TCO just go, if you don’t like her, say it once, and get over it. You’re all over these blogs posting “she can’t do a double back she sucks.”

Who decided that everyone should have to do one? Your comments are annoying and completely unwarranted. These people are discussing some photos, not her gymnastics.

And calling it “pathetic” that she chooses to work to her strenghts? Please. There’s a reason that no one likes you, it is because you are annoying.

I’m going to try hard not to curse. I don’t think young ones should have to deal with that.

Say anything you like here, TCO.

I believe in freedom of speach.

But please, no profanity. I have a lot of young kids visiting this site.

“The fame from that is why she has been â€œchosen,â€ as you put it, for modeling. No need to hate.” QFT

Many famous people get chosen to do stuff they wouldn’t have been chosen to do if they weren’t famous. That is just a well known part of the biz. It’s a little silly to claim that Nastia can’t model when she’s doing exactly what so many other people in her position have been able to do.

I think she looks stunning in the photos. No, I don’t agree that “any teen-ager can look nice with that kind of airbrushing/hair and make-up…”

I agree with Rawles. She’s modeling because of her success with gymnastics and why shouldn’t she enjoy it?

I’m pleased to hear that she plans to continue training and competing.

Nastia is being well marketed by her agent that Valerie picked. Heck, he has done a good job of marketing her in gym. But she can’t do a double back. Pathetic.

Carli, who? JK*

Actually my dad made a comment that maybe Nadia could crossover and use her career to stem off into a career in the pop culture. Khorkina was a name in Russia ( though I’m sure posing for Playboy helped a lot ). A lot of athletes have tried to spin off their careers into the public forary. You need personality and looks besides a good PR machine. Luckily it seems she has the latter with all of her promotions in the past year equaling a couple mil from what I hear.

Not all of the awesome gymnasts out there are 9’s in the looks department. Yes, I’m a guy but it’s true it helps to be a good looker to break into that culture. I think Sacramone would have a better shot, but I might just be biased. Also, being older, she had a bit more of personality than just being a kid. Yes, maybe I spent too much time seeing if the other gymnasts in the olympics were lookers besides the collegiate gymnasts. Unfortunately, they get almost no fanfare.

I’m sure they can doll her up and she does have the russian ballerina look going on. As for her dabbling into modeling, I’m sure many teenage girls wouldn’t mind that but it’s an insane culture. Insane is not even the right word. It makes the gymnastics culture seem normal.

Whether she has the personality to carry it over will be one thing and the where with all to take it all the way instead of just dabble and go about her life like many gymnasts or athletes do is the final point.
