Liukin To Join NBC Olympics For 2014 Olympic Games In Sochi

STAMFORD, Conn. – Former U.S. gymnast Nastia Liukin, a winner of five Olympic medals including gold in the all-around at the 2008 Beijing Games, will join NBC Olympics for its Winter Games coverage in Sochi, Russia, it was announced today.

Liukin, a dual Russian-U.S. citizen who was born in Moscow, will serve as a reporter for NBC Olympics’ multi-platform coverage and will present daily features for The Olympic Zone, NBC Olympics’ 30-minute daily show for NBC affiliates covering all aspects of the Games.

Liukin joined NBCUniversal in 2012 as a contributor for NBCOlympics.com during the London Olympics, and has since served as an analyst for NBC Sports Group’s gymnastics coverage.

“Nastia is a decorated Olympic champion who brings a unique perspective to the Sochi Games, both as an athlete and a member of a family with a tremendous sports legacy,” said Jim Bell, Executive Producer of NBC Olympics.

Liukin won the most medals of any gymnast at the 2008 Beijing Games (five) and tied the U.S. gymnastics record set by Mary Lou Retton and equaled by Shannon Miller for the most medals at a single Olympics (one gold, three silver, one bronze). In 2008, she became the third American woman to win the Olympic all-around competition (Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson).
