While were all applauding Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas for making their second Olympic gymnastics team, we should all probably take a moment to recognize the sports real timeless treasure.And if you thought Raisman, 22, and Douglas, 20, were old for the sport, you really aint seen nothing yet. Meet Oksana Chusovitina, a 41-year-old who is heading to Rio for her SEVENTH Olympic games. Shockingly, there are no typos in that last sentence.Competing for her native Uzbekistan, the 2008 vault silver medalist will look to return to the podium on her signature event and show women more than half her age how its done. I am feeling good, she said in an interview this week with the Associated Press.On the podium, everyone is the same whether you are 40 or 16. You have to go out and do your routine and your jumps. But its a pity there are no points for age, she said.Chusovitina, who has a son the same age as Laurie Hernandez, has previously represented Germany and the Unified team that won the gold medal in the team event in 1992. No matter how she fares in Brazil next month, shes still the ultimate inspiration for anyone who feels like theyre too old to do something.If you need me for the rest of the day, Im just going to be watching her training videos on Instagram and feeling capable of doing anything and everything.К соревнованиям готова??@#IGC-Helping Gymnasts Achieve Their Dreams @#internationalgymcampA video posted by Oksana (@oksana2016) onJun 28, 2016 at 8:19am PDT??????@# IGC-Helping Gymnasts Achieve Their Dreams @#internationalgymcampA photo posted by Oksana (@oksana2016) onJun 27, 2016 at 3:15pm PDTSee something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn. Alvin Kamara Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Alvin Kamara Saints Jersey . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. http://www.shoptheofficialsaints.com/Elite-Rickey-Jackson-Saints-Jersey/ . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. Marcus Davenport Jersey . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. Marcus Davenport Saints Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago. CYPRESS, Calif. -- Feisty in the gate and wide throughout the race, Accelerate won his third consecutive start in Saturdays $201,035 Los Alamitos Derby, but only after surviving a six-minute inquiry into an incident in the final furlong.Accelerate finished a head in front of 3-1 Semper Fortis, who was 1-1/2 lengths clear of Blackjackcat, the 5-2 second choice. The stewards focused the inquiry on whether Blackjackcat was compromised when jockey Gary Stevens took up late when in tight quarters.Stevens also claimed foul against Semper Fortis. The incident did not affect the order of finish, the stewards ruled.We didnt feel it cost him, steward Tom Ward said. We thought they were going away from him.Ward made the decision with stewards Kim Sawyer and David Nuesch.Accelerate ($3.80) ran 1-1/8 miles in 1:48.48. The Grade 2 Los Alamitos Derby was the colts graded stakes debut.Ridden by Tyler Baze, Accelerate was three wide on the first turn, raced outside on the backstretch and was four wide on the turn. He did not take the lead until the final strides.It was a game effort, trainer John Saddler said.dddddddddddd He was much the best in my opinion.Semper Fortis led by 1-1/2 lengths with a furlong to go, but could not hold off Accelerate, who was racing at 1-1/8 miles for the first time.Blackjackcat was followed in the order of finish by Mishegas, Curlin Road, Sugar Buzz, Chris and Dave, and Arizona Moon. The Los Alamitos Derby was the richest race of the tracks September meeting, which concludes on Sunday.Accelerate, by Lookin at Lucky, is owned by Pete and Kosta Hronis. Purchased for $300,000 as a yearling at Keeneland, Accelerate lost his first three starts from mid-April to mid-June, but is unbeaten in three starts around two turns. He won two one-mile races at Del Mar -- against maidens on July 28 and the Shared Belief Stakes for 3-year-olds on Aug. 26.He got behind the calendar, Sadler said. He wasnt ready early. Were excited about him. We hope we have a Saturday horse for next year.Accelerate has won 3 of 6 starts and earned $236,880. ' ' '
