Shannon is currently trying out a new sport, figure skating. She says it is a lot different than gymnastics making it more difficult for her. She also said she probably won't be at the next Winter Olympics in her new sport, but Sydney 2000 is not out of the question. Miller was a member of the first ever Gold Medal Olympic Team in 1996. She also won the gold medal on beam. Her total Olympic medal count now stands at, two gold, two silver and three bronze. Miller served as the co-Grand Marshall of the 1997 Rose Bowl parade. She is the most decorated American gymnast, winning more Olympic and World Championships medals than any other American gymnast, male or female, in history. She has earned seven Olympic medals and nine World Championships medals. Miller is the only American in history to win two consecutive World Championships all-around titles. Internationally, only three female gymnasts had accomplished this feat prior to Miller's performance in 1994. Her second place finish at the 1992 Olympics was the highest all-around finish by an American gymnast at a non-boycotted Games, and her tally of five medals (2 silver, 3 bronze) was the most medals won by a USA athlete. She is the 1995 Pan American Games Champion. She is a three-time Sullivan Award nominee (1993, 1994 and 1995), an award honoring the top amateur athlete in the USA. Miller won the 1994 Dial Award, America's most coveted award for high school seniors, and at the USA Gymnastics Congress, she was named 1994 Athlete of the Year. Miller was the 1994 inaugural recipient of the Henry P. Iba Citizen Athlete Award. Also in 1994, Miller was named a Team Xerox Olympian. She was presented the Master of Sport Award, one of the highest honors one can receive in the sport, in September 1993 at the USA Gymnastics Congress. She was named the USOC SportsWoman of the Month for March and April 1993 and April 1994. Miller was one of four finalists for the Zaharias Award in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
