DrW Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) If I would have headlined this post announcing "Womens' artistic gymnastics - vault", those of you interested in this topic at all would have probably thought that this was about Kerri Strug's heroics at the 1996 Olympics. Well, I would like to introduce you to another artistic gymnast specializing in the vault - Oksana Chusovitina. Her career spans eight Olympic Games. She was born in 1975 and won the team Olympic gold medal in 1992 with the "Unified Team", the former Soviet Union. Unlike most gymnasts, she continued to compete after becoming a mother. At the 2008 Olympics, at the age of 32, she won the silver medal in the vault. While this was an amazing achievement considering her age, it is even more astonishing that she is still competing - now at the age of 47.
