Gymnast Nastia Liukin Unzipped Amid Thigh Gap Outrage

Scroll for the unzipped action. Nastia, followed by 1 million on Instagram, sparked anger amid her fussy fans ahead of the weekend as one of her all-pink countdown looks came with a quote shouting out 31-year-old "folklore" singer Taylor Swift. Liukin, quoting the blonde Grammy winner, had mentioned watching Swift's documentary, stating:

"While re-watching her documentary it reminded me yet once again that we really all can still inspire others while fighting and speaking for what we believe in - without getting cancelled."

Nastia, who is regularly a target for trolls, now sees a fan replying: "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."

The response, which garnered likes, adds to the list of hateful users seemingly not wishing the blonde well, with 2021 already seeing a troll ask to see her "gross skinny chicken legs." And they got clapped back at. All smiles during the Cup, though, Nastia had the last laugh.

Nastia, all over TV as the Cup was aired, quickly posted to her stories during the event, taking a break from the stunning denim-and-pink look donned to host it. The 2008 all-around champion, in selfie mode, was all grinning with dog Harley while indoors. She appeared in a dark and sporty zip-up top, but the action was unzipped as the beauty blogger wrote:

"Omg, just found this unposted video from the other day - very applicable. Missing Harley and my @juneshinco." Scroll for her insane space jeans!

Nastia, who retired aged just 22 back in 2012, sees her legacy living on via the Nastia Cup. The Moscow native has also been reflecting on 12 years of her Cup, recently writing:

"As I look back to where I was exactly a year ago today I can’t believe how much things have changed. While so many things in life, especially this last year, have been unpredictable, I continue to believe I’m finally right where I should be, and everything I ever needed was always right in front of me."
