Biography

Amy Chow is a retired American gymnast and a member of the famous Magnificent Seven, the first American team to win Olympic gymnastics gold.

Amy was born in 1978. She was the first Asian American woman to take an Olympic medal in her sport.

In addition to her gymnastic career, Chow is also a pianist. In 1994, she received an advanced level certificate of merit for piano. In high school she was also a competitive diver for Castilleja School, continuing with the sport even at Stanford. Chow has been a pole vaulter, and has competed as an unattached athlete at "open" track and field events in the discipline. Because she received money following the 1996 Olympic Games, she was ineligible to be a collegiate athlete.
