Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin is hanging around shirtless, bare-legged, and by an upside-down car with her massive thigh gap on show – all to gear the digital space up for the 12th annual Nastia Cup. The 31-year-old five-time Olympic medalist, who retired aged just 22 back in 2012, has been cramming her Instagram with all-pink looks for a massive countdown, with each day bringing the Russian-born star's killer Olmypian body in a fresh girly look. Check out the latest thigh gap showoff below.

Scroll for today's photos. They come as Nastia shuts down suggestions she doesn't care about the Texas snowstorm crisis – Nastia, who lives in Dallas, dedicated a recent post to both the cup and the Southern state, with Sunday seeing the blonde return to the former. The Nastia Cup, now under a week away, today brought the stunner all legs in heels and by an eye-catching old vehicle plonked upside-down.
Posing with her Gold Medal legs all out and in a shirtless, hot pink blazer dress with a feather miniskirt, Nastia threw out body-ody. And more.

Liukin, going full bombshell with her blonde hair tied back, hoop earrings, and dagger stilettos heels, posed leaning against the car and also away from it, flaunting her massive thigh gap and willowy silhouette, then taking to her caption.
"When I think about the next generation, I think about the immense amount of passion, desire, and quite honestly, responsibility I feel to help guide, inspire, and motivate them to be the very best version of themselves that they can be," she began.

Nastia, who yesterday stated she was a fan of both the competitive and community edge of the cup, continued that she was "beaming" with pride as she types, stating: "But to be honest that’s not what it’s all about. to watch these young women on their journeys to becoming strong, confident, beautiful women is what truly brings me joy."
Nastia was raised by two Olympic gymnast parents, herself winding up in training gyms at a young age as her parents couldn't afford childcare. See her insane bikini body below!

Nastia, who competed on "Dancing With the Stars" in 2015 and now retails her own Celery Green Cream amid other business ventures, sees her legacy living on via The Nastia Cup, this year set to make one aspiring gymnast very happy. Liukin does, however, wind up meaning headlines for her online storms, with October 2020 seeing her at the center of an anorexia one as she clapped back. 2021 has already brought the "gross skinny chicken legs" drama.
