Nastia Liukin Cup
About The Nastia Liukin Cup
On Aug. 11, 2009, USA Gymnastics and Nastia Liukin announced a partnership to create the Nastia Liukin Cup, which would provide a competitive opportunity for the country’s top Junior Olympic gymnasts. Net proceeds from the Nastia Liukin Cup go into...
There are often questions on this forum about "is it fair for former elites to compete L10?" or "Is it fair for someone training tops to compete L4?" or "Is it fair for someone with L7 skills to compete L5?" etc. etc. and my opinion to all of these is a simple "yes." I mean, we all know that...

This is not meant to be controversial! It's an honest question. Nastia consistently scored nearly a point higher on bars than any score that was awarded to those who were best on the other events. I have found SO many flaws with Nastia's bars.
-Lands her Pak almost in a front support
-Flexed...
Does anyone know how a meet becomes a Nastia Liukin qualifying meet? Are they certain requirements that need to be met? Is there an application that needs to be submitted? I can't seem to find any information on how those qualifying meets are selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I was checking out the start lists for the US Classic, and I noticed that names that I saw in the Nastia Liukin Cup are not at the US Classic, nor were they at the American Classic.
I don't know enough - and obviously less than I thought I did - but why wouldn't those girls from the Nastia cup...
Wow....when Sophia got hurt in October and had to have ankle surgery I sure didn't expect her to compete in January and surely not to qualify to the Nastia Liukin Cup. She did her first floor routine since the surgery two days before the meet with watered down tumbling. She did modified...
My daughter would like to go to a local tour stop, but I have some questions.
Is the price $125 a ticket? I saw that somewhere, but not on the official site. Do parents buy tickets, or just for the kids? Is it a drop off thing?
If your daughter went, was it worth the money and was it a...
Does anyone have the inside scoop on when these will be posted? The schedule was posted July 29th last year so I have been checking the website constantly for the last 10 days.
One of my gymnasts asked me to explain why the USAG site lists Nastia as being a member of the national team Link Removed when she was as young as 6 YO (according to the years listed). I had no idea how to answer this question! I was thinking that TOPS involvement was included, but according to...
The funniest thing regarding gymnastics parents since watching Aly Raisman's parents watch her at the Olympics was listening to Mary Lou Retton during her daughter's floor routine! So funny!
Someone posted an inquiry about this competition and if it will be viewed on television or not. They are broadcasting it, however, some people may not be able to watch it on TV (such as myself) :( But I'm gonna watch it online through my TV :D And it will be televised at 7:30 pm est.
I posted a...
DD REALLY wants to watch the Nastia cup on Friday. I looked online and it does not appear to be televised but I was wondering if it would be online somewhere?
