Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin wear 2008 leotards to watch Beijing Olympic replay

Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson dressed up to rewatch Beijing Olympic gymnastics finals together for the first time — in their 2008 all-around final leotards.

“I literally had to break it out of a frame,” Johnson said in an Instagram live, where she and Liukin watched NBCSN’s Olympic Games Week broadcast from separate homes on Tuesday night. “When you’re breastfeeding, putting on a leotard is brutal.”

Johnson and husband former NFL long snapper Andrew East have a 5-month-old daughter, Drew.

East joked he had to persuade Johnson to wear her red leotard from 12 years ago.
