Amy Chow, Olympian

Amy Chow was a member of the 'Magnificent Seven' U.S. team that won gold at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Also in Atlanta, Chow took the Silver medal on uneven bars, her favorite event; it was the first of three individual gymnastics medals captured by American women in Atlanta. Chow is one of only seven Americans ever to earn an individual Olympic medal in women's gymnastics.

She left the sport shortly after the 1996 Games and returned to the sport for the 2000 Sydney Games. Chow enrolled at Stanford University on a gymnastic scholarship in the fall of 1996.
