Day 7 - The Inner Game of Winning Gymnastics Gold | The Game Inside The Games

Day 7 - The Inner Game of Winning Gymnastics Gold | The Game Inside The Games

It’s time to meet the moment.

In Part 2 of this riveting conversation on The Game Inside The Games, Nastia Liukin and Dr. Michael Gervais continue their deep dive into the psychological intricacies of women's gymnastics.

Building on their previous discussion about the preparation and lead up to the Women’s All Around Final, this episode focuses on the different components of this iconic event and the mental challenges unique to each apparatus.

Nastia reveals the intense psychological and physical preparations required for the uneven bars, including the hidden complexities like dealing with different grip substances used by international competitors. She shares her personal pre-performance routines, the internal dialogue that guides her through her performance, and what it’s like to look up at the scoreboard after competing in the event she had dreamed about for so long.

The conversation also highlights the upcoming historic competition between Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee – the first two gold medalists to compete against each other in an All Around Final.

Nastia and Dr. Mike explore the razor-thin margins in gymnastics scoring and the mental fortitude required to perform under such precise conditions.

Whether you're a gymnastics enthusiast or simply fascinated by the psychology of elite performance, this conversation provides an unprecedented look into what it takes to compete at the highest level of sport.
