despite numerous “retirements” . Born in Bukhara, Uzbekistan in 1975, Chuso competed and won gold in her first Olympic Games at Barcelona 1992. After competing at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games, Chuso got married in 1997 and two years later, Alisher, her son, was born. Chuso's first “retirement” was due after competing at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, by which time five world championship medals had been won including three golds. But in 2002, Alisher was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) . The family moved to Germany where better treatment was available and Chuso continued to train as a way to take a break from the stresses of her son's health. Chuso competed at Athens 2004, gained German citizenship in 2006 and won silver on vault(跳马)at Beijing 2008 for her adopted nation —Germany, aged 33, just months after Alisher received the all-clear. At London 2012, Chuso came fifth in the vault final. And finally, in 2013, after eight years in Germany, Chuso returned to the place she calls home, Uzbekistan. Chuso switched back to competing for her home nation at Rio 2016 and at Tokyo 2020, where she just qualified for vault, but unfortunately did not make the final. In 2022, Chuso won gold on vault at the Doha World Cup on 5 March, the second of four of the 2022 FIG Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup series. The 48-year-old gymnast's motto is, "I'd rather try today than regret tomorrow". “I'm an ordinary person, "Chuso says. “I have my feelings, hardships and sometimes I'm even in a bad mood.
