Age Has Never Been Problem in Continuing Career: Legendary Gymnast

[@zami2525]

Her: competing for the 19th time on the Asian games at 48 years old Also her: Im not very good at it, but i love it. She is way too humble 😂

[@Ajay.Plants]

The way she has 2 of the most competitive vaults, the most common bars dismount, and an H skill named after her “oh I’m not very skilled”😂😂😂

My hero and inspiration for getting back in shape in my late 40’s. Thank you Oksana. ❤

[@DianaDeLuna]

While Simone is the GOAT, Oksana is the LOAT: Longest Of All Time. With Olympic medals earned decades apart to back her rizz up. 🥇 👑 🥈

[@grahamstrouse1165]

This woman is an inspiration.

[@kristannestone1748]

Another Olympics PLEASE, Oksana!!

[@nipaipo36100]

she will never retire lol. she s a warrior

[@JoMomma]

She is such an inspiration! She's the only person I've ever heard mention that being warm is ideal for physical exertion. I get so much more accomplished when it's hot and humid and ppl think I'm weird..... but as soon as the temp drops below 75 F my bones and joints hurt and I have a hard time getting moving.

[@Runner8617]

I think she meant that it warms up the muscles faster. Most people are more energetic and have more mental alertness in cooler temps. I watched a documentary on KZbin many years ago where sports doctors tested very extreme athletes and a NASA guy on the impact of temperature on body while doing extreme sports and they discovered the human body performs best at around 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@Runner8617]

If you like warm weather, you were probably born in a warm season/month. I noticed this is true with a lot of people.

[@JoMomma]

@@Runner8617 That makes sense. I was born on Labor Day in September in Wisconsin. It can be scorching or moderately cool on that day. I've always struggled with the cold.

[@JoMomma]

@@Runner8617 My body doesn't perform well when it's colder than 75F. I design, draft, and sew full range motion quilted clothes to trap my body heat. I've been experimenting with various combinations of quilted layers.... wool, nylon, poly fiber fill, fleece, tricot, moisture wicking. I've perfected the cut of my jumpsuits, ninja pants, and jackets but I haven't tried to manufacture or market them because they are so tedious to make.

[@margaritadanova4764]

@@Runner8617 Idk, I was born on July 4 (yes, I'm one of those lol), and what I dislike is extreme heat (around 95F for me or hotter) and extreme frost, which is -4F.

[@Trolland3billygoats]

Amazing gymnast. Amazing attitude to work and life.

[@principessadellefiabe]

Go Oksana!!!! You're great ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤(And so highly gifted too❤)

[@DiuQuy]

How her body is able to continue to do this blows my mind. In their 20s, gymnasts talk about incredible body aches and pains already. Such an inspiration!

[@greencollar4539]

LEGEND! I'm happy it still brings her joy, because watching her brings ME joy.

[@Svetlana_Andreeva96]

“Why should I give up what brings me joy?” I love this ❤

[@Вова_Анна]

Мудрая женщина! Абсолютно с ней согласна! Я сама в прошлом спортивная гимнастика, в спорт пришла поздно, но и держалась долго и именно потому, что гимнастика приносила мне удовольствие, за победами не гналась, но удовольствие от тренировок всегда было и тоже хотелось сделать больше, чем давалось по программе тренировки. Руки на брусьях в кровь сдирала, но не сдавалась пока не получался элемент, даже боли не чувствовала. Отлично понимаю Оксану. Успехов ей и так держать!!!❤

[@courtneypuzzo2502]

Oksana has competed for 3 countries in her Olympic Career unified 1992 Barcelona 1996 2000 and 2004 Uzbekistan 2008-2012 Germany and 2016 2020 and 2024 Uzbekistan she will be 49 at the Paris Olympics when most competitive gymnasts on the women's side are retired between their late teens and mid 20s due to injuries etc. as for having Skills named after her she's tied with Simone Biles for 2nd with 5 skills named after her Though Simone might get a 6th skill named after her this year if she completes it in competition at either the US Gymnastics Championships or the Olympics

[@nodir-bc8uh]

Real Wonder Woman!)

[@НатальяСаевич-ь3т]

Оксана молодец Но выглядит как мужчина И возможно у нее заклинило и она не может не прыгать Человек должен переключаться и идти вперед. Но ради нее хочется смотреть соревнования, и следить за ее выступлениями. Здоровья всем.

[@nanyanguo1]

oldest competitive athlete? she has the oomph

[@DollyMcEntire]

Did she really say she's not that good or was that a translation error? 😮

[@DollyMcEntire]

"Highly gifted." Did she actually say she is not highly gifted?

[@deirdrekiely6187]

​@DollyMcEntire Yes, said that. She never had the highest technical skill level. Even if her (amazing) body holds up she may be edged out from competing by gymnasts with better skills.
