Championships in DALLAS & Worlds in LONDON (same arena that the gymnastics will be in during 2012 Olympics!) BRING IT ON!!!
