Nastia Liukin can now add author to her impressive resume.
The 26-year-old DWTS alum and Olympic medalist just debuted her memoir, “Finding My Shine”.
“Writing a book has always been a dream of mine. For a while I didn’t know who I was without gymnastics in my life anymore and had lost my confidence and self esteem,” Nastia dished to JJJ about her book.
She added, “I moved to NYC, started school at NYU and slowly began to find my shine again. I thought this was the perfect time to write my memoir as I finished one chapter of my life and am about to start the next.”
In “Finding My Shine”, Nastia shares not only her journey of success, but also her biggest challenges, with the hope of empowering girls and young women to realize that although we all have “faceplant” moments – its how we handle them.

Nastia Liukin steps out for the Mackage X Bradley Theodore’s “The Underground Artist” Curated Art Exhibition held at Mackage Soho on Wednesday night (August 19) in New York City.
The 25-year-old athlete recently opened up about the hardships that come with trying out for an Olympic team the second time around.
“It’s harder than it was that first kind of half of your career and your life,” she shared. “And so that’s why it’s even more important to set those goals for yourself of why am I doing this?”
Nastia added, “I knew I’d be in London (watching), but I didn’t want to be there looking at five of my teammates thinking what if I would have tried?”
“What a treat to be down on the track! Even got to see this pit stop! Look how quickly they got #14 fixed up! Whoa! #Indy500,” Jordin posted on Instagram after performing the National Anthem.
