Nastia Liukin
This Russian American gymnast made history in the 2008 Olympics. She was the individual all-around champ, but that’s not all. She has nine World Championships to her name and tied with the gymnast Shannon Miller for third most World Champion medals among American gymnasts. Things sure did not slow down for her after her gymnastics career.

Retirement
Of course, we have to mention she was predicted to make a second Olympic team for 2012, but sadly, did not make the cut. She retired in 2012, but like other former Olympians, she competed on Dancing with the Stars! She was on the 20th season, paired with Derek Hough, and the two even made it to the semi-finals.
