This book has everything you would ever want to know about the 1996 American Women Gymnastic Team. It has 14 pages about each individual gymnast, that clearly talks about their start of their career, to their fame in the sport. This book included pictures right out of the champions family photo albums too, so if you want to know more about these 7 wonderful athletes, check out this "Magnificent" book!

If you like gymnastics you'll love this book! It tells about the lives of the seven gymnasts on the 1996 gold medal winning U.S. Olympic gymnastics team, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Kerri Strug, Dominque Dawes, Jaycie Phelps, Amanda Borden, and Amy Chow. There are pictures of each girl from their very young life to the 1996 Olympics.

This book is what really got me interested in gymnastics.

I had gotten introduced to gymnastics through a book about Mary Lou Retton I had picked up at a thrift store, but I didn't become too interested until I saw a picture of Kim Zmeskal in an Encyclopedia Annual. I looked her up on the Internet, and the rest they say is history.

Through the Internet I discovered the Magnificent Seven, and I found this book at our library. I couldn't have been more satisfied!

The Magnificent Seven was a team of US girls that consisted of Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Jaycie Phelps, Shannon Miller, Dominique Dawes, Dominique Moceanu and Kerri Strug. These talented gymnasts won the very first Olympic Gold team medal in US. Gymnastic history.

This book has very informative biographies about each girl, complete with full color photos. It is very well written, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the Magnificent Seven, or just want to see some great pictures about them.

After the Magnifecent Seven's wonderful performance at the '96 Olympic Games, I decided to read this book to find out more about these talented young women. I thought it was terrific! There are biographies of each of the seven members along with really cool pictures. This book was awesome. These seven are really magnificint and it shows!

This book has 14 pages each on each member of the Magnificent Seven. There are color photos of each of them from birth to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. The book tells you about their feelings of the '96 Olympics and also tells a bit about their career up to Atlanta. This book has pictures of each gymnast from the family photo album. You probably won't see them anywhere else. I think this book is for only gymnastics fans. I think non-gymnastics fans will think the book is boring. I reccomend this book to any gymnastic fan!

They took our hearts in Atlanta, now read a more detailed selection on these seven remarkable gymnasts. In this book, the author talks about each gymnast of the womens gymnastics team in each of the chapters, which she then goes into more specfic details about what the gymnast has done before the Olympic Games, what changes have occured after winning their first ever gold, and what the future holds for these seven young women.

It told you all about the Mag 7 that you would want to know. It not only told you about thier careers, but as they were in person. I felt that the book was very informative, but a really really intresting book.

Want to know what it takes to become an Olympic champion-then just read this book. This book tells a summary of each of the lives of the 7 girls who stole our hearts in Atlanta. Each day(except weekends)these 7 girls trained for up to 8 hours to hopefully one day accomplish their dream and win an Olympic gold medal,and thats exactly what they did. Also many,many great pictures. Buy this book from Amazon because bookstores have trouble keeping it in stock!
