Gymnast Nastia Liukin Is ‘Desperately Awaiting Fall’ In Her Short Skirt

Gymnast Nastia Liukin is back on Instagram with another fashion video!

Although she stopped posting them for a while after facing criticism that she was “too skinny,” it looks like she is back to sharing her videos… especially with her new clothing collection dropping later this fall.

Although some are dreading the end of summer, it looks like others can’t wait for the fall weather to begin so they can start enjoying sweater weather, as Nastia already is!

On Thursday afternoon, the Russian-born retired American artistic gymnast took to Instagram to share a video showing her getting ready in a tan tank top and matching short skirt. She buttoned up a long-sleeve sweater over the tank top and added a pair of knee-high brown boots to her outfit. She left her blonde hair long for this look, accessorizing her style with sunglasses and a brown back.

“Desperately awaiting fall,” she wrote in the caption along with a brown heart emoji, autumn leaves, a cup of cocoa, and a teddy bear. “Shop everything on my @shopmy page (link in bio!) except the [boots emoji] are #NastiaLiukinxGianniBini launching this November at @dillards!!!”

“Perfect, as usual,” one fan commented. “Stunning,” another follower declared. “Beautiful,” a third fan agreed. “Just perfect,” another follower wrote. “Obsessed!!” another fan exclaimed. “So hot!” another follower gushed. “Yes!! And I’m so ready for fall!” another fan chimed in.

“I love that. It looks nice on you,” another follower shared. “My favorite fit,” another fan agreed. “Super nice!” another follower exclaimed. “If she wasn't an Olympian Gold champion she could have been a fashion model. She’s so lean and so lovely,” another fan commented. Although many fans loved her outfit, a few weren’t fans of the boots, with one saying that they were “too wide.”

Although she retired in 2012, the five-time Olympic champion has made bonds with other athletes that will last a lifetime. Earlier this week, she took to Instagram to share a whole carousel full of photos that featured her catching up with her famous friends, who have since become like family to her.

“History was made, medals were won… but what’s even greater than both of those two things is the incredible bond that we formed 15 years ago,” she wrote in the caption. “As an only child in somewhat of an individual sport, this group of incredible humans became my brothers and sisters for the rest of my life. While they say you can’t choose your family, you also can’t choose your Olympic teammates - but I would continue to choose each and every one of them again and again and again.

“Forever grateful for the many moments and memories created in Beijing that summer in 2008 - but perhaps even more grateful that 15 years later we have grown closer together - something we’ve all been told is rare,” she continued. “The rest was said around the dinner table last night, all of us together again… a night spent laughing, crying and reminiscing on 15 years.”

“Love you forever… see y’all soon,” she added. Fans absolutely loved seeing the group shots, with one follower commenting, “I used to have all your guys’ posters on my wall and would memorize your beam routines and pretend do them on my curb as a kid.”

Another fan wrote, “The pic of you and Shawn is so sweet I can’t. Y’all are inspirations forever to so many people. Blessed to live in the same timeline as you so many other bada** gymnasts showing the world how to be strong.” A third fan chimed in, “Pretty much the entirety of both of the 08 teams, including Ivana who I believe went as a reserve for the women’s team. So great to see you all together in person again.”

Even though she has since moved on from gymnastics, fans are excited to see her move forward with her entrepreneurial career! Fans can watch her model even more fits from her new collection, dropping this November, by clicking here!
