this isn’t really a case of “it’s never too late”. this is her eighth Olympics. she’s been competing since she was a teenager and has kept up with her body. It’s very unlikely that someone without her level of training would be able to do this at her age if they started now.
not necessarily, in elite show jumping and other equestrian sports, it's more common than you might think because it usually takes so incredibly long to get good enough to compete at the elite level, even though equestrian sports are so incredibly hard on your body and there's a certainty that you'll have (usually quite a few) severe injuries at some point in your career
@@Corn22 although that's very realistic, I think what the comment tried to imply it that is never too late to do something you always wanted to do...the point is to just do it without expecting some sort of greatness...rather that to show yourself you can do it and be happy about it regardless the proficiency you achieve....
I love her humble and creative spirit. She 's great. And it' s so good to see her partnership with Svetlana Boginskaia. They were teammates in Barcelona '92. I think there is a true, deep friendship between them.
I didn’t even realize her coach was Boginskaya! She is one of my all-time favorite gymnasts. The “Byelorussian Swan” was the epitome of grace, skill, and sportsmanship, and loveliness. I always thought she would make a great coach and I’m glad to see she’s still involved in gymnastics.
She really is the gymnast to emulate. She may not have been the very best, but she was always up there with the best of them, and she did it while taking good care of her body, her career, and her family. I hope that some day all gymnasts will be able to enjoy competing for as long as they want.
At the height of her gymnast career, she was actually the world's best at vault. In fact even at 46, she won Gold on the vault at the Doha World Cup. The Double Layout 1/1 is named after her, it is also called The Chusovitina. She was one of the very best who could pull off this extremely difficult skill. And the fact that she was able to stay on top of her game for over 8 Olympics is incredible. Nobody has ever done that but her.
She’s a 2-time individual world champion (floor ‘91, vault ‘03) and 2-time world and Olympic team champion (‘91, ‘92). And she continued to win world medals until ‘13 and make finals as recently as ‘18. So she’s absolutely the gymnast to emulate in that she proves that it’s not an either/or - you can have a prioritize medals AND longevity!
She has had a high degree of consistency throughout her career too and has done a really good job of balancing her training. I agree, more gymnasts should be looking to her as a really excellent example. I think Oksana is onto something in the world of gymnastics (along with Chellsie Memmel who is also defying previously held rules around women's gymnastics and age)
> is 43 (at the time of this Superstars of Gymnastics game) > doesn't like bars > throws a perfectly stuck full twisting double back dismount from bars > is the queen mother of our sport O K S A N A
This woman was not going to compete in the last Olympics because she said she would retire, but now she’s training again to qualify for Paris. She is my role model, and a fucking BEAST 🙌🏽
Oksana and Svetlana were some of the last top gymnasts of the former Soviet Union. One of their head coaches was Alexander Alexandrov, who later emigrated to the USA and trained former Olympian Dominique Moceanu at Karolyi’s for a while. In her book, she describes him as the best coach she ever had. He was tough, but he also knew when it was enough. When Dominique had a bad day or was tired or injured, he would see it and let her take it easy during training. Very professional, with a strict scientific training plan instead of bullying, drill and fear. Alexandrov was later fired by Bela Karolyiy, because the Karolyis believed his training methods were too soft! 🤦🏻♀️ I believe that Oksana got an extremely good foundation during her early years in gymnastics, which helped her body to develop enough strength. She wasn‘t burned out at an early age like many others. And she never lost her love for the sport. That’s how it should be!!
Dominique was a true prodigy, with unbelievable talent and potential. It's nothing short of tragic that the Karolyi's ruined her chances by pushing her too hard and causing her to injure herself constantly. On top of that she had to deal with the stress of abuse at home and having to actually emancipate herself from her parents. Pretty difficult to focus on your goals and training when you've got all of that going on in your life. Poor Domi. All the adults in her life failed her, and she burned out too early because of them
As much as I love love love Chellsie Memmel, Oksana Chusovitina right here is the TRUE PIONEER of Adult Gymnastics!!! She is the epitome of longevity and forever will be an icon in Gymnastics...❤️
Definitely, there should be many more gymnasts still in the sport at age >30 (just for the sake of our sport, they need to stop wearing out our kids at 16yo), but Oksana will always stay leagues above any others.
