This specific topic has been covered numerous times before, but I wanted to do my own version of it specifically because there are numerous examples of mother/daughter gymnasts whose stories are not widely known. So rest assured that this isn’t going to be the same list you have seen many times before. I broke the following article up into two parts:
Part I: Covers the Elite/Olympic level examples.
Part II: Covers NCAA/Olympic examples, famous junior prospects, and miscellaneous cases.
So just how common is it for a mother and a daughter to both be an Olympic gymnast? There are only five occasions in women’s artistic gymnastics (WAG) of it happening. There are no instances in Olympic history where a mother and a daughter both have Olympic medals in WAG. But other family relationships such as mother/son, father/son, and father/daughter have bore greater amounts of success.
It was thanks to the OlyMadMen database and Bill Mallon that I was able to find information on some of the more obscure examples. I also included a few father/daughter examples in this series
