All tag results for 'gymnast'

Even after Gabby Douglas said she's not changing anything about her 'do, the hair hatin' is still going on, and now she has a legitimate explanation (not like she needed one).

In a recent interview, the Olympian said mad hair-ters don't know what they're talking about:

"You sweat and all the gel and hairspray comes out. Even if we did fix our hair, our coach would be like, 'This is not a beauty pageant! Leave it alone.'"

On top of that, there aren't any bathrooms available at the competition, so primping is out of the question

Gold medal winner Nastia Liukin is now a designer.

The 20 year old gymnast has launched a budget friendly girls line called Supergirl by Nastia at JCPenney.

Nastia said designing isn't anything new for her since she "designed all of my leotards I competed in, so I’ve always had kind of like this passion for fashion growing up".

The medalist turned designer added:

"I wanted to kind of have like a message behind it and that message is…when you wear it to feel empowered and to be able to go after your dreams and believe in yourself and to never give up."

Kind of refreshing to hear someone that wants to empower young girls with what they wear, rather than making them look like mini-hookers.
