She nailed her dismount.

16.125 was the score!!!

Almost eight years later and I still come back to this time after time. Feels like the Beijing Olympics were just yesterday. But man Nastia was probably one of the most graceful gymnasts ever.. I'm a dancer and I'm so incredibly jealous of her legs and feet. Her lines are just gorgeous!! She's my favorite gymnast of all time.

Probably the only gymnast I've ever seen who keeps her legs straight during the entire aerial front walkover.

Oh Nastia, you make it look so easy...

Nastia really deserved the gold. She really brings the "artistic" back to the artistic gymnastics

Probably the best Olympic beam routine of all time. Shawn and Nastia were extremely talented gymnasts.

She is by far one of the most beautiful gymnasts there ever were

"Wow! Stunning! The best!" says it all for me! No one does it like Nastia! There is a fluidity, wholeness, and grace in her work that is such a joy to watch. The pointed toes, graceful arms, straight legs. I've been watching complicated routines of recent years. Without the graceful dance elements as Nastia mastered, they are missing something...as difficult and complicated as they are.

This beam routine from Nastia literally steals the air from my lungs every time I watch it and it’s been over a decade. Truly one of the first and only times I experienced what “breathtaking” meant!

No one like her anymore... damnit I miss 2008.

Love how elegant and beautiful nastias routines are. None of the 2016 gymnasts had routines like hers

I remember this vividly...I was on holiday in Siesta Key, Florida at the time having a meal at Red Lobster. The entire restaurant went silent during this performance and cheered wildly at the end.

My ringtone is "STUNNING!! ..THE BEST"

Her dismounts in this routine and the AA vault were just ridiculously perfect

I could watch her performances ALLLLLL DAYYYYY. Her legs and feet, always such beautiful lines. Such grace and fluidity. When you're truly, TRULY good at something......you make it look easy. She always made this look so simple!

I remember watching her and Shawn when I was a kid!!! She was the gymnast we all wanted to be 😭😭😭 nobody can ever match her grace, especially on beam. She didn't just hit her routine she performed it

Forever my favorite gymnast.

No one worked the beam like Nastia did. Stunning

1:32 Gosh, I love that blonde judge. She looks up and smiles when Nastia and Shawn dismount.

I always come back and watch this!

her onodi is insane. you dont even see her body turn. ive never seen anyone do it like her.

WOW! STUNNING! The best.

0:50 is one of the coolest athletic moves ive ever seen

She was a BEAUTIFUL gymnast. Her mom was a Rhythmic gymnast that’s why she has such beauty!

She was such an elegant performer. I'm so sad she retired ! No one can compete with her beauty , elegance , grace , rhythm , and flexibility !

The only gymnast, along with Viktoria Komova, that makes side somis look good

Loved Nastia,she wasn't around in gymnastics nearly long enough. She's one of my favorites!♥️👏

This and Shannon Miller's 1991 Olympic Beam are my two fave beam routines of all time. GOATs :)

Go Nastia!

平均台の演技は女性らしさが溢れ出ていて大変好感が持てますね!

12 years ago and im still in awe of this performance

Her flexibility is like that of a rubber doll... Balancing is toughest part of balance beam...at time when she was just a little off balance..she just did some moves from her hands ..to make it more beautiful...and the dismount was done with utmost perfection...

she was on fire that day

19/8/2015 and im still watching this. omg how elegance she was!!

I love Nastia sooo much she is my fave gymnast ever I have watched her routines like 20 times each

I miss 2008 so much, gymnastics was awesome to watch in these days !

That dismount was ..stunning. Video really needed to include her score.

Идеальная гимнастка! Фигура, внешность, линии!!!! Гибкая, растянутая, сильная, резкая и мягкая одновременно!!!.И характер чемпионский!!!!

Shes so graceful! Love her long lines

I love this girl! She has always been my favorite, so beautiful and graceful

Literally, not to sound creepy... but she has the prettiest legs on a gymnast I’ve ever seen. Her lines are perfection. So beautiful to watch.

Other than the slow connections and that bad ring leap, her form and execution is so beautiful to watch.

She’s so graceful I can’t stop watching this

How I miss the elegance of a gymnast like Nastia. For the USA maybe Kyla Ross comes the closest.

She always had such beautiful lines through all of her skills.

I have very fond memories of this Olympics. I was jsut some gamer kid stuck in my room playing counter strike but it was Nastia who let me come out to watch and gain appreciation for the sport. Over a decade later still here.

Great routine with so many beautiful connecting elements. That dismount was everything.

