The Former Olympian Shooting for a Spot on the USA Gymnastics Team

September 20, 2020

Simone Biles, with a total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, is widely considered the best gymnast in the world. At age 23, she’s also considered old. Now, gymnast Chellsie Memmel could shatter that narrative by returning to the sport at 32 years old. She’s a three-time World champion and won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, despite breaking her foot three days into training. Now, 12 years later, Memmel is shooting for a spot in the Tokyo Olympics and is looking to show her two children you’re never too old to follow your dreams.
