Excellent!

This book goes into great detail about Shannon's gymnastics career from the beginning up until the 96 Olympics and her professional career. It's the best book I have read on her so far. This book is great for a fan who wants this book as a "map" of her career, or for someone who did not watch gymnastics before 96.

If your a fan of Shannon Miller this is a MOST!

This is a great book to know what Shannon Miller was like what she she had to do everyday. everything she won all the times she fell and practicly everything you wanted to know.

Shannon Miller, Seven Time Olympic Medalist

Shannon Miller, America's Most Decorated Gymnast is a great easy to read biography. Krista Quiner did an excellent job telling about Shannon's days in the former Soviot Union when she was just nine. This book goes through her first day at Steve Nunno's gym, Barcelona in '92, the days everyone was saying she was past her prime in the sport, right up until the '96 Olympics. Shannon's courage to never give up because she was older than most of her competition won her two gold medals in Atlanta, the team gold and her gold for her balance beam routine. This absolutly the best book written about Shannon Miller

Bringing us closer to a champion

This book was written very well. We all have watch Shannon Miller grow up in the sport of gymnastics, and this brings us even closer to her. From the beginning when she met Steve Nunno her coach, till just before the Olympics, this book gives us the ins and outs of what makes a champion. We learn everything from what her coach was like inside the gym to how she deals with fan mail to what her social life is like. Through this book, Shannon is seen as a real person, not just a gymnast. This is a must read for any fan
