The field for the 2021 Nastia Liukin Cup is beginning to take shape following the first qualifier in the 12-event series. Two junior and two senior gymnasts who competed at the Atlanta Crown Invitational in Duluth, Ga., last weekend earned berths for the February 26 final in Indianapolis.

Six of the top 10 women's teams in the country got their 2021 seasons started with a win, including #3 LSU over #15 Arkansas thanks in part to the first perfect 10 of the year from Kiya Johnson.

The 2021 Nastia Liukin Cup Series kicks off this weekend with the Atlanta Crown Invitational in Duluth, Ga. The series will determine the 18 junior and 18 senior USA Gymnastics Women’s Development Program Level 10 athletes that will compete at the 2021 Nastia Liukin Cup February 26 in Indianapolis.
