One of the Golden Girls of the ’96 Olympics Gymnastics team was Dominique Moceanu.  She was a spunky little 14-year-old who won the hearts of the spectators, especially when they watched her on the beam and in floor exercise.  But she was hiding a secret which she revealed 2 years later when she filed for emancipation from her parents.  As an adult, she discovered another secret –  a sister she had never known.

 

 

Dominique and her sister are inspiring.  In spite of abuse, Dominique rose above her circumstances and leads a full life.  In spite of her physical disability, her sister has achieved all that she has set out to do as well.  What an amazing story!
