4	4	HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
5	5	WHEREAS, A superb American athlete brought great honor to her
6	6	country and to Collin County when Nastia Liukin of Parker won five
7	7	medals in the gymnastics competition at the 2008 Olympic Games in
8	8	Beijing; and
9	9	WHEREAS, In a masterful demonstration of her grace and
10	10	athletic ability, Ms. Liukin claimed the gold medal in the Women's
11	11	Individual All-Around Final and added two silver medals and one
12	12	bronze medal in individual events as well as a silver medal in the
13	13	team competition; her success tied the previous record for the most
14	14	medals won by a U.S. gymnast in one Olympics; and
15	15	WHEREAS, Anastasia Liukin was born on October 30, 1989, in
16	16	Moscow, Russia; her mother, Anna, was a world champion in rhythmic
17	17	gymnastics while her father, Valeri, won two gold medals and two
18	18	silver medals at the 1988 Olympic Games as a member of the Soviet
19	19	gymnastics team; when Nastia was two years old, the family moved to
20	20	the United States, where her parents began working as gymnastics
21	21	coaches; and
22	22	WHEREAS, While still very young, she began accompanying her
23	23	mother and father to the gym, where she amused herself by imitating
24	24	the routines of the older children training there; realizing that
25	25	Nastia's talent and desire could not be ignored, her parents began
26	26	teaching her the fundamentals of the sport; throughout her career,
27	27	she has been coached by her father, a founder of the World Olympic
28	28	Gymnastics Academy, which has three locations in the Dallas-Fort
29	29	Worth area, including the Plano gym where Nastia continues to
30	30	train; and
31	31	WHEREAS, Ms. Liukin began competing at age six, and in 2005,
32	32	she advanced to the senior international elite level; that same
33	33	year she won the national all-around title and was world champion in
34	34	two events; her progress was slowed the following year when she
35	35	suffered a serious ankle injury, but she battled back in 2007 and
36	36	claimed the world title on the balance beam; in June 2008 at the
37	37	Visa Championships, she won two events and finished second in the
38	38	all-around competition to set the stage for her Olympic appearance
39	39	in Beijing; and
40	40	WHEREAS, After joining with her fellow U.S. gymnasts to place
41	41	second in the team competition on August 13, Ms. Liukin achieved her
42	42	greatest triumph two days later, when she was crowned the
43	43	all-around Olympic champion; this victory was made even sweeter by
44	44	the fact that her father had narrowly missed winning the all-around
45	45	title 20 years earlier in the 1988 Olympics; in the days that
46	46	followed, she also earned a bronze medal in floor exercise and
47	47	silver medals in the balance beam and uneven bars events; and
48	48	WHEREAS, Her triumph inspired an outpouring of enthusiasm in
49	49	Collin County; on August 30, 2008, the city of Parker hosted a
50	50	parade that included Nastia and her family and featured the Plano
51	51	East Senior High School Marching Band, and a reception followed at
52	52	Southfork Ranch; there, area residents got an additional chance to
53	53	show their pride in the gymnast's accomplishments, and among those
54	54	in attendance were elected officials representing Collin County at
55	55	the local, state, and federal level; moreover, the Parker City
56	56	Council declared July 2008 as a special month to honor this
57	57	outstanding athlete; and
58	58	WHEREAS, The title of Olympic champion is an elite honor that
59	59	many strive to attain but few achieve; Nastia Liukin's
60	60	unforgettable accomplishments in Beijing have placed her at the
61	61	pinnacle of her sport and earned the proud admiration of her fellow
62	62	citizens in the State of Texas and throughout the nation; now,
63	63	therefore, be it
64	64	RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
65	65	hereby congratulate Nastia Liukin on winning five medals in the
66	66	gymnastics competition at the 2008 Olympic Games and that she be
67	67	extended sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
68	68	further
69	69	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
70	70	prepared for Ms. Liukin as an expression of high regard by the Texas
71	71	House of Representatives and Senate.
