Why is Chusovitina a a unique myth in the Olympic Games?

Becoming famous at a young age

Chusovitina is an ordinary girl born in the former Soviet Union. In 1992, she participated in the Olympic Games on behalf of the Commonwealth of Independent States. At the age of 17, she won the Olympic gold medal.

in the following period, she continued to participate in the war on behalf of Uzbekistan, winning several medals for her motherland, which was regarded as the pride of Uzbekistan!

In p>21, at the age of 26, Chusovitina decided to retire. By this time, she had passed the peak period of a gymnast, leaving behind her a series of heights and honors that Uzbekistan could not reach. Then get married and have children, and everything goes well.

Bad news came

In p>23, Chusovitina's baby son was diagnosed with a rare disease. You have to spend money to see a doctor. In order to treat your son, Chusovitina and her husband bought everything they could sell, but due to the high medical expenses in Uzbekistan, Chusovitina had to return to the stadium after two years!

Come back for training, just to save her son

As a world champion of vault, Chusovitina came back this time, and also practiced uneven bars, floor exercise balance beam and women's all-around. At the age of nearly 3, she changed from a single athlete to an all-around athlete. She worked so hard just to participate in more events and earn more money.

So every year after that, in almost all gymnastics competitions, we can always see a figure with Cang Sang written all over her face, which is Chusovitina. Everyone knows that he took part in the competition only for money, but no one despised him because of it. Everyone showed respect for him, because at this moment, Chusovitina is not only a simple athlete, but also a mother.

She was forced to change her nationality

But the change of things caught people off guard. Chusovitina's child got worse, and only chemotherapy was available. However, due to the backward medical conditions in Uzbekistan, it is simply unable to provide such treatment. At this time, the Germans threw an olive branch. As long as Chusovitina went to Germany to represent Germany, their children would receive free treatment.

On the one hand, it is her child's life, and on the other hand, she betrays her motherland. Chusovitina is in a dilemma. At this time, Uzbekistan's practice is very extreme. They don't allow Chusovitina to change her family. Some people even say that he has long wanted to emigrate, and the child's illness is just his excuse.

Chusovitina, who played for Germany

enjoyed sports

After many years, Chusovitina still felt very wronged when she recalled this painful course. The 31-year-old Chusovitina was charged with treason and put on a German shirt. In the 28 Beijing Olympic Games, it won the vault medal for the German team! In the same year, his child finally recovered. Everyone thought this story was over, but at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea in 214, we once again saw Chusovitina, who played for Uzbekistan. In 216, he participated in the Olympic Games for the seventh time. This is a great athlete, with 28 years of gymnastics career, but also a great mother, which is a myth in the whole Olympic history.
