Liukin今天表現的真好! 忍不住想要多了解她一些 以下英文原文來自http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=621/bio/index.html 中文是自己翻的，非專業請見諒 Born: October 30, 1989 Moscow, Soviet Union Hometown: Parker, TX Residence: Parker, TX Ht: 5'3" Liukin grabs gold Nastia Liukin captured the Olympic gold medal in the all-around competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics defeating teammate Shawn Johnson who finished in second. She added this medal to the family's trophy case exactly twenty years after her father captured two golds at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Liukin在2008北京奧運女子體操全能項目奪得金牌，隊友Johnson獲得銀牌。20年前，她的父 親在1988年的漢城奧運也奪得了兩面金牌。 2008 Olympic lead-up With one of the most difficult uneven bars routines in the world, Liukin took the American Cup title over Shawn Johnson in March. In April, she won the Pacific Rim Championships. A stumble on floor at Nationals left her in second to Shawn Johnson, but Liukin's Day 2 all-around total proved that when both Liukin and Johnson hit, it's anyone's game. Liukin once again finished second to Johnson at the Olympic Trials, but it was enough to secure a berth on the 2008 Olympic Team. 今年3月American cup，Liukin在最困難的高低槓項目擊敗Johnson。4月，她贏得了 Pacific Rim Championships。 Russian roots Liukin was born in Moscow of the former Soviet Union and goes by Nastia, the Russian diminutive of Anastasia. Liukin is fluent in Russian and English, speaks some Spanish and would like to learn French. Liulin出生於莫斯科，Nastia是俄語Anastasia的暱稱。Liulin英文和俄文都很流利， 會說一點西班牙文，想要學習法文。 All in the family Nastia's parents are products of the Soviet gymnastics machine. Nastia's father, Valeri Liukin, was a double gold medalist (team, high bar) at the 1988 Seoul Games, and her mother, Anna Kochneva Liukin, was the 1987 rhythmic world champion with clubs. Citing their personal experiences (in wedding photos, Valeri is sporting a cast), Valeri and Anna were reluctant to let Nastia begin formal training. But since they could not afford a babysitter, Nastia tagged along to the gym. From the sidelines, Nastia began imitating the moves of gymnasts she watched and was soon outperforming them. Unable to ignore their four-year-old's natural talent, Valeri and Anna relented. Liukin的父母是前蘇聯體操機器的產物。父親Valeri是1988漢城奧運兩面金牌得主(團體 ，單槓)；母親Anna Kochneva 是1987世界錦標賽韻律體操冠軍(棒)。由於父母的個人經驗， 他們不願意讓Liukin接受正式的訓練。但他們無法負擔保母的費用，Liukin就跟著去體育 館了。在邊線外，Liukin開始模仿選手的動作，很快超越了他們。無法忽視這個4歲小孩 的天賦，Liukin的父母軟化了。 Better than dad ... and mom With nine medals from world championship competition, Liukin tied Shannon Miller's record. Liukin also owns more world medals than her parents do -- combined. 至今已獲得九面世界錦標賽的獎牌，Liukin平了Shannon Miller的紀錄。這些獎牌數也 超越他父母的獎牌數共同計算XD A face in the crowd Typically too nervous to watch her daughter compete, Anna Liukin leaves the competition arena after warm-ups. Such was not the case at the 2007 Worlds, where Anna stayed to watch Nastia during the beam final and cheered loudly enough for Nastia to hear. The support made a difference: after an up-and-down week, Nastia reclaimed her world title on beam. 她的母親通常在暖身後就離開競技場地，因為太緊張不敢看女兒比賽。但2007年，她的 母親在場邊觀看平衡木決賽，大聲開心的為女兒加油。母親到場支持發揮了作用。 So close In 1988, Valeri Liukin missed an all-around gold by one-tenth of a point. Nastia missed the all-round title at the 2005 Worlds by one-thousandth of a point. And though she's a world champion with clubs, Anna Liukin missed out on an all-around medal at the 1987 rhythmic worlds due to a minor error. 1988年，Liukin的父親在全能比賽以0.1分與金牌擦身而過。2005年世界錦標賽，Liukin 以.001分失去女子全能冠軍。她的母親雖然是韻律體操 棒 的世界冠軍，但1987年因為 微小的失誤而錯失了全能冠軍。 Bar none Liukin's first world title came in 2005 on the uneven bars, and she won back-to-back silver medals (to two different gymnasts) in 2006 and 2007 -- in close, somewhat controversial finishes. Her 2008 routine is among the most difficult in the world and also the most flawlessly executed, a combination that makes it hard to call anyone else the favorite for Olympic gold. 強項高低槓，難度高+完美呈現，最有希望問鼎奧運金牌。 Injury While training for the 2006 Worlds, Liukin sprained her right ankle on the trampoline, which limited her to a bars-only role in Aarhus, Denmark (she won the silver medal). She had surgery in late 2006. Just prior to the 2007 Pan American Games, Liukin's ankle injury flared up again, leaving her with little preparation time for the 2007 Nationals, where a disastrous first day of competition had many wondering if she was trying to do too much, too soon -- she had only been training floor and vault for about two weeks. Liukin proved her doubters wrong on the second night, storming back to claim third place. 受了好多傷>_< True grit As a 12-year-old competing in her first junior nationals in 2002, Liukin fell from uneven bars during the first rotation and left the podium in tears without completing her routine, holding her right elbow. She finished the competition, and despite counting a 6.8 score, made her first junior national team. Liukin says this is one of her proudest moments in the sport. 12歲入選國家隊，感到非常光榮。 Aspiring actress A rising freshman at Southern Methodist University in Texas, Liukin plans to study international business and has joked that she and teammate Alicia Sacramone, who is studying design at Brown, will open a boutique-clothing store together. Both are interested in acting, and Nastia had a small speaking role in the 2006 movie, StickIt!. She starred opposite Nadia Comaneci in an adidas commercial broadcast during the 2004 Olympic Games. 目前是大學生，計劃念國際企業，與隊友Sacramone(在Brown念設計)打趣說以後要開一家 精品+女裝的店。曾在電影中客串演出。 雖然說Liukin不笑的時候真的很像別人欠她錢，可是她身材真的很修長，非常賞心悅目。 Johnson真的就超可愛，笑容超陽光，小小一隻。 總之這兩位美國的選手都很棒，金銀牌實至名歸! -- Claire的小窩 http://tw.cyworld.com/claireing --
