CHANDLER, Ariz. An Olympic gold medalist who was part of the world-famous Magnificent Seven USA Women’s Gymnastics Team at the Atlanta games now manages her own gym in the Valley.
Amanda Borden is taking the grit and determination she gained as a young athlete to inspire up-and-coming gymnasts. She coaches the athletes through a sport she fell into as a kid.
“The minute I tried it, I fell in love with it, Borden said. I didn’t know I was going to be a competitive gymnast. I didn’t know I was going to make it to the Olympics. Looking back, I would do it all again.”
