Yesterday, legendary gymnast Chusovitina said on social media that she was injured while preparing for the Olympic qualifying match, and she has withdrawn from the competition. At present, there is no accurate statement about the extent of Chusovitina's injury. According to the relevant sources, yesterday's news is that the injury will only take three to four weeks to recover. However, at present, Chusovitina has not been qualified for the Paris Olympic Games. This Asian Championships was originally her last chance. In theory, however, the International Gymnastics Federation will issue a wild card for the Olympic Games. Whether to issue it to Chusovitina is still unknown.

Chusovitina is a legendary gymnast in the gymnastics world. Since 1991, she has competed as a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and represented Uzbekistan in the Olympic Games for eight times, setting a Guinness World Record.

In 2002, Chusovitina's 3-year-old son was found to be suffering from leukemia. She sold her property and participated in the competition crazily. All for higher income and better medical conditions, she hoped to provide her son with medical treatment through the competition bonus. Since then, Chusovitina has transferred to Germany to represent Germany in the World Series. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Chusovitina won the silver medal in women's vault.

In 2022, at the age of 47, Chusovitina won the bronze medal in the women's vault in Cottbus of the Gymnastics World Cup, showing an amazing state. At the Asian Games last year, Chusovitina participated in the horse vaulting competition. Although she failed to reach the podium, she had already written her own legendary record. At that time, when receiving an exclusive interview with a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, Chusovitina said that participating in the Paris Olympic Games was her ultimate goal. Not long ago, in order to better prepare for the Olympic qualifying events, Chusovitina also went to Shanghai for special training.

Unfortunately, Chusovitina was injured in the pre competition training for the Asian Championships, which is also the qualification event of the Olympic Games, which forced her to withdraw from the competition early. As a result, Chusovitina's hope of participating in the Paris Olympic Games has become slim. She can only hope to get the Olympic wild card issued by the International Sports Federation.
