2008 European Championships[edit]

Resolved

– Done BpEps - t@lk 16:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 5 April, Oksana won gold on the vault at the 2008 Europeans in Clermont-Ferrand. The Enter button on my laptop is knackered so I dare not edit the article as the spacings would be difficult-to-impossible to achieve without it. Hope someone can add the info asap.

appearance[edit]

she is very mannish looking. Is that just her style or is she gay? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.41.163 (talk) 04:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-are you interested in her sexually? She is married, BTW, so good luck with that. 24.215.160.133 (talk) 06:25, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and assume good faith with this question, although it does sound rather malicious. First, elite international gymnasts must condition themselves through a rather strenuous and intense training regimen. Years of this can cause female athlete triad syndrome, and while Olympians such as Ms. Chusovitina are monitored closely for proper nutrition, such gymnasts tend to be very thin and lean (without fat). Fat can compromise a large percentage of an average female breast, and as such many elite gymnasts have small or flat chests. To succeed in such a sport, athletes must already be short--Nastia Liukin, arguably the most legendary female artistic gymnasts of the past decade, is only 5'2" but is considered very tall in the gymnastics world, a whole 6 inches taller than the more common height of Shawn Johnson at 4'9". Ms. Chusovitina is especially well known for her vault, an apparatus which requires one to move exceptionally fast through the air in a very short period of time. This means pro-vaulters will want to keep their hair out of their eyes at all times. While many gymnasts opt to simply tie their hair back (more common these days), many simply keep their hair short (Mary Lou Retton is an example of this). I hope this explanation answers your question, and do try to be a little more conscientious of how you raise questions in the future. IShadowed (talk) 06:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fix needed[edit]

According to Template:MedalCompetition: "Example: Competitor who has won medals in the same sport, competing for different countries: For competitors who have won medals in the same sport at different competitions, competing for different countries, the templates should be ordered Sport, Country1, Competition1, Award, Competition2, Award, Country2, Competition1, Award and so on. A fix is needed in order to give correct information about Oksana medals, which one was won for GER, UZB and so on. Another information missing is that, as 2013, she is competing again for Uzbekistan, when and why this happened? Osplace 02:47, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fond this link but something is still missing. Osplace 02:50, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 5 external links on Oksana Chusovitina. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Regarding Skills[edit]

The article states:

As a vault specialist, she is one of only a few top female vaulters in the world who does not perform a Yurchenko style vault.[citation needed] Instead, she competes only front handspring entry and Tsukahara-family vaults.

Although I believe she mainly does vaults from these families, at the 2016 Rio Olympics she performed a double twisting Yurchenko style vault. I don't know if the above text should be modified to indicate this or simply removed. Gingerbreads (talk) 02:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

I have found the infobox said that Oksana's hometown is Köln Germany. But I find no references to prove this. She actually born in Uzbekistan. Could this be a mistake? --Theonlyearth (talk) 04:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
