Paul Hamm
Paul Hamm became the first U.S. male gymnast to win the gold of the 2004 Athens Olympics all-around. He also became the only American gymnast to have won the all-around in both the Olympics and the Gymnastics World Championships. This gold medal was controversial because of a scoring error that happened to one of his competitors, but it remained with Hamm, who also won a pair of silvers. After failing to make the team in 2008 and 2012, he made appearances on the Japanese version of Ninja Warrior. Hamm also has shown us some of his spectacular acting performance in the movies The Vampire Diaries and Sasuke.

Annia Hatch
Annia Hatch was born in Cuba, and she represented her homeland since she was four years old. Hatch is a dual citizen of the U.S and Cuba. She is a seven-time national champion in Cuba. Despite qualifying for the 1996 Olympics, the Cuban Olympic Committee didn’t have enough funds to send her to the games, even though they were close by in Atlanta, Georgia. But in 1997, she met Alan Hatch, an American, and married him. She had already moved to the U.S. and gotten naturalized, so when the 2004 Olympics rolled around, she wowed judges and won two silvers. She was 26 years old and was considered the oldest American gymnast to medal at an Olympic Games and became the first naturalized American citizen and Latin American gymnast to medal. After the games, Hatch officially retired from gymnastics and pursued a career in fashion. She studied fashion design and merchandising. Since then, she has coached and designed her fashion line.
