Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin has consistently revealed her endearment for performing at LA 2028, gaining precedence over the Paris Olympics 2024. Los Angeles will be hosting the iconic global event for the third time this 2028, becoming the third city to host the games three times. And Liukin was at the pinnacle of happiness over this announcement.

Liukin had come together with fellow US Olympians at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to witness the voting ceremony that awarded LA with the hosting rights back in 2017. Since then, she has been building momentum towards it. Serving as LA 2028 Athlete Commission, she has revamped her home décor and displays her excitement towards the forthcoming Olympics. She brought along a seamless amalgam of the Olympic spirit infused with architectural brilliance.

Welcoming to her crib, she guides the camera, giving a look at her living room. Stylizing it in white, with an opulent royal sofa and dining table, the drawing room is no less than a fairy tale haven, where she loves to host theme parties. Next, she gives a close look at the wine cellar.

She has an exquisite china glasses set, adorning insignias of LA 2028. It has LA 28 imprinted on it, in shades of black and blue. In the video, she depicts her excitement pointing to it, “The Olympics in LA coming up, LA 2028. Super excited about that. That bottle of Dom is from 2008, the red one in the Olympics,” she adds.

Towards the ending montage, she points to a picture of herself in mid-air, wherein she jumped backward in downtown LA in the middle of the night. It is a breathtaking frame. Liukin captioned the post as, “Part one: welcome to Harley’s house — where not all of us can be slash are dog moms🙃🤣 @bens_there,” tagging her boyfriend on her post. Her stake in LA 28 is evident.
