About
Dominique Dawes turned three Olympic medal runs into a gymnastics legacy—then pivoted to sports ownership. Born November 20, 1976, in the US, the retired artistic gymnast earned the nickname "Awesome Dawesome" as a 10-year member of the U.S. national team. She won gold with the "Magnificent Seven" at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, plus bronze on floor exercise at the same Games, and medaled at Barcelona 1992 (bronze) and Sydney 2000 (bronze). A Scorpio, Dawes has since become a minority owner of the NWSL's Washington Spirit and a Limited Partner with the Atlanta Falcons.

Biography
Dominique Margaux Dawes was a three-time Olympian who redefined what a gymnast's career arc could look like after the podium. Born November 20, 1976, she spent a decade on the U.S. national gymnastics team, earning the community nickname "Awesome Dawesome". In 1994 she won the U.S. all-around senior National Championship. Her Olympic résumé spans three Summer Games: Barcelona 1992 (team bronze), Atlanta 1996 (team gold with the "Magnificent Seven" and individual bronze on floor exercise), and Sydney 2000 (team bronze). She is one of only four female American gymnasts—alongside Muriel Grossfeld, Linda Metheny-Mulvihill, and Simone Biles—to compete in three Olympics and win medals at each. Dawes was also the first female gymnast to earn medals on three Olympic teams since Ludmilla Tourischeva (1968, 1972, 1976), a distinction later matched only by Khorkina and Biles. As an American citizen and artistic gymnast, her sport demands both technical precision and artistic expression across apparatus and floor routines. Beyond competition, Dawes became a minority owner of the NWSL's Washington Spirit in 2020 under Michele Kang's ownership, and in 2024 joined the Atlanta Falcons ownership group as a Limited Partner under Arthur Blank. Her Scorpio nature—born at the cusp of transformation—mirrors a career that pivoted seamlessly from elite athlete to sports executive.
