One of the biggest inspirations for the current generations of gymnasts, Carly Patterson, still reverberates in the sport, thanks to her greatness. Famously, Patterson wowed audiences around the world during the 2004 Olympics, earning a gold medal for all-around athletics. As such, she’s also entered the Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
After retiring in 2009, Patterson chose to take a completely different road and went into the music industry. “I started having some back issues, and honestly, my doctor was like, ‘Carly, you really need to stop if you want to be able to walk when you get older.’… So I retired and moved on to singing,” she recently explained. Today, Patterson works as a singer-songwriter, working out of Chicago. She also married strategy consultant Mark Caldwell, with whom she has three children.
