Nastia Liukin Joins the Beacon Street Girls Family

One of the stars of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, gold medalist gymnast Nastia Liukin has joined the Beacon Street Girls community. Members of the BSG community can "friend" Nastia, leave comments on her whiteboard and keep up-to-date on her travels & competitions. You can view her profile by clicking here.

Fans also catch up with the gymnast in the Club BSG Gymnastics Team. There they will be able to read exclusive interviews with the champion and experienced for themselves the excitement, energy and suspense of Olympic competition. This public forum allows tween girls with the ability to connect with Liukin on a personal level, not just as an Olympian.

In a statement, Liukin said, “I appreciate all the encouragement and love reading the notes girls leave on my Club BSG whiteboard.  Plus, through the Gymnastics Team on the site, I have the ability to reach even more girls than ever before!  On the site, we will be talking about self-esteem and staying fit through positive life choices.

At at time when the "bad girls" of Hollywood seem to be constantly in the spotlight, Nastia is a refreshing breath of fresh air, who provides both parents and tween girls with a positive role model and testament that with hard work, passion and determination---dreams do come true.
