| Dominique Moceanu was born in America to Romanian parents and competed as part of America's "Magnificent Seven' gymnastics team in the Atlanta Olympics. Her story is one of behind the scenes turmoil not unexpected from a child star. OK, the legless acrobat secret sister is a surprise, but the rest of her story is interesting but not surprising: her father was a tyrant, Bela Karolyi cared more about himself than the kids he coached, her money was squandered before she was old enough to take control of it. It is still ultimately an inspiring story of someone who made the best of the good and the bad in her life.
