Uzbekistan cherishes ageless wonder

Oksana Chusovitina is training for a record-breaking seventh Olympic Games that will see the 41-year-old Uzbek become the oldest female gymnast to ever compete in the global showcase.

Chusovitina's qualification for the Rio Games extended a staggering career that has seen her represent three different countries over a quarter of a century in a sport dominated by teen prodigies.

Chusovitina, whose son is as old as many of her rivals for Rio medals, said she does not deprive herself to maintain her muscular 5-foot, 95-pound frame.
