On March 5, Beijing time, the Gymnastics World Cup Doha Station, the legendary veteran Chusovykina, who represented the motherland Uzbekistan, won the championship and wrote another good story of "veterans do not die".
Chusovkina, who regrettably stopped vaulting qualifications at the Tokyo Olympics, briefly announced her decision to retire, but she resumed training just two months later. Asked why she chose to make a comeback again, Chusovkina said: "I haven't yet won a medal for my native Uzbekistan, and I can't end my gymnastics career in such a hurry." Therefore, I decided to continue to prepare for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. "Wanting to win a medal for the country is the only reason why Chusovkina has made a comeback two months after retiring. More than half a year after resuming training, Chusovkina showed her great strength to the world, winning the vault gold medal with an average score of 13.433 points in the two jumps at the World Cup Doha station, so that the national anthem of the motherland Uzbekistan was played in a foreign country.
After winning the World Cup, the 46-year-old Chusovkina looked particularly calm. Yes, for the legendary veteran who won the gold medal as early as the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, this is just a very ordinary World Cup championship. The tears after the Tokyo Olympics regrettably stopped qualifying, and the desire to win a medal for the motherland, all showed Chusovkina's love for Uzbekistan and her love for gymnastics athletes. To this day, the story of "Mother Qiu" still touches countless audiences. In order to earn medical expenses for her son with leukemia, she transferred to Germany alone and ran all over the big and small competitions just to get a small prize money. By the time her son recovered, Chusovkina was already the oldest in gymnastics, even nearly 20 years older than some of the younger players. Letting go of the biggest burden in her heart, Chusovkina resolutely returned to the motherland, fought for the honor of the motherland, and continued her great life.
