Summer Sanders
Every ‘90s kid will know who Summer Sanders is, even if they don’t know of her Olympic accolades. She attended the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, taking home two gold medals, one silver, and a bronze. It was also at this moment in time when Summer would leave competitive sports as an athlete.
Not long after returning to the US, she was picked up by Nickelodeon to host Figure It Out. She’d subsequently land other hosting gigs with MTV, ESPN, Fox Sports, and Food Network. Summer released an autobiography titled Champions Are Raised, Not Born back in 1999, where she described how much work actually went into becoming an Olympian medalist and media personality.
