Love Nastia! She's a great role model for young aspiring gymnasts and one of the few remaining ARTISTIC female gymnasts around. She was a complete breath of fresh air in Beijing.
I can't imagine the pressure she was under trying to emulate her Dad's feats 20 years earlier, so I think she should take everything she gets offered from her achievements and run with it.
I know if my little girl was old enough I'd much rather see her wear something that Nastia does than the likes of Lohan, Spears or Hannah Montana.
As an Aussie I'm pretty much cheering all our athletes but last night when Matty hit that dive, I was in tears for him. You have to feel for the Chinese guy who ballsed up his final dive, but Matt was sublime. What an unassuming nice kid who nailed his dives the way he'd been training them with so much pressure on his shoulders. All of Australia are so proud of him, as should be the whole gay community. :)
