We all know by now that gymnasts throw the best first pitches at baseball games. But in case anyone needed further proof, Nastia Liukin was more than happy to help convince naysayers at the San Francisco Giants-Chicago Cubs game on Tuesday night.

The 2008 Olympic gold medalist was given the ceremonial honors at Wrigley Field, and she did not disappoint. After doing a flip in front of the mound, she didn't exactly throw a strike, but the pitch still got in the general vicinity of the catcher. And when you see the artistic flip, you're not even going to care about the actual toss or how close she was to home plate.
