At age 48, gymnast Oksana Chusovitina's bid to qualify for her record ninth Olympics came to an end due to an injury during podium training at the Asian Gymnastics Championships in Uzbekistan. Chusovitina, known for competing in eight previous Olympics and holding records as the oldest gymnast and most Olympic appearances, announced the news on Instagram, expressing disappointment but gratitude for her fans. Although she did not mention retirement, this injury marks a potential conclusion to her Olympic career, which began in 1990 competing for the Soviet Union and included winning a team gold in 1992 and an individual bronze in 2008.
