Nastia Liukin put her super-slim figure on display over the weekend, going a little offbeat as she shouted out the 5th of July. Posting on Instagram after Independence Day, the Olympic gymnast dropped jaws in a tiny bikini to kick off her gallery, one including her love of market produce, her dog Harley, plus an impressive handstand walk. Nastia, who has five Olympic medals under her belt, reminded fans of her toned limbs while looking stylish in a two-tone swimsuit, but even early replies to her post mentioned her weight. One fan bluntly said she had a "huge" gap.

Scroll for the photos. Snapping an indoor selfie while confidently gazing into her phone, Nastia modeled a black and cream bikini, rocking a structured cupped top with slightly ruched accents, plus thick straps.

Flashing her washboard abs while teasing her curves, the Russian-born sensation added high-waisted bottoms to match, here flaunting her very slender legs and thigh gap. Nastia wore her light hair down, completing her look with necklace, ring, and earring jewelry, plus a full face of makeup.

Including fresh berries and a fancy grocery store's fruit collection, Nastia went mish-mash in the rest of her slides, also posting footage of an ocean sunset. The APL collaborator made sure to feature dog Harley in one slide, with a further one showing her walking on her hands across an indoor training space. "1. The 5th of July," she wrote before using strawberry emoji, shouting out Erewhon Market, and saying: "If you’re new here, hi my name is Anastasia."

Nastia also shouted out "being excited about life." Quick to reply, one fan said: "You look amazing Nastia."

Told 'The Dog Weighs More Than You' In Leggy Dress

The "huge gap" comment likely referred to Nastia Liukin's tiny frame. The sentiment manifested again in the above post as Nastia slipped her figure into a white boucle minidress while posing with her pooch.

"The dog weighs more than you do," one user replied. In 2020, Nastia made headlines for shutting down a fan in a high-profile anorexia storm, but her followers are still commenting on her shape.  "I’ve been into overnight oats, eggs with avocado and everything but the bagel seasoning, or a smoothie," Nastia wrote on her website while outlining her "morning routine."

"This is when I’ve been having my coffee lately, too. It’s made such a difference to push it to a bit later in the morning," Nastia Liukin continued.

In the above Instagram photo, Nastia let loose on a golden-sand beach, showing off her impressive abs and toned waistline while in a pale pink gym look. She opted for tight leggings, a sports bra, plus a matching cute hoodie worn off the shoulder.
