When have you seen a woman gymnast in more than 1 olympics? When have you seen a 24 year old female gymnast, much less a 40 year old one?
Well, she's not 40, but 33-year-old Oksana Chusovitina won the silver medal in vault. Her success will likely go a long way towards inspiring older gymnasts to continue competing past 20.
And Dominique Dawes competed in the 2000 Olympics at 24.
