Dominique started in gymnastics at
the age of 6. Her first and only coach, Kelli Hill, quickly realized her potential and started Dominique competing at the age of 10. Dominique burst into the international spotlight when the US Team captured
the Bronze Medal at the 1992 Olympic Games. Since then, Dominique has won more National Championship medals than any other athlete, male or female, as well as four World Championship medals. One of her
greatest accomplishments came when she swept all four events and won the All Around title at the 1994 National championships.
At the 1996 Olympic Games, Dominique and the US
Gymnastics team stole the hearts of America with their team Gold Medal. Since then, she has appeared on Broadway in the hit musical, Grease. She recently appeared on the Disney television show,
