Except for NBC who did not fluff her nor show her on vault...it boggles the mind.hwell:
Have not been a fan of NBC's gymnastics coverage overall, but to their credit, they did show Chusovitina on vault. There may not have been a full fluff piece (those are mostly reserved for Americans), but there was mention of her story and how historic it was that she was competing in her 6th Olympics. Her first was in 1992, which was before most of the other competing gymnasts were even born.
There's also the Bulgarian Jordan Jovtchev who was competing at age 39 (with gray hair, no less) and made it into the still rings finals.