That onodi 😱😱 she is so graceful

no one can do it like her

The clunk the beam makes is so satisfying idk why 😅

This is the most beautiful beam routine ever. Hands down.

She is so elegant that it’s like she’s a bird! So graceful, her feet barely even make any noise when she lands on the beam

For me anyway, she’s the most elegant, graceful gymnast to ever grace the beam. ❤

Best gymnast since Shannon Miller.

Front flip into an arabesque, wow! Flawless grace and line with difficulty and stuck landing too. Awesome 💝

Spectacular

She is a beautiful gymnast Looks like a ballet doll

Simply the best...EVER

She is incredible. I got goosebumps watching this. Incredible flexibility, creativity and poise

I watch this girl's performances so often - and never tire of them. Fluid, flexible, solid, challenging tumbling. She's got it all. Very poised, too.

Nothing short of grace,beauty and PHENOMENAL TALENT..God bless her

Oh my gosh!! She was always one of my favorites, sorry I'm fangirling out!! She was great!!

In my opinion this was her best event. The poise she has is on full display on beam and she has almost no errors unlike her bars or floor. Beautiful and difficult work.

she's like a beautiful... bird, spider, hexagonal, geometric, transforming... person.. hahaha. watching her is a joy

Rio 2016 just opened but I'm still coming back for this. ❤️

That was a great landing!!!

*STUNNING* *…The Best*

Give me this kind of balletic elegance and grace every time! Thumbs up for the gymnastics of Nastia Liukin!

I've literally watched this 9234589457238409572346892423985729347598234687623489562783452098375 times. Such beauty in this routine.

The beam routine of a lifetime.

Most beautiful routine ever by the most beautiful gymnasts ever. And eleven years later she's even more beautiful.

Amazing talent. Such grace and beauty in her movement. It's like poetry. But she makes it flow like it's nothing. Soo happy she won

Greatest of all time?

She's such a beautiful gymnast. She makes it look so effortless.

Absolutely stunning athleticism. I remember watching her when I was in high school.

the 2016 Olympics is amazing BUT lacks artistry by a mile its all about the power can we get some elegance back?

Gymnast as it should be full of grace!

Nastia is so graceful and beautiful while she does gymnastics

The Best. Flexibility, elegance, execution.

She was so amazing to watch definitely my all around favorite

Ok so the score on this was 16.125. In the event final she got a 16.025. There were some slight balance checks but a stuck landing her, but in the event final she was perfect aside from a hop on the landing of the dismount.

I know this was so long ago but I think I have a new appreciation for Nastia. I was always a power gymnast and related more to Shawn, I wanted Shawn to win the all around so bad. I felt so clunky on beam and bars, I think I was jealous of Nastia, which is so weird to say, but hey I was only a teenager, the same age as Nastia actually, damn emotions don't know what they're talking about. Anyway, the point is, Nastia absolutely deserved the All Around gold even though to me she wasn't the favorite at all to win. Love her so much after all these years, so graceful and everything I could never be. What's the walkover thing? Onodi? Gorgoeous, she's such a pro at them.

This is still the best beam routine I've ever seen.

Stunning every single time I was this she’s mesmerizes me !!! Her grace and elegance is so refreshing compared to the gymnast of today . They lack artistry and polish to make the skills flow like Nastia does . No one comes close 💖💖💖💖💖 Queen👑

She looks tall too which must make this so much harder, yet she makes it look so easy!

Like her style. So good! Ana Porgras, Nastia, Sanne Wevers, Sui Lu... Unique girls...

Her and Shawn are forever my favorites. Saw them in 2008 and will never forget it!

La perfection ! Une des plus belles prestations que j'aie pu voir ; beaucoup de difficultés...

This iconic pink leotard

God, we need someone like her back on the American team...all power, no artistry now.

I agree, FOREVER MY FAVORITE GYMNAST. Absolutely beautiful. I keep coming back to these videos. Just amazing to watch.

It's crazy to me that next year, this routine will be a decade old. 10 freaking years. in my opinion, the 08 Beijing Olympics were the best Olympics of this generation. If your in your early 20s or late teens, chances are the Olympic Games you remember best is 2008 one. such nostalgia!

I love the beginning her front aerial and back handspring step out back layout step out it's beautiful

That landing thou

I saw this live. Now her and I are in our 30's. Wow how time flies.

There just hasn't been a gymnast as elegant as Nastia since she retired. She is missed. :)

Nastia Full Of Grace 💙

My daughter is IN LOVE with Nastia Liukin

She's so amazing at what she does and the fact after all these years she still keeps in contact with the sport makes me happy.
