2014 Coke Rewards Olympic Gymnast Dominique Dawes Autographed Aluminum Bottle

2014 Coca Cola Rewards Official program Autographed Aluminum Bottle by 3-Time Olympian Dominique Dawes. I've never seen another one of these and guess the run to be about 10 total (or less).

Never opened; still has flavorful Coke inside! Awesome collectible of a true, ground-breaking athlete! Perfect condition; no scratches or dings. Known in the gymnastics community as'Awesome Dawesome,' she was a 10-year member of the U. National gymnastics team, the 1994 U.

All-around senior National Champion, a three-time Olympian, a World Championship silver and bronze medalist, and a member of the gold-medal-winning "Magnificent Seven" team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Dawes is also notable as being the first African-American woman to win an individual Olympic medal in artistic gymnastics, and the first black person of any nationality or gender to win an Olympic-gold-medal in gymnastics. She is also one of only three female American gymnasts, along with Muriel Grossfeld and Linda Metheny-Mulvihill, to compete in three Olympics and was part of their medal-winning teams: Barcelona 1992 (bronze), Atlanta 1996 (gold), and Sydney 2000 (bronze). She is also the Olympic bronze medalist on floor exercise from the Atlanta games.

Dawes is the first female gymnast to be a part of three Olympic-medal-winning teams since Ludmilla Tourischeva won gold in Mexico City (1968), Munich (1972), and Montreal (1976). Since Dawes, Svetlana Khorkina is the only gymnast to accomplish this feat, winning silver in Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000), and bronze in Athens (2004).
