You get the best of both worlds 🎶
Shawn obviously deserves all the respect. But when you do those powerful moves and make them look completely effortless, gracefull, flued and ellegant like Nastia. That's next level
Wait that was 2 different girls? They look the same to me. Both are ridiculously skilled. It's amazing what some people are capable of.
Maybe I’m just a noob but both of these look exactly the same to me😂
I prefer a Shawn
Nastia is incredible to watch
Shawn over Natia anytime haha
Nastia is what I would consider the gymnastics we saw between the 1970s through the early 2000s. Graceful and beautiful but heavily marred by eating disorders, exploitation, and unnatural strain on the body. I think that the gymnasts we see today are okay with being muscular, whereas in Nastia's time, being slender was part of gymnastics. You wanted that long, lean look, just like in figure skating. No one in the 90s would've accepted a gymnast that weighed more than 120 lbs.
the thing is: they are built different!
Nastia is very lean and tall, while Shaw is shorter and more muscular.
In the end it is personal preference what style you like more because they are both terrific sportswomen
Great post. Thanks so much🌟
I could watch Nastia all day. Although we have amazing strength in the US team I think we lack elegance and flexibility.
Shawn should of won imo, her performance was held together and powerful
They both do their skills perfectly with basically no stumble .
Shawn all the way. Power and solid as a rock.
女性ジムナストの皆様の演技は大変好感が持てますね!
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!
both are good. I remember those days when they competed. However, Liukin hit my heart.
Shawn’s layout series is one of my favorite things in this world, but over all, I have to admit that Nastia just does it for me. her elegance makes it looks like she’s floating the whole time, and there’s not enough gymnasts like her anymore
в гимнастике и уровнях сложности связок и элементов не понимаю, но именно визуально Настя Люкин гораздо более лучше воспринимается. Движения у нее элегантные, легкие, изящные, без натяга и напряжения. Вторая гимнастка какая-то тяжелая и приземистая.
Two different body types, two different skills
I love Shawn's tumble series, but damn do I wish Nastia had kept her old one! She used to do a handspring-layout-layout (all stepouts) and it was gorgeous!! I've always loved her style
I think shawn definitely takes more risks
Shawn's splits are atrocious!
I’ll take elegance over power any day.
Nastia luikin is what made me so interested in gymnastics, so fluid, but she can also come in with amazing tumbles. Her leaps in particular are sooo elegant and beautiful. I feel like she is abit underrated compared to some power house performers however she does the exact same and makes it look so smooth and effortless
everyone can see that shawn has immense power, but i know nastia does as well. liukin intentionally tries to look elegant but her strength is there nonetheless. just look at her amplitude in the leaps
It’s fun when I know I can do each skill on the trampoline – not the dismount
shawn johnson doing standing layouts on the beam is just crazy. nastia is my favorite tho! those feet
I miss nastia's style of gymnastics so much. She was so elegant and flexible and just beautiful to watch.
WTF happened at 1:42? What type of dark magic is that?🤔😐👍
Those young women on the balance beams are absolutely breathtaking. I'd be dead if I tried anything like that.
I’d die for Nastia’s leg line
These are both incredible! But my favorite beam routine of all time is Dominique Moceanu’s at the 1996 Olympics. Her mount, to this day, is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Larry Nassar got to rub those feet. Not fair
Who do you call powerful and who do you call elegant? To me, Nastia is both while Shawn is fast and has more momentum than power.
(They are both awesome anyway, of course)
Shawn was the lil engine that could. Lol.
Industrial mech! Beam work.
Their interpretations– are what's, they need – and do – the excercise? Dumb Ases
Nastia looks like a ballerina on the beam
I always enjoyed Elegance over Power whether it’s gymnastics or ice skating. Very few have both.
Not even watching. The title is divisive. Why?
Both awesome
Mil veces Nastia!!! La única gimnasta de USA que entendió la elegancia, plasticidad y que es gimnasia ARTÍSTICA!!!
shawn is just rock solid
shawn is just rock solid
The comparison or which is better is ridiculous. Every athlete is different & their entire sports career must be catered to their differences; their body type, comfort zone, strengths, weaknesses, execution, mental acuity, etc… You either embrace their uniqueness or insist on having one way of doing things, then complain about things being formulaic, same & boring.
