Nastia Liukin Wins Gold Medal - Women's All-Around Competition

L-R: Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, China's Yang Yilin

Liukin brings home the gold her father nearly had
Her floor routine was spectacular. The 18-year-old's usually stoic expression melted away with each landed tumbling pass. On her final pass, Liukin landed, raised her arms and smiled, something she rarely -- if ever -- does while performing. It was hard not to smile along with her. As she walked off the floor, Liukin walked to her teammate and slapped hands. For a moment, they looked into each other's eyes, a moment of silent acknowledgement of the long road both women had taken to get to this point.

"When I saw her score come up, I knew I couldn't score six-tenths higher," Johnson said, her chin shaking as she spoke to the media. "So going into floor, I didn't care about score or placement anymore. I just wanted to finish my Olympic experience as best I could."

Just like her teammate, Johnson finished the competition with a flawless routine, then walked to her teammate and gave her a hug. "Nastia has been around a long time and has a lot of experience and she deserves the gold," Johnson said. "I was meant to have the silver."

Liukin is only the third American woman to win the all-around; Carly Patterson (2004) and Mary Lou Retton (1984) are the others.

But perhaps this is not Johnson's final chance at individual gold.

After the meet, both gymnasts retracted earlier comments that this Olympics would mark the end of their careers.

"Now she is thinking to keep going," Valeri said of his daughter.

Then, during the news conference, Johnson said she'd changed her mind, too.

"A month ago, I would have said I was done," Johnson said. "But after being here, I would give anything to feel this way again." ESPN

You know, people would always say that you were an ass here and there and I would wonder why. Now, I don't have to wonder anymore.

Oriental chicks always look younger than their actual ages. They are on average shorter (height wise), smaller body frame and are more flat chested than their caucasion counter parts. Look at those J-POP stars in Japan. The 18 year olds look like their 14. If you're ever on the pull in the Far East, make sure you ask for ID first.

But 4'6", 68 pounds, that's not a 16 yr. old. No way. Oh, by the way, I am in love with Liukin, that is one legal hottie teen full of flexibility who can grab by bar all she wants.

Orientals know how to work hard instead of getting into college playing football.

That was only true about 30 years ago when only the rich smart orientals could get out of their homelands. Now that more orientals have invaded, there is a broader mix. In fact less orientals make it to college than whites. Most orielntal broads go into black on asian porn and most oriental teen boys do ladyboy videos. So Sorry.

Nah! Orientals who arrived like 30 years ago and their children who have assimilated into the mainstream are still over achievers. It’s the recent new comers, the dirty illegal cross borders and lorry back end riders who are scum.

You're right about the beaners, but I have met plenty of dumb chinks too. But at least they are both willing to work a little harder than some other "undesirables" who have been here much longer.

WHY THE FUCK IS SHE WEARING A STUPID PINK LEOTARD? LAST TIME I CHECKED SHES COMPETING AND REPRESENTING THE U.S.A THERE FOR SHOULD BE WEARING RED WHITE OR BLUE!!!!!

Coz at heart, she's still a Ruskie. Wear stars and stripes for the team. But when you're competing for the individual title, you wear whatever representing yourself. Guess she doesn't feel American enough to wear the US leotard, some loyalty to the glorious Russian motherland perhaps.

WELL THATS BULLSHIT REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LIVED AND TRAINED IN THE U.S YOU ARE COMPETING AND REPRESENTING FOR THE U.S WEAR THE FUCKING COLORS END OF STORY! IF SHE HAD STAYED AND LIVED IN RUSSIA SHE WOULD NOT HAVE HAVE GOTTEN TO WHERE SHE IS NOW! WHAT A STUPID BITCH!

Contestants 1 & 2 (white girls) seem to have breastistises and bushy nappy dugouts. However, Contestant #3 (ching chong girl) appears to be titty-free and shaven/pre-pube. I think this may warrant further investigation involving the contestants, a video camera and my urine.

Thoia thoia thoia thoia thoing (China via satelite, come on ya'll)!!!!!
