I am pretty sure that if you asked Nastia herself, she would tell you that her father was extremely instrumental in her success in Beijing. Getting an athlete to peak the way she did is as much the work of the coach (the strategist) as it is the athlete putting in routine after routine. They did it together. Nastia performed the routines, no question but they got her to Beijing in the best shape of her career together.

Love the end of this clip. That was a great reaction from Nastia lol.

i just dont like when he always say "we"... i mean i know without him she wouldnt be the same gymnast and all that but it is NASTIA who put out the effort and had the drive and performed those routines... not valeri... i wish sometimes he would just say "SHE did it" instead of "WE did it"
