Amanda Borden

Amanda Borden was captain of the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team, dubbed the Magnificent Seven(including members Dominique Moceanu, Amy Chow, Jaycie Phelps, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller and Kerri Strug), which took home the gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Along with their gold, they made history by becoming the first U.S. Womenʼs Gymnastics team ever to win an Olympic games.
