Shannon Miller is a member of the Magnificent Seven gymnastics team that won Gold in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Shannon joined Ken and Steve to talk about next month's Rio Olympics and her battle with cancer.

Shannon started by talking about her memories twenty years after winning a gold medal saying "It's amazing to think that it's been that long in some ways it feels like yesterday but in other ways it feels like a lifetime ago." Shannon also described her favorite moment from the 1996 games saying "walking into the arena on that first day of podium training and there were 40 thousand people cheering for us."

Shannon also went on to talk about her battle with ovarian cancer, and beating the terrible disease that has effected so many lives.
