Dominique Moceanu

... she was up there.

I mean, I s- I literally, I damn near stalked Dominique Moceanu in '96 Olympic.

That was my first crush.

My, my-

I was gonna do them a solid and kind of clean up a little bit.

You know, kind of straighten up the house for them.

And I was in my parents' bedroom straightening up, and I, in a drawer, found this folded up piece of paper, and it was a love letter I wrote to Dominique Moceanu-

They intercepted it

Nobody was paying attention.

But I was probably Dominique Moceanu at that point.

Do it again.

Do it again this year.

You gotta be cool with a lot of stuff real fast.

I'm not kidding you.

Dominique Moceanu is the reason I watched the Olympics-

Yeah, everybody

The games were being held on American soil, and inside the gigantic Georgia Dome, seven young women were preparing for one of the biggest moments in the history of American gymnastics.

Their names were Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps, and Kerri Strug.

Together, they had earned a nickname that sounded like it belonged in a story about a group of superheroes.

They were the Magnificent Seven.

Shannon Miller was one of the world's most accomplished gymnasts and master of precision on the four-inch balance beam.

Dominique Dawes was a powerful, high-flying, and barrier-breaking performer in floor exercises.

At just 14 years old, Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the team, but a fan favorite thanks to her personality and upbeat exercises.

Kerri Strug was already a veteran of the 1992 Olympics and known for her speed and explosive power on the vault exercise.
