Is Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan the most impressive gymnast of all time?
I think so.
At age 31, she is the only female four-time Olympic gymnast. She’s won medals at major competitions from 1991 through to a Bronze on Vault at Worlds 2006.
She’s competed for the Unified Soviet team, Uzbekistan and Germany.
The 31-year-old Chusovitina has lived and trained in Cologne for the past several years. She applied for citizenship in the spring of 2006 and was approved in time for Worlds.

What a career! So far …
“I am strong and I could possibly compete in London Olympics,” Chusovitina said jokingly. “I think the young gymnasts should be afraid of me. I got a family and has a seven-year-old son and I have everything now.”
