Chusovkina
According to foreign media reports on July 18, uzbekistan's Olympic delegation announced that gymnast Oksana Chusovkina, who has participated in the Summer Olympic Games for seven consecutive times, will serve as the flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
According to the "Daily Uzbekistan" website reported on the 17th, at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, each country will have two flag bearers (one male and one female), which is a realistic embodiment of the IOC's policy of promoting gender equality. The flag bearers of the Uzbekistan delegation will be the country's gymnastics legend Chusovykina, as well as boxer Bobo-Usmun Baturov.
Chusovkina, as the only gymnast in the world to participate in the Summer Olympics for seven consecutive times, has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. She will fight for her eighth Olympic Games at the Tokyo Olympics. The media said she would also be the first female flag bearer in the country's summer Olympics delegation.
The 46-year-old Chusovykina first represented the Soviet Union in international competitions in 1987, thus beginning a gymnastics career of more than 30 years, and the peak of the usual female gymnast is difficult to exceed two Olympic cycles, that is, eight years. (Overseas Network Zhang Ni)
