Gymnast Nastia Liukin Sparks Concern For Being ‘Unusually Thin’

Gymnast Nastia Liukin is again drawing concern from fans who feel that she might be getting "too skinny."

The Russian-born American former artistic gymnast has been sharing a lot of videos of her outfits lately, but many fans feel that they are more like “body checks” and have even gone as far as to accuse her of having an eating disorder.

On Saturday night, only one day before Easter, the 33-year-old former athlete took to Instagram to share a photo that featured her getting ready for the weekend. She is wearing a sleeveless black turtleneck along with a white skirt that fell to her upper thighs.

She starts out the video standing barefoot on the white rug, but later takes a seat to slide on black socks and black boots. Her long hair is pulled back into a high ponytail that tumbles down her back. She finishes off the video by slinging a black backpack over her shoulder.

“Weekend fit,” she wrote in the caption, tagging @aliceandolivia for the top, @ganni for the skirt, and @prada for the shoes and black backpack. Although some fans called her outfit “gorgeous” and “beautiful” and wished her a happy Easter, other fans expressed concerns that she was becoming “too skinny.”

Many comments felt that Nastia was getting skinnier than when she performed in the Olympics. “Her thinness worries me. I know she’s always been slender but I feel that recently she’s gotten even thinner than her normal body composition. Take care of yourself beautiful,” one fan commented.

“I was thinking the same thing. She looks unusually thin. Very concerned,” another follower wrote. “Yes. Trying not to body shame or be disrespectful but although she is thin by nature, there’s just a point where it’s just not healthy for your overall health,” another fan chimed in. “I agree with that,” another follower added.

However, there were some comments that were not so nice about it. “Omg, please eat some carbs. No offense,” one user commented. “Can you just shut up?” another follower asked. “I hope you eat something too… and choke on it,” another user shot back.

“Am I the only one concerned that she has an eating disorder?” another user asked. “If you did your research, you’d know her mother is built EXACTLY like her. It’s her genetics,” another follower commented, noting that her mother, Anna Kotchneva, 53, is a former Soviet rhythmic gymnast.

The five-time Olympic medalist has been accused of suffering from an eating disorder on many of her Instagram posts, including this video that features her dressing in a long-sleeve sweater and patchwork skirt from Zara.

Although there were some fans that called the outfit "so cute" and "a slay," there were many more comments that expressed concern that the former athlete was again becoming "too skinny" and posting a "body check" instead of a fashion video.

“I love Nastia and have since way before the Olympics but this looks like a body check,” one follower commented. “I know you’ll just delete this or turn off commenting, but as someone who’s struggled for years with an eating disorder myself - you look like you need help. Not suggesting that you have any particular diagnosis, but these posts raise such red flags for me,” another fan shared.

“You’re lovely….but you’re starting to look dangerously thin, hope you’re all right,” another fan chimed in. “Getting a little worried about you…” another follower wrote. “I am really worried about you. Hope you find the help you need,” another fan commented.

As fans can see from this video, usually when the comments become too much for Nastia, she just disables them. Given the uptick in recent comments about her weight on her latest video, it seems like it won't be too long before she decides to disable them yet again.

There were even more comments expressing concern for her weight when she posted another fashion video showing off her see-through leggings. Fans can check out that Instagram post by clicking here.
