About Carly Patterson
At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Carly Patterson became the first American woman in 20 years to win the All-Around Olympic Gold medal since Mary Lou Retton in 1984. The 2004 Olympic Champion, Carly Patterson, was born February 4, 1988, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the first of two children to Ricky and Natalie Patterson.

I would recommend Carly for any appearance as her story is relevant to everyone.
