medals. Over half of these have been gold. She is the first US gymnast to win 2 World
All-Around Titles. Her tally of five medals (2 silver, 3 bronze) at the 1992 Olympics

“Magnificent Seven” to the US Women’s first ever Team Gold and for the first time
for any American gymnast, she captured Gold on the Balance Beam.
After retiring from Olympic competition, Shannon received her undergraduate
