Shannon Miller
Biography:Shannon is the most decorated American gymnast, male or female, in history, having won more Olympic and World Championship Medals than any other American Gymnast. She has earned 7 Olympic Medals and 9 World Championship Medals. The latter includes 2 World All-Around Gold Medals, a feat that has not been accomplished by any other US athlete. She is the only America to rank among the Top 10 All-Time gymnasts. And now she is the only female athlete to be inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame, twice! (Individual (2006) and Team (2008)). Since her Elite International debut in 1990 she has stunned the World with her grace, athleticism and precision.
Her tally of five medals (2 Silver, 3 Bronze) at the 1992 Olympics was the most medals won by a US athlete. During her career, Shannon has won an astounding 59 International and 49 National medals and over half have been Gold, culminating with two Gold Medals at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Shannon led the "Magnificent 7" to Team Gold and, for the first time for any American gymnast, Gold on the balance beam. She is now a member of 6 Halls of Fame including the United States Olympic Hall of Fame (as the only female to be inducted twice!) and the Women's International Sports Hall of Fame.
