Difficulty Plus Execution pointed me to yet another Nastia Liukin article.
Interesting factoid in this one: Chusovitina has competed alongside both Nastia AND her father Valeri. Oksana is a marvel.
Oksana Chusovitina, who will be 33 by the time the Opening Ceremony (of her record-setting fifth Games) rolls around. Nobody’s denying she’s old, but Chusovitina is defying the odds by remaining at the top of her sport against competitors who are often half her age. Oksana’s first Worlds were in 1991 — where she competed on the same Soviet team as Valeri Liukin — Nastia’s father.
She won Vault at the last World Cup meet and was 6th on Vault at the 2007 World Championships.
Was Chusovitina the first to compete double layout, full out on Floor? I read that on the internet … so it must be true. UPDATE: Marcus left a comment (and video link) correcting me: “… actually, Tatiana Tuzhikova (another Soviet) performed it at the 1987 worlds.”
