Gymnastics miracle Chusovitina: |
Special honour for Oksana Chusovitina
_______________________________________
Oksana was the winner in an internet voting organised by the company "Netease Sports Marketing Summit" from China. (NetEase is a large Chinese online agency who has been registering three-digit million-views since many years.)
On the occasion of a one-week-long stay the price for her "lifetime achievement" was handed over to her in a large gala.
"Lifetime achievement" is difficult to say about this dynamic women full of spirits - it seems her "lifetime achievement" certainly is far from being over yet:
Shortly before travelling to Beijing she competed on two apparatus in the German Gymnastics League for her club TV Herkenrath, which at the moment is the top scorer in the regional league of central Germany. And then she went on to China.

More than 4 years ago, in Beijing 2008, Oksana, at the age of 33, won Olympic silber. At that point of time Russia's former star Svetlana Chorkina (left; then 29 years old) already had ended her career more than 4 years ago. |
