Veteran Oksana still blowing kisses

Uzbekistan's 43-year-old gymnast Oksana Chusovitina blew kisses to the crowd as she began her Asian Games campaign on Tuesday - and angrily dismissed suggestions this could be her last tournament.

The oldest female gymnast in the competition by far, Chusovitina was greeted by whoops and shrieks from a near-capacity crowd on the first day of the women's competition.

But the atmosphere took a minor tumble as the gymnasts filed past journalists at the end of the session - and Chusovitina was asked whether this would be her last hurrah.
