10 Inspirational Female Olympians
From Work It, Girl
Kerri Strug
After shocking the world by sticking the landing on her vault with a severely injured ankle during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and helping the USA Women’s Gymnastics team win gold, Kerri Strug and the Magnificent Seven became household names. Prior to this huge accomplishment, at only 14 years old, Kerri was the youngest Olympic athlete at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Today, Kerri, who became a mother in March, takes the time to give back to the community by being involved in many of the charities that touch her big heart.
