Nastia frustrated with media

It’s been wonderful to see how both Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson translated their success as athletes into “brands”. Very few gymnasts have been able to do this in the past.

But the buzz on the blogosphere regarding her relationship with Olympic Figure Skating Champion Evan Lysacek led to this tweet …

Seems she later removed it. Sober second thought.

I’m sympathetic for Nastia. Relationships are difficult enough without a spotlight on your every move.

But you can’t have it both ways. No doubt her agent thinks this is great publicity.
