On this day July 23, 1996: The United States women's gymnastics team wins its first-ever team gold medal on July 23, 1996, at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps, and Kerri Strug comprised the 1996 United States women's team, dubbed the "Mag 7" or "magnificent seven." The team went into the Summer Olympics with the weight of an entire country on their young shoulders. They were regarded as America's best chance at Olympic team gold, something no American women's gymnastics team had ever achieved. To that point, the best finish for the American women had been a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, which were boycotted by the favored Soviet Union, which had won eight consecutive team golds between 1952 and 1980. To win gold in 1996, the United States women competed against perennial contender Russia and Romania, the two-time defending world champions. Nonetheless, American fans believed the odds were in their favor: the team possessed a wealth of talent, and each of its members was capable of winning events. When the team competition began, veteran American star Shannon Miller did not disappoint, finishing second overall to Ukrainian world champion Lilia Podkopayeva. The vault was the final event of the team competition for the United States. The team, as well as coach Bela Karolyi, were unaware that they had won. Strug landed solidly on two feet after executing a flawless one-and-a-half twisting Yurchenko. She then spun around and hopped on one foot towards the judges' table before collapsing in agony. She celebrated her 9.712 in the arms of her coach, who would later have to carry the 4-foot-9-inch “Spark Plug” Strug to the medal stand. #HistoryOfThisDay #AlittleTrivia #July23rd #USWomenOlympics #AmandaBorden #AmyChow #DominiqueDawes #ShannonMiller #DominiqueMoceanu #JayciePhelps #KerriStrug #AlwaysBeLearning #BeAboutYouAcademy #RiseUpFinancialFreedomSolutions #BeAboutYourCredit #BeAboutYourBusiness #NCnotaryPublic (at Rise Up Financial Freedom Solutions LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrz34_BSUy/?utm_medium=tumblr
