OK, there may be an athlete in these Olympics whose story is even more incredible than Dara's.
Oksana Chusovitina - a 32-year-old GYMNAST competing for Germany. This is her fifth Olympic Games - she previously competed for the Soviet Union in 1992 and for Uzbekistan in 1996, 2000, and 2004. Her specialty is the vault.
Chusovitina is the mother of an 8-year old son. She moved to Germany to seek treatment for his leukemia, which is now in remission.
