She has won six career world medals, including three gold and three silver. At the 2005 World Championships, Memmel became the first U.S. woman to win the all-around gold medal since Shannon Miller in 1994, as well as claimed silver on the uneven bars and balance beam. Memmel burst into the spotlight at the 2003 Pan American Games, where she won five medals, including team and all-around gold. An alternate on the 2003 World Championships Team, she was cast into the lineup after injuries and illness of three team members. Memmel helped the USA win its first-ever team world gold medal, earning the highest all-around marks of any U.S. gymnast during team finals. She also tied with teammate Hollie Vise for the gold medal on the uneven bars. For her outstanding 2003 season, Memmel was named the 2003 TOPs Co-Athlete of the Year with Carly Patterson. Memmel's parents, Andy and Jeanelle, were All-American collegiate gymnasts who now own M&M Gymnastics. Memmel has two sisters, Mara and Skyler.
