Famous Olympic Athletes and What They're Doing Today

By Oliver Hamilton -

Olympic medalists are among the most exceptional human beings on the planet. It's a very special thing to be one of the top three in the world, and achieving such an honor brings pride to the athlete's country. Not surprisingly, these outstanding individuals often continue with excellence later in life too. These are some of the greatest Olympians and what they're doing nowadays.

Dominique Moceanu

The cut-off age for the Olympics in 1996 was 14, and Dominique Moceanu became the youngest to compete for a medal in the Olympics when she arrived in Atlanta shortly after her birthday. She didn't win just any individual medal, but she won gold in the all-around competition.

Unfortunately, injuries forced her to retire only four years later. Moceanu got a degree in Business Management later and wrote a book about how training so hard from such a young age affected her body.
