Rewind: Chat with Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller

Shannon Miller is the most decorated American gymnast, male or female, in history, having won more Olympic and World Championship medals than any other American gymnast.

She earned seven Olympic medals and nine World Championships medals during her elite international career which started in 1990.

A member of two U.S. Olympic Teams, she was part of the "Magnificent Seven," the first U.S. women's gymnastics team to win an Olympic team gold medal, at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. She also became the first American gymnast to win an individual gold medal on the balance beam in 1996.

Miller is a member of the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, International Women's Sports Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.

In 2007, she started the Shannon Miller Foundation, which is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity and she recently launched Shannon Miller Lifestyle, a website and line of books and videos dedicated to health and fitness for women.

She is in the Seattle area to promote the 2012 Kellogg's Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships, March 16-18, at Comcast Arena in Everett.

Miller talked about competing at the Olympics, her extraordinary gymnastics career and much more in a live chat on Feb. 10.
