Kerri Strug became the Olympian hero of the Women’s All-Around Gymnastics Event at the 1996 Atlanta Games. She was a key performer in the famous “Magnificent Seven” and sacrificed a chance to compete in the Individual All-Around to win the gold with the rest of her teammates.
Strugg landed the vault routine in the final rounds of the competition while sustaining an ankle injury. The “Magnificent Seven’s” coach, Béla Károlyi, carried Kerri from the podium after she stuck her landing, taking the top honor to bestow upon her team. Kerri Strug’s sacrifice resulted in the grand success achieved by one of her teammates.
