People see what they want to see.
The Nastia fans are going to think she looks great, in shape and ready where as the Nastia haters (like me) are going to see a girl that doesn’t feel good enough about her body yet to wear just a leotard.
I am going to see a girl who has no new upgrades except a full turn with her leg up on beam. A girl that can’t do a pak on her own 8 months before the Olympics with the same old horrible dismount and giants.
The good news (at least for me) is I got no sound except background noise. I didn’t have to listen to her whiny phony voice. Yea me.
Even if I was trying to look on the bright side for the Nastia fanatics I would be a bit worried. If this is the best she has when she has secretly been training for awhile and it is 8 months before the Olympics I don’t see a UB specialist. Then again I doubt she is showing everything.
She looks in better shape then she has in the past but I seriously doubt she is going to be able to get through her super 7 start value bar set in this shape when she could barely get through it when she was at her peak.
P.s.- Recycled Irina Slutskaya music is bad enough when it is used by a clod hopper. GO AWAY TOSCA

she looks fit here.

Not very impressive.

Preach.

I feel the same way! This bitch needs a huge dose of reality pie. I’m going to call it right now, if she doesn’t have her UB routine ready by February, she won’t make the team. There’s just no way. I will be LIVID if Marta puts her on the team. Also, Tosca Symphony needs to gtfo; it’s so over done. I’m sorry, a couple back kicks does not make a floor routine. I am so over people saying how artistic Nastia is. Hello? Compared to the Russians, Italians, and Romanians, Nastia looks like a fish flopping around gasping for air.

I hope she breaks both arms. Marta is taking her even if she falls at Nationals and trials and the only way we get saved of another Nastia filled Olympics is two broken arms.
I also heard rumor’s that Nastia is now telling people she wants to win 3 medals to beat Shannon’s total medals.
Give the girl credit for cocky attention whore seeking.

Meow, that photo looks photo shopped. I saw a picture from around the same time (i forget where I will try and find it) and she looked much different.
I think she looks in better shape just not Olympian shape.
December 14, 2011 at 2:29 am |
Meow, Here you go. Look at the size of her leg and compare it to the other picture. Much different

I mean I saw it too, but it is a month’s difference.
December 14, 2011 at 10:18 pm |
I don’t know if Nastia will be on the team or not but I think she will be a real threat. Not being able to do a pak on her own right now doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t take long at all to relearn skills you were good at.
December 15, 2011 at 12:13 am |
You don’t lose what looks like twenty pounds in one month. Not even making yourself throw up works wonders that quickly.
I said she looks good she just does not look elite gymnast good. Not yet, she is obviously working out
December 15, 2011 at 5:50 am |
as a nastia fan i will admit that i’m not too enthusiastic about what i saw. i’m hoping that 1. this was taken awhile ago (before she got her new floor routine choreographed by travis wall) so she might look better now and 2. she was holding back so she is actually capable of doing more
on another subject, don’t you think that photo looks a bit weird? i mean the raised leg is like twice the size of the one on the ground…she tweeted another pic at the same time http://t.co/wBQrAp25 and her legs looked closer to the size of the smaller one…
side note, she can do the dismount well if she actually had the stamina for the routine she was performing…if you see her do the dismount by itself like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGNB5mqeELs (someone commented on the time in top comments) then it looks pretty good… that said, yes the dismount at the end of the routine is pretty bad…
December 15, 2011 at 11:51 pm |
You need to stop talking now. If I find one Nastia fan that grasps the concept that she isn’t perfect I might start believing other fans exist and my whole world might be turned upside down:)
I know she can do the dismount but I also know if she is going for another super difficulty score she isn’t going to be able to finish it well.
Thanks for the comments.

[Russian coach speaks about his WAG team after Worlds] “….And of course we will probably do better effort, I am sure, for Olympic Games with two–probably three–like Komova. And, of course, we will beat them.” – Andrey Rodionenko, Russian National Team Head Coach
Nastia thinks this guy is bluffing, so she has pushed a mountain of chips toward the center of the table: she’s all-in. Now for those of us peering over her shoulder, looking at the pathetic hand she has been dealt, we can only shake our heads in disbelief. The defending all-around Olympic champion will be thoroughly humiliated.
December 15, 2011 at 11:53 pm |
I love Russia’s ego.lol
I don’t think Nastia is bluffing. She is going to do this to spite me.
December 16, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Nastia is only doing this because, deep down, she knows that–wait, this is a Kleenex moment–you’ll be her BFF again! That’s ‘Best Fake Friend’ btw.
December 15, 2011 at 6:11 am |
^^This! She needs to quit while she’s ahead! Besides, so many should get the chance to be on the team! Since Romania doesn’t have a shot of winning the gold in team, I’m pulling for Russia!
December 15, 2011 at 11:54 pm |
I just hope the best team wins I personally like China overall but I just hope the US team doesn’t win if they bring Nastia.
December 16, 2011 at 12:00 am |
She has a shot. All the skills are ones she knew a while ago. Is just a job of cutting a bit more fat, little refresher, and moderate strengthening.
P.s. Is it true that all anti-Nastia people get banned from IG?
December 16, 2011 at 12:00 am |
And she is not fighting an injury. Has maybe even healed up a bit.
December 16, 2011 at 12:02 am
um…and she’s “legal”. Just saying…;)
December 16, 2011 at 3:04 am |
It seems to have calmed down but back in the day when Nastiafan101 whined like toddler when anyone said anything bad about Nastia, Martina and that sue lady and gymmomma would go whine to Amanda and have them banned.
Now that Olympic time is rolling around it might get back there.
Someone sent me some messages a few years back where they had been banned for no reason and even sent the reasoning behind the banning from the mods. I can’t remember what it said something about them not doing anything wrong but they wanted to calm down the board.
The good news is that no one pretty much mods that board anymore unless someone complains a lot but the gang members don’t post there as much any more except Kitty but if Martina, Nastiafan101, Martina, Gymmomma, med student and instalder whatever the**** his name is start their usual BS watch out for mass banning.

I am already permabanned for saying I wanted to empregnate Sarah Palin.
December 16, 2011 at 5:49 am |
I think Sarah’s youngest is adorable.lol but why would you say that anyway.lol
Find one of those things that hides your IP or try hooking up at a library. Once they clear you for posting I doubt they will go back every day and check your ip number.

You see I never follow the party line when it comes to phony attention hogs.
Funny you should mention that because the last time I was dealing with that type of needs all the attention type of person I walked out of the room. I think I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room.lol