I don't think anyone is denying Oksana as the queen of adult gymnastics. Chellsie's comeback is super notable because Martha screwed her over in her prime. Also, it's currently harder to make the Olympic Team in the US than any other country in the world!
The two have revolutionized the sport for adults in similar, but different ways. Oksana had one kid, has competed for a much longer lifespan and never quit. Chellsie had two kids and took an 8 year break.
That dismount was spectacular! And Bogi is coaching her! Bogi was a GOAT during her time in gymnastics. She has to be wowed that her former team mate is still competiting at this level.
I saw a documentary about her that she had decided to keep going because her son got sick and they had to be able to afford his treatments but he’s good now and she loves what she does it’s amazing 😻
I've watched this young lady since she came on the scene in around 91 or so and let me tell you, she continues to be just as good as she was in her younger days. One of my favs!!
She ruined many of my night by taking gold medal from my favorites, but I respect her for what she represents for sport, for gymnastics, for being and example when is about never give up. Well done Oksana, well done champ 😘
OMG this just cements Chusovitina as a certified bad ass... I love her sense of humor 😂😂😂.... I find it funny a lot of people didn't know that she was being coached by Svetlana Boginskaia!
Очень круто!!! Оксана ты супер!!! Спасибо, что являешься для нас примером. Глядя на тебе понимаешь, что Гимнастика не в 14-18 лет заканчивается, а в 45 только ещё начинается. Удачи и только Победы!!!
I think it’s so unfortunate that people think you can only be good at this sport if you’re young. Not related but people do incredible stunts in circuses for decades, a lot of those performers retire pretty late in age. There’s no reason gymnastics can’t be the same way.
@@Sunburn2508 It depends how high of a difficulty you want to have! Some gymnasts can connect skills really well and have seemingly short bar routines but with high difficulty (watch Aliya Mustafinas from 2016 London). It's short compared to others. Oksana just doesn't have many skills on bars, that's why hers is short. :)
Oksana we love you and are proud of you. Thank you so much for dedicating your life to sports for your country. We wish you a long life and always be happy.
Oksana she like the longest performing gymnast in the world in her 40s and still competing she must make it in the Guinness book. No major injuries it seems to derail her off. Amazing..
For someone who doesn’t like bars, she is a beautiful bar worker! She looks calm and collected on them and flows smoothly. She also doesn’t even use grips lol
I feel this in my soul lol. It's actually why I wanted to go to UF when I was still looking at college gymnastics as a possibility - they had the number 1 bar team, which means I wouldn't have had to contribute lol
Yes Oksana! Beautiful job! Very determined woman! What a sport she is....I'd be sore for months after a landing like that! Or recovering in the hospital somewhere! 😆😂
We didn't use grips in the 70s. I wish that they were around because I ended up having surgery to remove callouses on both hands when I was in my twenties. My hands were so ugly before the surgery.
Her son had leukemia, she still completes to get money to pay his medical bills even though it's been years since he was cured, but the bills have to get paid somehow. I say good for her. Plus every other team she competes against always wants to take a picture with her.
I’ve enjoyed watching her since the Barcelona games. She competes for the love of the sport. She competed for Germany and Uzbekistan and became the oldest gymnast to medal when she got a silver in vault in Beijing. Was sad she missed the finals in 2021 Tokyo, but the respect she got from the other gymnasts spoke volumes.
Incorrect information, she doesn’t pay bills and has been performing for her own pleasure for a long time. When she was a German citizen and played for that country, her son received free treatment.

"I don't like bars, but I'm just gonna nail this dismount for fun." Oksana Chusovitina, probably. This woman is a LEGEND.
