While elite athletes, like Simone Biles and McKayla Maroney, make it look easy, gymnastics is one of the hardest sports on the planet – both physically and mentally. It is, therefore, not surprising to hear that most gymnasts retire in their late teens or early 20’s. But don’t tell that to Oksana Chusovitina. The veteran gymnast, who has been in the limelight since winning her first major competition – the USSR’s junior national championships – at age 13, is still going strong at the ripe “old” age of 43!

              Cool! I am going to be honest with myself, but I am terrible at gymnastics! I can't even do a cartwheel, and I am 13 😂

                  It's easier to learn when your young.

                    I am 10 but I can only do a cartwheel. Last time I tried to do a flip I ended up all twisted and almost broke my neck😂

                wow!! I also agree that age is just a number. even one of my favourite singers dolly parton who is 74 says that she does not want to retire.

                  I totally agree with Oksana, because to me, age is just a number too. My parents say that I don't "act my age", because I don't do as much things that teens usually do, and they also say that I have a "very old soul"...😐 idk why though... Whatever, I do agree with that though, that age is just a number, not how you are supposed to act...Like if you agree👍
