30 years in elite sport: Oksana Chusovitina

By
You've been competing internationally for over 30 years. How has gymnastics changed over that time? Is there anything about your sport that has remained the same for decades? First of all, the age has changed. More mature athletes are competing now, which makes me happy. Secondly, the apparatuses. They've become more comfortable and sophisticated. Gymnastics in general has become more challenging, but in my youth, people performed mostly the same elements as they do now. Back then, this was par for the course, but now it surprises many. It's a bit amusing. Has the nature of the training itself changed? For me personally, absolutely. Now, my life isn't just about my athletic career. I'm involved with the Oksana Chusovitina Academy, which was personally opened by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. It has 155 students, both girls and boys. I used to train three times a day, but now I train once. The entire afternoon is taken up with the academy and organi...

On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...

'The Olympic Champion Exposes the Doppelganger' - full translation of interview with Olga Karasyova (2001) - by Marina Vulis

By
As promised, here is a word for word translation of Olga Karasyova's interview with Vladimir Golubev . March 7 th , 2001 The Olympic Champion Exposes the   Doppelganger Olga Karasyova, one the most beautiful and charming gymnasts of our incomparable Olympic team which triumphantly won the 1968 Mexico Olympics, finally achieved fairness. The Moscow Ismail Court sided with her and ordered a famous newspaper to pay 35,000 Roubles for false information. Olga Dimitrievna [Karasyova] invited me to her cozy two-room apartment above the “Aeroport” metro.   Going through the family gymnastics albums, remembering her younger years,   and quietly spoken,   the still   coquettish   and smiling   “girl of our dream” (1944 German movie name). - What a   voluminous document folder!   Can you imagine how much time and effort had to be spent to get the case to court.    Correspondence, lawyer’s request, decisions, regulations, summons. ...
