Gymnast Nastia Liukin Hits The Pool In An American Flag Bikini For The Fourth Of July

Shortly before the Fourth of July was officially over, the five-time Olympic medalist took to Instagram to share a few photos that featured her standing in her backyard pool. Her toned abs look better than ever as she stands in the shallow water, showing off the droplets of water that can be seen sticking to her tanned skin.

She is wearing a strapless bikini top that features the white stars of the flag on a navy blue background, while the small strip of fabric in her white thong features white and red stripes. Nastia complimented her outfit with a black baseball cap, dark shades, and a few looping gold necklaces around her neck. She also wore a series of colorful bracelets around her right wrist.

Fans Are In Love With Nastia’s Relatable Caption!

The 2008 Olympic all-around champion also shared a close-up blurry photo that featured her standing directly in front of the camera as she adjusted her bikini top around her chest. In the caption, she wrote, “pov: me trying to excel in my career, maintain a social life, drink enough water, exercise, text everyone back, stay sane, survive, have great skin, celebrate our country, and be happy… xoxo, me + bikini that sees the light outside the bottom of the drawer once a year 🥳🇺🇸 happy fourth!!!”

Journalist Ashley Edlund commented, “Never related to a caption more,” prompting Nastia to reply, “Right?” alongside two laughing emojis. “You are enough without all of that,” another follower wrote. “Isn’t that all of us? Doing the same thing here,“ another fan chimed in. “You appear to have everything under control and done easy and stress-free,” another follower shared.

Fans Criticize Nastia For Being ‘Too Skinny’ … Again!

Even though one fan told her, “That suit is fire! You look amazing!!” Nastia again received comments that she was “too skinny.” One user wrote, “Girl you need to breathe and relax frl….gain some weight…my opinion though.” One fan clapped back, “Maybe she can’t gain weight? That’s just as bad as telling someone overweight to lose weight. You are one of the people that’s damaging to society. Congrats.”

Another user commented, “Why are these just torso shots glorifying what it looks like to be underweight? Hoping to perpetuate more body neutrality on social media.” One fan asked, “Because maybe she struggles to gain weight just like so many struggle to lose. If we can glorify thick/overweight women why can’t we glorify thin/underweight women?” Another follower added, “Imagine body shaming her for being skinny. Yikes.”

Nastia Practiced A Little Bit Of Self-Care On July 4th Too!

“It’s her body. She can show it if she wants to,” another fan chimed in. “She was tiny as an Olympic gymnast and she has maintained her fitness into adulthood. She looks great!” another follower exclaimed, but the comments about her size kept rolling in, with another user asking, “Are you just naturally that skinny? Or do you have to work to stay there?”

“Why does it matter?” another fan asked. “I mean… she was an Olympic gymnast,” another follower pointed out. “She’s much tinier than when she was a gymnast. But some people’s metabolism makes it hard to gain weight. Her genetics make her tiny,” another fan shared, pointing out that her mother, who was also a gymnast, is petite as well.

It Looks Like Nastia Enjoyed A Feast For Her Fourth Of July Party!

Nastia usually deletes comments on her Instagram posts when they start talking about her body, but she hasn’t deleted them quite yet. Before she does, fans were quick to make sure to offer her messages of support.

“Do you ever get sick of complete strangers telling you what to eat and how to dress? I truly hope you are able to let those comments roll off your back! I mean you were a world and Olympic champion in your teens I’m pretty sure your capable of feeding and dressing yourself!!” another fan commented. Their comment rings especially true, given that Nastia shared a photograph of the burgers and veggie spread that she laid out for her 4th of July party!
