The 31-year-old Olympian caught attention when she flaunted her famous thigh gap while wearing the tiniest mini skirt on the planet.

Her followers from the right and left were triggered by the caption she used quoting Taylor Swift.
Slipping her gold medal curves into a Barbie pink two-piece, Nastia Liukin turned heads in the bubble gum-colored suit that would make even Elle Woods jealous. Highlighting her silky smooth legs in the itty bitty mini skirt, the star accentuated her toned pins in a pair of sky-high metallic heels.

"I wanna love glitter and also stand up for the double standards that exist in our society. I wanna wear pink, and tell you how I feel about politics. I don’t think those things have to cancel each other out.” - @taylorswift," Nastia Liukin captioned the thigh gap pictures. Taking to the gymnast's post, several followers sounded off with many right-wing followers scolding Nastia Liukin for her role model.
"If Tay Tay was a conservative she’d be excoriated not celebrated. Let’s address double standards because conservative women are definitely never called inspiring," one follower wrote. Keep scrolling!
The comment triggered several responses from both parties. "Because conservatism is uninspiring...in every way. It is suppression, stagnant, and misogynistic," someone replied. "I am a conservative and am disgusted by today’s double standards. You’re not allowed to have your voice if you aren’t saying what the Left wants you to say. I choose morals and truth over the world’s ways," commented another.
Not everyone joined in on the debate. While some praised Nastia Liukin for her wardrobe, others couldn't look away from her runway-worthy legs! See more here!
