McKayla Maroney, 27 – California
Women’s gymnastics in America would be incomplete without Mikayla Maroney, the only woman to ever defend the Summer Olympics World Championship title for the vault. She won two gold medals in 2011 and 2013. Beyond her gymnastics fame, Maroney became a social media sensation in 2012 after a picture of her looking unimpressed after receiving a silver medal went viral. That picture is now an NFT.
Maroney retired in 2016, announcing her interest in acting and music. Just like she said, we have seen her in TV Commercials, and she dropped her first single titled; “Wake Up Call” in 2020. In May 2021, she revealed on Twitter that she is also writing a book.
