HANGZHOU, China (AP): Oksana Chusovitina competed in her first Olympics at the 1992 Barcelona Games and won a gold medal in gymnastics. Her first title in a big meet came in 1988 at the junior nationals in the Soviet Union.

Chusovitina is 48 now and still competing for Uzbekistan - and she's not done yet despite the fact her competition is generations younger. Few were even born when she won Olympic gold.
