Somewhat hurt since Worlds 2006, I’m hopeful the ever photogenic Nastia will be back on schedule.
She’s very tough to beat on Bars and Beam.
LIUKIN’S COMEBACK PLAN
Pan American Games (July 13-29, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil): Liukin plans to ease back into competition, competing only on uneven bars and beam. Liukin competed in the Pan Am Games in 2003 and will provide leadership to a young team.
Visa Championships (Aug. 15-18, San Jose, Calif.): Liukin looks to return to all-around competition in time to defend her two-time senior national title and qualify for Worlds. She won the junior national title in 2003 and 2004.
World Championships (Sept. 1-9, Stuttgart, Germany): Liukin won world titles on beam and uneven bars and was the all-around world runner-up in 2005. In 2006, she won silver on the uneven bars, the only event she could compete in because she needed ankle surgery.
