Olympic gymnast Strug to appear at business conference
Olympic gold medal gymnast Kerri Strug will appear at the Central Iowa Business Conference in Urbandale Sept. 19. She joins a lineup that already included Daymond John of ABC’s “Shark Tank.” Strug is known for landing a key vault at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta after injuring her ankle on her first pass. The image of coach Bela Karolyi carrying Strug became an iconic moment. She later worked for the U.S. Juvenile Justice Department. Register for the Urbandale conference online.
