Nastia's Dad on the left and Nastia on the right. Valeri Liukin is soooo proud of his daughter.

WE WON THE GOLD & SILVER!!!!!!!

Thursday night was the women's gymnastics all-round competition were Nastia Liukin 18 year old from Parker, Tx and 16 year old Shawn Johnson from West DesMoines, Iowa competed to keep the Gold medal in the United States. Carly Patterson one of my favorite gymnast who is also from North Texas won the the Gold medals in the 2004 Olympics in Athens 4 years ago for the first time since Mary Lou Retten in the 1992 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Then comes Nastia Liukin, her dad and coach Valeri Liukin won 4 medals in the 1988 Seoul games and her mom Anna Liukin competed in Rhythmic gymnastics, so all the reporters are saying that its in Nastia blood to win gold. When Nastia and Shawn won the gold and silver medals that was the first time in history(i'm not sure if its just u.s. or if its olympic history) anyone has gone one and two in the Olympics. CONGRATULATION NASTIA & SHAWN!!
