I have to jump in this thread just to say how awesome she is and that I wish there were more people doing gymnastics to this age.

I successfully did a cartwheel in the park the other day without injuring myself, greatly impressing my offspring and frightening my husband. That’s almost the same thing.

I did my first adult gymnastics class for 17 years last week. First time ever on bars and I managed a jump to front support on the LB (0.2 CV for the bruised belly) and proved my complete inability to hang or support my weight. Lots of fun but I’m still sore six days later

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Well done! Totes worth it.

 

[QuietColours]

I’m proud of myself for being able to do a cartwheel and a handstand at seven months pregnant (and I’m older than Chuso was in Beijing!). And for being able to get off the floor without using my hands. Getting off a cushioned surface, well, that’s more complicated.

Fucking hell that is actually nails.

I did a somersault recently trying to show my kid how and was dizzy for like 10 minutes afterwards…

I know women my age who can’t even get up from the floor on their own. I am older than Chuso though.

Valentina talking shit about Chuso.
Questioning her health doing gymnastics at this age and also questioning her results as acceptable.
Forgetting that Chuso spanked both Listunova and Semukhina in Doha and took the gold over both of them.

Chusovitina hopes to compete a new vault at the 2024 Olympics

Oksana Chusovitina who “retired” after the Tokyo Olympics was supposed to come back just for the 2022 Asian Games (she also picked up some World Cup medals on the way). However, the 202…

I’m sure everyone really values Valentina’s life advice.

 

[dweiss324]

She keeps using that word “exploit”… I do not think she knows what it means

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Chusovitina should reply ‘says a bitch whose husband doesn’t have a yacht any more’.

eta- actually, am I mixing my oligarchs/Putin fetishists up? It’s so hard to keep track.

 

[KristyJ]

I appreciate Chuso’s line about how she often feels she is healthier than the younger athletes- I am not sure if she meant that as direct shade to Valentina, but it well could have been.

Meanwhile, the promotional material suggest that Chuso will appear in Nemov’s “Russian Pride” gymnastics show

Sigh

Boooo.

Chuso said she wants a new vault for 2024. What could that be?
