At 33, Gymnast Repays Help for Her Ill Son With a Silver
BEIJING — When Oksana Chusovitina won her first Olympic gymnastics medal, a team gold at the 1992 Barcelona Games, most of the competitors in the Beijing Games were toddlers. A few might have still been in diapers.
Chusovitina, who won the silver medal on the vault Sunday, is 33, more than twice the age of some of her competitors at the Beijing Olympics. Just don’t remind her of that.
She was on the Unified Team in 1992, then competed later for Uzbekistan, where she was born. She moved to Germany in 2002.
Chusovitina, who is 5 feet tall and 97 pounds, stood on the podium, silver medal in hand, looking dumbfounded. Only 19-year-old Hong Un Jong of North Korea, the gold medalist, had performed better. Teary-eyed, Chusovitina dedicated her medal to her son, 9-year-old Alisher.
If it were not for him, she wouldn’t have been at these Olympics in the first place.

Chusovitina高5英尺，重97磅，她站在领奖台上，手持银牌，看起来很惊讶。19岁的朝鲜选手 Hong Un Jong表现更出色，获得了金牌。满含热泪的Chusovitina将自己的奖牌献给了9岁的儿子Alisher。
