Amy Chow, MD, 2000 USA Olympics gymnastics team bronze medalist

[bernardmvella]

She graduated literally from one of THE TOP schools in the world, with one of THE HARDEST degrees to complete in the world, and went to THE TOP sporting event in the world TWICE. She is truly an absolutely amazing human being, representing the largest physical and mental peaks anyone could.

Amy is a very nice person, so she went ahead with this interview, but it's obvious she's not all that interested in the whole "gymnastics thing." She's got a lot more and a lot bigger things on her mind as a pediatrics resident.

superwoman

suegirl145: racist much??!!!! Wow.....what ignorance.

[suegirl145]

Amy Chow's parents were pushy and she's always been training to be an overachiever, her brother is the same way, he just never became a famous Olympic gymnast. This is very common in Asian families, they're pushed and expected to be successful. What's so confusing, it's a known fact!

[SexyLiLLeilaniMya]

She was a wonderful talent in gymnastics and pretty much a legend in the sport I'm so proud to see her doing what it is she never gave up during gymnastics which is medical school and now being a resident MD almost done and on her own wow great job Amy and P.S. everyone she is a very very accomplished pianist for those of you who don't know!

[Yuri92001]

LOL leave her alone! Do you REALIZE how busy a Resident is!? lol I NEVER see those people sleep at work:P

[metsdudenj]

The stupidist interviewer in history

[roch202020]

Wow, what an amazing young lady; best wishes for you, Amy; woof!

[metsdudenj]

WOW ! Amazing, now the next step is to get our 1988 Olympic team bronze medal back from East Germany.

[FL74USA]

@metsdudenj I wish, but we know this will never happen

[hankin16]

amy is just amazing

[HeyButtahfly]

That really wasn't a very good interviewer, goodness! But she handled it really well. I'm excited for her!

[suegirl145]

I wouldnt say she's anything special. Many Asian parents push their kids into multi activities with high expectations, this is very typical of her culture.

[nodaybuttoday01]

@suegirl145 Are you frickin kidding?? "Many Asian" kids don't go to the Olympics twice let alone a 3-time Olympic medalist. She is superwoman - how she managed to practice in music/gymnastics/diving/other sports as well as excel, and I MEAN excel in academia (not Shawn Johnson's "Ohh, I'm a straight A student" which obviously she should seeing as she only went to a half day of school per day with the lightest course load), as in STANFORD MED. How you can say that she's not special is beyond me.

[jbandgymnastics]

@nodaybuttoday01 Shawn didn't go half days

[nodaybuttoday01]

@suegirl145 And to excel in one sport takes all that anyone would have - to excel in gymnastics AND diving as well as being a performance-level musician, and a DOCTOR which ALL take a tremendous amount of dedication - if you know a single person who is as accomplished in everything she does, please, do tell. Because I can't think of anyone.

@suegirl145 Let's check out suegirl145's formula, pushy Asian parents + high expectations = success, and talent, hard work, and drive are just incidental. Next time when my parents nag me for underachieving at age 25, I'll turn around and blame them for not being Asian and not pushing when I was growing up. I shall never forgive them for the missed opportunity; I could have been an Olympics medalist and a MD by now, if they had done their proper parenting job.

[violet46]

She has really come out of her shell! I remember how shy she used to be during interviews when she was doing gymnastics.

[kakumei77]

Aside from the weird interviewer bothering her at work, Congrats Amy! You deserve that bronze. You were the veteran that led that team doing good routines in the AA! Doing the most difficult routines out of all the girls! You rock!

[usagurl14]

Wow bad questions from the interviewer but Dr Chow is so classy. Congrats to her, both on her medal and soon-to-be completion of residency!

[geishasecrets]

wow the interviewer is such an embarrasment.

Did he prepare his questions?

What qualifications did he have?

Most inane questions.

What do your parents think? Are they going to mail the medals to you? Then he jumps into the Chinese controversy.

Dumb.

The fool should be drawn, emasculated, disemboweled, quartered and fed to vultures.

[Mikizzle15]

Amy was always such a multi-tasker from medical school, gymnastics, diving, piano, etc. She's awesome. Congrats Amy, you and the entire team deserve to win!!! :-)

[NatalieJonathan]

Super-cool.
