Nastia Liukin flaunts her fit body while out and about in the sun!
The former artistic gymnast, 32, tantalized her 1.1 million Instagram followers with her recent update.
Basking In The Sun
Nastia stood barefoot in the sand with her back facing the lens. She placed one foot forward and curled her toes as she looked over her shoulder and smiled at the camera. The bright sunlight enveloped her flawless skin, which made it look glowing.
The Best View
The Russian-born American five-time Olympic medalist sizzled in a lilac bikini that complemented her sun-kissed complexion. The garment had ribbed fabric, giving it a sexy and seductive vibe. On her upper half, she sported a bandeau-style top that showed her toned arms and shoulders.
The lower half of the swimwear was just as sexy and was made of the same material. Its waistband was worn high on her hips, highlighting Nastia's tiny waist and midsection. The high design also exposed her slender thighs and long pins. Its thong design allowed the babe to flaunt her perky booty.
Nastia added several accessories to the ensemble, including sunglasses, a thin bracelet on one wrist, and a pair of dainty earrings. She had her long dark locks down and styled straight as she sported a multicolored straw hat.
Travel Plans
A note on her caption revealed that the picture was a throwback and was only posted to ask fans for information regarding Costa Rica.
In fact, Nastia posted the same snap in January, along with other pics taken in the same location. The former athlete was seen enjoying her time at a secluded beach.
"going to Costa Rica (!!!) next week!" Nastia wrote in the caption of her newest post. "tell us all the things to do, see, hotels, etc etc. thank youuuu."
Always In A Bikini
Despite being an old snapshot, her fans still loved the share. It received over 10,000 likes and more than 150 comments from her admirers in less than a day.
"The view is spectacular," one user wrote.
"Amazing and classy pic, you are looking fantastic. Have a wonderful day today my friend, you rock!!!!!" another follower chimed in.
"Great picture of a very beautiful lady," a third fan remarked.
Beach Bombshell
Several others gave her tips about Costa Rica.
"All the beaches, the volcanoes, and the mountains are beautiful! the main capital san jose is ugly haha π traditional food is a delight, have a good trip and enjoy a lot π»ππ»" one noted.
"Playa Hermosa, black sand beach on the Pacific side is a must. Manuel Antonio , el parque nacional too. Salsa Brava/Puerto Limon/Cocles on the Caribbean side too," added another user.
What Does Nastia Do Now?
Nastia retired from gymnastics in 2012. Since then, she has been an NBC Sports analyst for gymnastics. She's also an influencer who loves to travel the world.
In an interview, Nastia shared about the things she could never leave out in her carry-on.
"Definitely my makeup and my skincare products β everything that is travel sized obviously and one change of clothes in case your bags get lost and a blanket," she told Black Tomato. "I always travel with my own blanket. Itβs just a sense of comfort and home -- LA to NYC, cross country, and any flights outside of the country I always have it."
