Amy Chow and the “magnificent seven” made headlines at the 1996 Olympic games when they won the team gold in women’s gymnastics. Chow, ’01, also earned silver on the uneven bars that year.

Any new Olympic dreams? “Right now I’m just doing it for fun,” says Chow, whose winning height was 12 feet, 9 1/2 inches.
