Magnificent Seven reunion in the works
Magnificent Seven gymnasticsMagnificent Seven teammates had a message for team captain Amanda Borden after they won gold at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.
“You have to get us back together,” Borden remembered in a phone interview Friday.
Reunions have been rare in the last 15 years, but Borden said she’s been in contact with all of her teammates to arrange at least one get-together in 2016 to mark the 20-year anniversary of their Olympic triumph.
“It’s easier said than done,” said Borden, who owns two Phoenix-area gyms with her husband and has three children. “I know every one of us really wants to make it happen. We are definitely doing it. It’s just a matter of if all of us can be there.”
