20 years ago in 1996, the "Magnificent Seven" of Shannon Miller, Kerri Strug, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes, Amy Chow, Amanda Borden, and Jaycie Phelps became the first American women's team to take gold in the Olympic all-around. On Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, the United States women's team is heavily favored to win their third all-around gold, after the Fierce Five accomplished the feat in London four years ago.
Reigning Olympic individual all-around champion Gabby Douglas paid tribute to that groundbreaking American team just hours before the team competiton got underway.
