Brandi Sue Siegel (born 4 August 1979) is a retired American rhythmic gymnast. She was part of the national senior group.[1]
Biography
[edit]She was on the US national rhythmic gymnastics team from 1994 to 1997, being part of the national senior group along Kate Nelson, Lori Fredreickson, Aliane Baquerot, Ginny Ledgerwood, Becky Turner, Mandy James and Challen Sievers.[2] They all lived together in suburban Chicago largely due to Sievers' father, Ron, whose construction firm renovated the house where the gymnasts lived and converted a former racquetball complex into the gym where they trained.[3] They won silver at the 1995 Pan American Games in Mar del Plata, and placed second in the group at the 1995 Four Continents Championships.[4]
In the summer of 1996 Brandi, Aliane Baquerot, Kate Nelson, Becky Turner, Mandy James and Challen Sievers were selected to compete at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, the first edition to feature the group competition.[5] They finished in 9th place and so did not advance to the final.[6] She also competed at the 1996 World Championships in Budapest finishing 15th.[7]
