2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Carly Patterson Returns to Athens
Carly Patterson is back in Athens, Greece, this week for the first time since winning all-around gold at the 2004 Olympic Games.

Patterson, who became the second American woman to capture Olympic all-around gold 12 years ago, also won over the crowd with her sweet personality and stunning gymnastics.



And, being a gymnast, she had to take the classic handstand picture, although acrobatics apparently aren't allowed at the Acropolis!



Take a trip down memory lane and watch Patterson's floor routine from the 2004 Olympics, along with her reaction to winning gold:
