Shannon has won an astounding 59 International and 49 National competition medals, with over half of these resulting in gold medals. The only U.S. Gymnast to win two World All-Around titles, she is also the first American female to medal in the individual all-around of a non-boycotted Olympics, and the most accomplished gymnast, male or female, in U.S. Olympic history.
