Gymnast Nastia Liukin Arches Back In Braless Test For 'Flexibility Test'

Nastia Liukin nailed her "flexibility test" on March 2, sharing a stunning shot of herself in a sweeping dress on Instagram. Highlighting her athletic figure, the Olympic gymnast stunned the camera in a strappy, braless number, stretching her back for a reminder of how agile her rubber-band body is. Turning heads as she lifted one arm above her head and arched her back while in metallic heels, Nastia wrote: "Passed the flexibility test," although her 1 million followers have seen far more impressive displays of her Olympian flexibility. The post even gained a like from gymnast Olivia Dunne.

Scroll for the photo. Posing from a studio with a blue backdrop, Nastia leaned backward, highlighting her super-slim arms, shoulders, and waist. Hiding her toned legs in a maxi dress in textured white, the Russian-born sensation rocked barely-there straps, going braless in her chic gown while throwing her head back.

Hinting at her world-class flexibility as she reached her right hand down one leg, Nastia held a pendant charm in the other hand, completing her look with a belt, plus silver heels that were just about visible.

Letting her blonde locks cascade down her back, Nastia kept glam with a sunkissed face of makeup, wearing foundation and bronzer, plus a defined brow and red lip. "Passed the flexibility test," she amusingly wrote before tagging her entire glam team.

"Strike a pose...love it," one user replied. "Stunning as always," another said. Nastia may have retired in her early twenties, but the 2008 Beijing Olympic face is still super relevant in the world of gymnastics. She hosts the annual Nastia Cup and proved a prominent commentary face at last year's Paris Olympics. Nastia had tagged Kate Barton, posting jointly with the fashion designer.

Nastia Liukin has maintained her gymnast physique, one she showed off to the max in this bikini photo. Posting on her Instagram last month, she highlighted her insanely defined hips and thighs, looking stylish in a black two-piece and sunhat as she enjoyed a day at the ocean.

"I wake up around 5 or 5:30 and work out. For me, it’s really important to get a workout in as soon as I wake up because if I don’t do it then I feel like I’m not going to have a chance to do it. I try to get four to five days a week," she told The Cut, although recent Instagram videos from her have been showing her up even earlier.

Nastia Liukin does wind up skinny-shamed on Instagram, with some fans thinking that she's gotten too thin. In this snapshot, she wore denim shorts for an OOTD selfie, with one user replying: "You even have facial wasting. You look much older bc you're choosing not to nourish your body."
