Question

Anybody else think Nastia Luikin's father is, ah, strange?

Answer 1

No. He is a proud coach and papa, deservedly so.

Answer 2

Ah he's a nice guy. He is Russian so that level of affection like kissing on the cheek is strange to Americans but that's Russian culture. He sure is a good coach and looks out for the best interests of Nastia than Marta or Bela Karolyi ever would. He is also the coach of gold medalist Carly Patterson too.  

Answer 3

You mean the fact that he seems to want this gold medal more than Nastia herself??  I think he puts LOADS of pressure on her.  He probably sees his daughter as an extension of himself.  (but maybe the pressure is good for her, who knows)

Answer 4

no why?

Answer 5

I think he's cute. you know, for a man. I don't think he pressures Nastia too much. Healthy competition is good and they said last night that it was her idea to get started in gymnastics. It wasn't like her Gold Medal parents pushed her to do it! He's just an enthusiastic coach and father!

Answer 6

He is russian, it is a different culture.

Answer 7

wordddd , i was thinking the same thinking ... before i found out he was her father ... i thot he was just some pedofile ... he kept kissing her

but its probably just a loving dad , and ya he is eastern european , my parents are like that too

Answer 8

Why would you say that?  He is a talented coach, he and his wife run a top gymnastic school in Texas.
