}} Terin Marie Humphrey (born August 14, 1986) is a United States gymnast. She was a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team in Athens, Greece where she helped the team to a silver medal. Her teammates were Mohini Bhardwaj, Annia Hatch, Carly Patterson, Courtney Kupets and Courtney McCool. Terin competed on bars and beam in the team finals, and contributed solid scores of 9.587 and 9.487 respectively. She also competed in the event finals on the uneven bars and won a surprise silver medal for her country. This was the best bars result by an American woman in the Olympics since Amy Chow took silver in the 1996 Olympics. Terin placed third at the 2004 US Gymnastics Championships in Nashville, TN, improving on her sixth-place performance the year before. In 2002, Humphrey competed at the World Gymnastics Championships. No team or all-around competition was held, only individual event finals. Terin qualified within the top 16 gymnasts to advance to the semi-final round on both floor and vault. She just missed a spot in the vault finals placing 9th as only the top 8 advanced to the final medal round. On floor, her semi-final routine was good enough for 11th place, respectfully. Even though Humphrey did not make the finals, she gained valuable international experience. In, 2003, Terin was a member of the first US National women's squad to win the World Team Championship, contributing one of her signature elegant, yet difficulty-packed floor routines. Humphrey was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri. She lived in Bates City, Missouri, and graduated from Odessa, Missouri High School. She formerly trained with Dragon Gymnastics at Great American Gymnastic Express in Missouri with coaches Al and Armine Fong and gymnasts Courtney McCool and Sarah Shire. ==College career== She attended University of Alabama, a traditional power in women's collegiate gymnastics. In 2005, her freshman season, Humphrey helped her team to second place and won the NCAA Uneven Bars Individual National Championship. In mid-2006, Terin underwent surgery on both elbows, from which she is now fully recovered. She competed throughout the 2006-7 season. At the NCAA finals her team had a disaster, failing to qualify for the Super Six for the first time in over a decade, but Humphrey bounced back from this disappointment and once again took the uneven bars title. At NCAA Championships for 2007, Terin again won the NCAA Uneven Bars Individual National Championship. On March 18, 2008, Humphrey, who battled back problems during the 2008 season, announced her retirement from gymnastics.〔Rapoport, Ian R.
