All About the Nastia Liukin Gymnastics Cup

     To start the host of the Nastia Liukin gymnastics cup is Nastia Liukin who is the 2008 olympic all-around gold medalist. In the cup Nastia will first greet and wish all of the gymnast a great meet! After Nastia greets all the gymnasts they start competing on these four events; Floor, vault, bars, and beam. Once every gymnast is done competing in all of these events there is an award ceremony to decide who has won first place! 


 


       The host Nastia Liukin’s full name in Anastasia Liukin. She was born on October 30th, 1989 in Moscow, russa. She started gymnastics in 1993 when she was 4 and she first went to the Olympics in 2008 where she won 1st all-around. Nastia started gymnastics because her parents were gymnastics coaches and Nastia would always hang out in the gym with her parents.

  2. Wow! I really like how you designed your blog post. I think it looks great to have that first sentence be pink to match your theme. It draws my attention right to your first sentence and gets me to start reading. I also like how you put pictures between paragraphs to match what each one was talking about. Good work!
