I remember reading an article (that I just can't seem to find right now) that Nastia Liukin was teased in elementary school because of her name. "Nasty" was what all the little brats called her.

Shawn Johnson is a great athlete, no doubt about it, but IMHO she lacks the grace that Nastia had. One announcer mentioned that she has her dad's athleticism and her mom's grace and beauty, and she was really a delight to watch.

And her poor mother -- she couldn't even WATCH! No helicoptering there!
