Gymnast Nastia Liukin In Cowgirl Bikini Is Here For ‘Whoever Might Need This’

Gymnast Nastia Liukin stunned fans in her skimpy bikini at the ocean last month, but there was more to it than just a swimwear showoff. The five-time Olympic medalist, who has been sparking weight worries amid her fans, showed off her lean frame in a colorful printed two-piece as she threw in a cowboy hat finish, posting her bikini look to open a gallery and continuing the self-care messages in it with a caption to match. In a nutshell, this post was for "whoever might need this," and it seems that her 1 million+ fans were grateful.

Scroll for the photo. All sunkissed as she stood on beach rocks and backed by crashing waves, Nastia wowed as she highlighted her long, lean legs and tiny waist while modeling a skimpy, floral-print bikini with a cupped underwire top. Rocking her white, green, and pink number as she channeled her inner girly side, the Russian-born sensation placed both hands to her head, smiling from beneath a straw cowboy hat and completing her look with a pair of shades.

Also showcasing her taut abs and trim hips as she flaunted a mean tan, Nastia got her fans' attention with her bikini body, but it looks like her point was making sure that everyone takes care of themselves. A series of motivational quotes followed, with Liukin writing: "A mid-day mid-week post to whoever might need it + whatever you might going thru: this is your sign. you got this."

"Love your pictures and your positive attitude!" one fan replied. A few fans, however, commented on Nastia's weight, or at least mentioned food. "Any snack bars on that beach?" one asked. Nastia's recent posts have seen fans expressing concern that she's too slender, and that's something she's been through before.

In 2020, Nastia made headlines for clapping back after a fan suggested that she looked like she had an eating disorder. After being told that she looks "borderline" anorexic, the blonde fired back.

"It made me feel: defeated, p*ssed, sad, annoyed, confused, shocked, and many other feelings. If taking pictures of my OWN body — a body that won me many Olympic medals, a body that I push each day to get stronger, a body that God gave me — is inherently promoting anorexia, then honestly, we've gotten to a place in the world where just BEING is offensive," she wrote on Instagram. Nastia regularly updates with mentions of food and maintains that her lifestyle and nutrition are balanced.

Proving that gymnastics isn't her only skillset, Nastia hit the green for a game of golf in this post, showing off her legs in a pleated white miniskirt and orange sweater as she posed club-in-hand. She tagged herself in Frisco, TX.
