Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin had fans worried as she showed off her figure and her fall vibes on Instagram earlier this year. Stripping down to a skimpy swimwear look as she enjoyed a bath in one moment, the Russian-born sensation uploaded a video summing up her life activities, also using her post to speak of a “fresh start” as she welcomed September.
Nastia had made 2020 headlines for an anorexia storm as she clapped back at skinny-shamers. Now, the five-time Olympic medalist is back to seeing fans worried about her health. Nastia posted a fun video as she modeled a variety of looks, but she was met with questions as fans expressed concern in the comments.
Welcoming Fall
Footage showed Nastia snapping a quick selfie while in orange gym shorts before slipping her slender frame into swimwear.
Modeling a gingham bikini in pink and white, Nastia flaunted her long, lean legs and tiny waist, also showing off her rock-hard abs. Looking super-cute in her girly two-piece, the Moscow native stepped into a bathtub, where she closed her eyes before the footage moved on.

Also included in the upbeat post was Nastia in tight black booty shorts and a loose sweater as she padded around her Texas home and lit a candle. Here, fans saw the blonde’s stylish interiors and tons of pink rose decor. Nasta used singer Taylor Swift’s “August” track as she told fans: “Happy September! Always been a monday + first day of the month girlie! anyone else? always just feels like a fresh start! The best season is almost here!!”

Comments have been pouring in. “I absolutely love her, but I am so worried about her health,” one fan wrote as over 140 others agreed. “Oof I hope she’s ok,” another said. Also expressing concern was a fan saying: “All sizes are beautiful and so is she but this looks really unhealthy I don’t know her but speaking from experience this looks like a woman who needs help.”
Anorexia Clap-Back
Nastia did, however, receive love as one fan said they loved her fashion sense.
The APL collaborator hasn’t responded to the backlash, but she did in 2020 as a fan said she looked “borderline” anorexic.
Says It’s ‘Being Offensive’
Speaking of the Instagram DM she received, Nastia said: “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.”
Nastia maintains that she eats a healthy, balanced diet and has even updated her social media to show her enjoying a slice of pizza.
