Kerri Strug early life Kerri was that she was the youngest of three kids. She was born on November 19, 1977, in Tucson, Arizona. She had one brother named Kevin and a sister named Lisa. When Kerri was five her mom would always say, �Don�t walk on your hands walk on your feet�! �When she was fourteen she was in the 1992 Olympics team. Isn�t that amazing! When Kerri was fourteen, she went to green field high school. When she was fifteen till eighteen she left home to go do gymnastic at Belles, a gym run by Bella Karolyi, a famous russian.

Kerri had many nagging injures throughout her career. Kerri would always compare herself to others. That was not a good thing to do.
