Every time Oksana Chusovitina competes in a gymnastics (体操) event, she catches everyone’s attention. The Hangzhou Asian Games was
no exception.
When the 48 - year - old Uzbek gymnast took part in the Asian Women’s Gymnastics Qualification (资格赛) at Huanglong Sports Centre on Monday, thousands of audiences cheered for “Qiu Ma”, which translates to “Mother Chusovitina”. An army of reporters waited in the mixed zone, hoping for an interview chance. Some audiences were touched by Chusovitina’s story that she tried to save her son and just never gave up.
During the interview, Chusovitina said that it was the love and support of the people that kept her going and gave her the strength to achieve more.
Chusovitina’s Olympic journey began in 1992, representing the Unified Team of the former Soviet Union. She later stood for Uzbekistan, changed to German citizenship in 2006, and got back her Uzbek citizenship in 2013.
When Chusovitina’s son was diagnosed (诊断) with leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she accepted German citizenship to compete at sports events for a higher income and better medical treatment. Her heartfelt words, “I dare not grow old until you are well,” have touched many.
After her son got well, Chusovitina continued her gymnastics journey out of love for the sport. She announced her retirement (退休) after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, but she decided to return shortly after.
“The biggest motivation (动机) is my love. I want to perform. I love gymnastics, and this sport brings me great joy. I’m just doing what I love, so why should I stop?” Chusovitina said.
