2 . In the ever-changing world of women’s artistic gymnastics, there has been a gymnast for more than three decades: Oksana Chusovitina.

The 48-year-old had said with certainty that her final competition would be the Tokyo 2020 Games. With no fans in the stands to honor her legendary career (职业生涯) , judges, coaches and other athletes did their best to give her a party worthy of all she’d given the sport. After she thanked them through tears in her eyes, she told media that was her swansong.

However, just a few months after the Tokyo Olympics, Chusovitina said that she would return to training, dreaming of one final medal at a major competition —the Asian Games—for Uzbekistan. “I just can’t finish my career without a medal for my motherland,” she said on her Instagram story.

Chusovitina first competed in the 1992 Olympics as part of the Unified Team and won a team gold medal there. Though she represented (代表) Uzbekistan in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics, her second Olympic medal came some 16 years later in the 2008 Olympics. Chusovitina, then representing her third nation, Germany, where better medical treatment was provided for her sick son, got the silver medal.

And now, her story continues. The historic eight-time Olympian has started her ninth trip to the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the first two World Cup stops of the season she won bronze medals. “Thank you all so much for the support,” she wrote on Instagram. “First start, first medal.”

“More to come,” added the gymnast, whose motto is “I’d rather try today than regret tomorrow”.

10 . Some people have argued that there are two ways to really think about health and exercise — an Eastern way and a Western way. When people think about Eastern ways, they think about how exercise and health are viewed in countries like China. When people think about Western ways, they often think about how health and exercise are viewed in countries like the US.

Eastern exercise programs come in many varieties. There are a number of different kinds of martial arts. Martial arts were originally made to help people protect themselves or attack someone. The movements in these kinds of exercise programs are usually very strong and sharp. There are slower and gentler forms of exercise, too. Such gentler martial arts take the person through a series of slow movements that are designed to help the whole body. Another kind of exercise involving slow movements is yoga. All of these kinds of exercise programs involve the body and the mind. The right kind of thinking and positive attitude are encouraged. In many Asian countries, people gather in parks to exercise together in the open air.

Western exercise programs come in a wide variety as well. People often take up walking or running. They may combine these activities with swimming or weight lifting. Such kinds of exercise are supposed to make your heart beat fast and make your body stronger. People often do these activities in a health club. Going to these health clubs can be very costly and some of the exercise programs require the use of special equipment to get into shape. Some people also enjoy joining health club s to take group exercise classes. But those who run tend to run alone in parks or on quiet streets.

Western exercise is usually focused on losing weight, getting healthy, or feeling good about yourself. It is not necessarily connected to certain ways of thinking, although trainers and doctors encourage people to have a positive attitude about exercising.

Maybe choosing an exercise approach is not about which one is better, but rather about choosing activities from both that work for you. In some places, it is not easy to go to the park to exercise with others. Some people cannot afford special equipment. The most important thing is to find an activity that you enjoy and exercise your way to better health.
