An Olympic all-around champion and one of the most decorated American gymnasts in the history of the sport, Nastia Liukin believes that with hard work and commitment to a dream, anything is possible. Liukin embraces being a mentor and a positive role model to girls.

“I feel so privileged to be recognized by the Girl Scouts. The investiture ceremony is a time-honored tradition, which welcomes new girls into Scouting and I am thrilled that I can consider myself part of this wonderful group,” said Liukin.

“We are so pleased that Nastia joined the Girl Scouts. For the past 98 years, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience continues to empower girls to become leaders,” said Lalitha Sarma, Girl Scout Council of Greater New York.

As part of her ongoing commitment to female empowerment, Liukin recently teamed up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and JCPenney for Supergirl by Nastia, a collection featuring trend-right, affordable apparel that encourages a message of empowerment, creativity, strength, intelligence and independence—the symbolic attributes and S-Shield of Supergirl, the iconic DC Comics super heroine. Created for today’s 4-12-year-old girls, the collection will be available exclusively at JCPenney – in stores and on jcp.com – beginning July 20, just in time for the back-to-school season.

“The Girl Scouts and I share the same message of female empowerment, which I look forward to spreading to girls and young women everywhere with Supergirl by Nastia,” added Liukin.

As part of the investiture ceremony, the Girl Scouts attending the special event received a Supergirl patch to be added to their regalia.

Coco Ho Wins 2010 Supergirl Pro Junior

roxana.altamirano — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:51:49 +0000

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (August 14, 2010) – In true Supergirl style, Coco Ho (Oahu, HI) surfed over the competition in Oceanside, California today to win the 3rd Annual Supergirl Pro Junior. Sixteen of the world’s best 20-and-under female surfers took to the waves to battle for the richest purse in ASP Women’s Pro Junior history, with Ho claiming the $10,000 top prize and her second Supergirl Pro Junior title. Malia Manuel (Kauai, HI), Lakey Peterson (Santa Barbara, CA) and Leila Hurst (Kauai, HI) captured second, third and fourth place, respectively.

Official Results—2010 Supergirl Pro Junior
1) Coco Ho 16.26 points
2) Malia Manuel 15.17 points
3) Lakey Peterson 10.67 points
4) Leila Hurst 10.27points

Draped in the winner’s Supergirl cape, Ho said, “I’m so stoked. Now I have one cape for each arm. The Supergirl [Pro Junior] is the most fun event ever!”

An ASP Grade-4 surfing contest, the Supergirl Pro Junior is the second event in this year’s Supergirl Jam, the action sports industry’s only large-scale, all-female competition and lifestyle event designed to promote female empowerment, strength and independence. The first event, the Supergirl Am Jam, which honored female amateur skateboarders, occurred on June 30 at Skatelab, in Simi Valley, California.

Ho was the first Supergirl Pro Junior champion, winning the title in 2008 in Huntington Beach, California. She entered today’s competition hoping for a second win, but after fighting a cold all week and sizing up her competition, she knew it was going to be a hard fought battle.

“Malia [Manuel] started out the finals so strong, I thought she had it in the bag,” said Ho. “I’m so glad I got a few good waves.”

Manuel hit the water and didn’t waste any time catching some early waves, recording an 8.00 and 7.17 early on to claim the top spot. Her lead held until nearly the mid-point of the 30-minute heat, then Ho hit back-to-back waves of 7.53 and 8.73 – the highest score of the heat – to take the lead. Ho would stay at the top until the end, despite a late charge from Manuel. Needing an 8.27 to take reclaim first place, Manuel grabbed a late wave and rode it to the shore, but was only able to score a solid 6.67. For the second year in a row, she claimed the second place silver medal.

“The girls were really rippin’ today,” said Manuel. “Thanks to Supergirl for this opportunity. If you invite me back next year, I’m here!”

A first year addition to the competition was the Supergirl Shootout, two 10-minute heats designed for the remaining field to compete in an ‘expression session’ for a total of $1000. Carissa Moore (Honolulu, HI), the recent 2010 U.S. Open Women’s Champion, and Amy Nicholl (Drexel Hill, PA) each won $500, recording the highest scoring wave in the special events.

The next stop for the Supergirl Jam event series will be Venice Beach, California, on August 22. This event will feature the Snowboard Rail Jam, Skateboard Street and Inline Best Trick competitions starting at 12:30 p.m. All the action will be webcast on a host of major web sites including FoxSports.com, GrindTV.com, Supergirl.com and Supergirljam.com, the official online destination for the 2010 Supergirl Jam.

The entire Supergirl Jam event series will be broadcast nationally in November as part of event producer ASA Entertainment’s action sports block on Fox Sports Net and FUEL TV.

Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP), on behalf of DC Comics, JCPenney and five-time Olympic Medalist and World Champion Nastia Liukin, joined forces in New York City on July 24th to debut an all new collection of clothing for girls called Supergirl by Nastia. The event is part of a five-market tour, visiting JCPenney stores around the country.

As part of the tour, Nastia is providing young girls motivational advice on achieving their goals, feeling confident and being smart, strong and empowered—being a Supergirl. Liukin also introduced the new fun, affordable lifestyle collection, which is available exclusively at JCPenney stores nationwide.

Liukin was on hand to host the action-packed, kick-off event at New York’s Greeley Square Park in front of JCPenney, which featured live gymnastic exhibitions, dance performances, fashion presentations and even onsite stretching and tumbling classes for young girls. Nastia also hosted a meet and greet for attendees and prizes were awarded to lucky winners throughout the event.

“The New York kick-off event was such an incredible way to introduce Supergirl by Nastia to young girls and help communicate a message of empowerment,” said Liukin. “It was so much fun to interact with all of the girls and I am thrilled to be able to continue hosting the remaining events all across the country!”

Following Saturday’s debut in New York City, the tour is set to make additional stops in Dallas, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; and Orlando, Florida. Joining in all markets will be kids from JCPenney’s Afterschool Fund and other local community groups who will enjoy an empowering message from Nastia, as well as the opportunity for prizes, including a shopping spree for back-to-school clothes, courtesy of JCPenney.

The Supergirl by Nastia collection features trend-right, affordable apparel that encourages a message of empowerment, creativity, strength, intelligence and independence—the symbolic attributes and S-Shield of Supergirl, the iconic DC Comics super heroine. The collection, created for today’s 4-12-year-old girls, is now available exclusively at JCPenney , just in time for the back-to-school season.

The line retails from $20 – $38, making it affordable and exciting for girls to style themselves like a Supergirl. The collection includes active fleece, dresses and tunics, knit pants, signature Supergirl tees, dancewear, fashion leggings, shrug tops and more.

Nastia will conduct personal appearances to promote Supergirl by Nastia at the following JCPenney locations:
• July 31: Frisco, TX – Stonebriar Mall
• August 7: Schaumburg, IL – Woodfield Mall

For the past four years, Warner Bros. has been supporting female athletes with the Supergirl Jam, the only large-scale, all-girls action sports competition and lifestyle/music festival. The Supergirl S-Shield is the universally recognized symbol of strength and leadership under which today’s sports girls unite. These “actionistas” embody the intelligence, independence, strength and creativity of the Supergirl brand.
