Kristin Maloney - A member of the 2000 Olympic team. Unfortunately nothing seem to go right for the Americans. I personally think it started by leaving Vanessa off the team and it was down hill ever since. But none of this changes the fact that Kristin is a great gymnast and has accomplished a lot in her career. McKayla Maroney - A member of the gold medal team in the 2012 Olympics. She also captured the silver medal in the vault. Shannon Miller - The most decorated medalist in the USA. A member of the 1992 & 1996 Olympic team Shannon has a total of 7 medals, 2 gold, 2 silver, and 3 bronze. In 1992 the focus going in was on Kim Zmeskal but it was Shannon who shined finishing second in the all around and leading the USA to a bronze medal in the team competition. In 1996 as a member of the Magnificent Seven she brought home the gold. Dominique Moceanu - the youngest member of the Magnificent Seven. An injury prior to the 1996 Olympics I think limited her in the competition. Still a major part of the gold medal winning team. Carly Patterson - A member of the silver medal team in the 2004 Olympics. She also captured the Gold medal in the individual All-Around and silver on beam. Jaycie Phelps - A member of the gold medal team in the 1996 Olympics. Her solid routines helped the USA bring home the gold. Aly Raisman - A member of the 2012 and 2016 Olympics team. In 2012, she won gold in the team competition, gold on the floor and bronze on the balance beam. In 2016, she won gold in the team competition, silver in the all around and silver on the floor. Mary Lou Retton - In the 1986 Olympics Mary Lou became the first American women to win the gold medal in the individual All-Around. Moving companies all around the world to want to have her make cameos and endorse them. She went on to capture 5 medals the most by any athlete in the 1984 Olympics. Elise Ray - A member of the 2000 Olympic team. Unfortunately her chance for a medal went up in flames as she fell twice on the vault only to find out later the height of the vault was incorrect. Although she was given another opportunity the damage had already been done. Amazing that something like this could happen. Keri Strug - Who could ever forget Keri's heroic vault in the 1996 Olympics. You couldn't write a movie script better than that. A member of the 1992 and 1996 Olympic team. Jennie Thompson - Always close but never an Olympian. A solid performer however for many years in USA gymnastics. Jordyn Wieber - A member of the gold medal team in the 2012 Olympics.
Morgan White - A member of the 2000 Olympic team. Unfortunately an injury caused her to
miss the Olympics. One of the many setbacks that plagued the USA 2000 Olympic team.
