Chusovitina for Uzbekistan

This week the Uzbekistan Federation released Oksana Chusovitina to compete for the Germans for humanitarian reasons.
However, since Oksana has not lived in Germany for 3 years, she does not yet have permission of the German government to compete for the German team.
Just now Oksana Chusovitina is in a special tarining camp together with the German team on the campus of the University of Utah...

At this point, she still plans to compete for Uzbekistan in Anaheim.
The Cabinet of Ministers met in a special session and decided that the most important thing was to insure that Alisher receive the best possible medical care.

Oksana Chusovitina has been an outstanding athlete for Uzbekistan for many years and everyone involved wants what is best for her and her family.
