Gymnast Nastia Liukin Stuns In Wet Bikini For Texas Summer

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin made it bikini game strong as she showed off her lithe figure in swimwear for pool photos marking her Texas location in August 2023. Dropping jaws on Instagram as she showed off her athlete body, the Russian-born Olympian sizzled in a tight bikini as she got soaking wet in her pool, also using her photo to open a gallery of photos summing up her activities. Nastia is known for regularly shouting out her Texas base on social media. This post earned the five-time Olympic medalist endless love as fans called her "stunning" and a "queen."

Scroll for the photos. Splashing about the water as she enjoyed the Texas sunshine in her first few snaps, Nastia flaunted her toned legs and wild abs in a skimpy green and pink bikini covered in floral prints. Lifting her hands to her head as she closed her eyes while thigh-deep in the swimming pool, the blonde flashed her curvy hips in her high-cut bathing suit, also showing a little cleavage as she reminded fans of her rock-hard muscles.

Hiking up her bottoms as she swung a hip in the next slide, Nastia upped the ante with another showoff as she highlighted her shredded abs and toned thighs, but there was other stuff going on as fans swiping also saw her snapping a miniskirt selfie while posing from her stylish home. Also including a photo of flowers and a night out with a girlfriend, Nastia threw in more pool action toward the end, writing: "Lately, in Texas." A geotag placed the Moscow native in Dallas, TX.

"Great pictures," one fan said. "Your fashion is LIFE," another replied.

While Nastia has been retired since 2012, she still shares throwbacks to her Olympics days. This Instagram snap showed her as a teenager and mid-air as she delivered a mind-blowing split. Revealing three "lessons" that she'd learned about confidence during her career, Nastia wrote:

"Confidence is a skill - as is a triple twist dismount off of a four-inch wide balance beam. To master any skill - whether on the beam or in life - you do so with training. Lots and lots of training," adding: "Confidence is being the best version of YOURSELF - rather than constantly comparing yourself or trying to simply be better than someone else."

Nastia also noted that professional gymnastics is a "very subjective sport," continuing that sometimes, the score didn't "reflect" how much work she'd put in. Here, she urged her fans not to let anyone "determine" or "validate" their confidence.

Nastia regularly sparks comments on her weight, with some fans feeling that she's gotten too skinny. In 2020, the star made headlines for clapping back at a fan in a high-profile anorexia storm, where she shut down being skinny-shamed.
