Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin is all side-boob, back arched, and fully braless as a summer farmgirl with a twist. The 31-year-old five-time Olympic medalist, fresh from an array of super-leggy all-pink looks, yesterday threw it back to summer for her 1 million Instagram followers, continuing her "post a pic of" trend and obliging fans. Nastia, sparking anger this week with her massive thigh gap photos and Taylor Swift references, kept the drama out of it here, but she didn't scrimp on showing off the body. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photo. It comes as Liukin, who lives in Dallas, TX, regularly jokes about the weather being fine year-round, with the 2008 all-around champion taking it back to June 2020 as a fan requested a pic from this specific date.
All back and bronzed shoulders while out in countryside, the Russian-born star flipped her long blonde hair while in a ruffle, lettuce-trim sleeveless white sundress, also highlighting her slender frame as she arched her back a little and turned around just as the camera snapped her.

Throwing out gorgeous good looks, Nastia confirmed the June 30th date, then quickly disappearing as more stories answered yet more "post a pic of" requests - and they've even seen Nastia chowing down a massive pizza slice while flaunting her Olympian thigh gap in spandex leggings.
Nastia, who was just 22 when she retired back in 2012, is currently gearing up for the 12th annual Nastia Cup, now under a week away. See the braless photo and her massive yoga stretch below!

The Nastia Cup, which is likely to make one aspiring gymnast very happy, comes as Liukin continues her gymnast career despite having retired nearly a decade ago.
“My entire career, I wasn't the standard gymnast type. I was taller, lankier, skinnier, didn't really have the muscle or the quickness or the speed or the power that you're really supposed to have. Yet I became an Olympic all-around gold medalist," she told Forbes in 2019. And those gold medals are giving Liukin ammo for clap-backs. See the "gross skinny chicken legs" below.

Nastia, who faced an anorexia storm in October 2020, has been steadily clapping back at the skinny-shamers, with 2021 already seeing the gymnast shut down suggestions that she only fuels her mornings with black coffee. Likewise bringing a fire-back, was a fan asking Nastia to post a pic of her "gross skinny chicken legs" this year.
Nastia shared an upside-down splits shot from her professional days, writing: "Unclear if you're trying to be hurtful or what, but these "gross skinny chicken legs" helped me win an olympic gold medal, huh?"
