為兒子而贏

Her 9-year-old son, Alisher, is in recovery from leukemia, the illness that brought Chusovitina to Germany six years ago. It is because of that illness that Chusovitina competes for Germany instead of her native Uzbekistan. And gymnastics helped save Alisher’s life.

丘索維金娜當時說:“如果我不參加比賽,那么我的兒子就活不下去，就這么簡單,我兒子今天接受了手術,他能接受治療的唯一前提是我在嫌錢,我別無選擇。”
Seeking advanced medical treatment for their son, Chusovitina and her husband accepted an offer of help from Shanna and Peter Brttggemann, head coaches of the Toyota Cologne club, and moved to Germany. With prize money earned from gymnastics competitions, along with the help of the Brflggemanns and members of the international gymnastics community who fundraised and donated to the cause，Chusovitina was able to secure treatment for Alisher at tiie University of Cologne’s hospital. While Alisher underwent treatment in Cologne, Chusovi-tina trained with the German team.
