Interview with Dominique Moceanu

Have you all been watching the Olympics as attentively as we have? They’re so exciting! And we have a particular soft spot for Gabby Douglas on the US Women’s gymnastic team because she trains in Des Moines, IA, which is not too far from our office. So proud of her!

A while back we ran a story on another amazing Olympian, Dominique Moceanu, who didn’t know that she had a sister, Jennifer, who was adopted at birth because she was born with no legs. Amazingly enough, they both grew up to be gymnasts and Dominique was Jennifer’s idol — even before realizing they were blood related.

Here’s a video of Dominique’s interview with 20/20 about this amazing story — it’s so incredible the way that things work out.
