Career
Chellsie Marie Memmel was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, to Andy and Jeanelle Memmel. Both of her parents were gymnastics instructors, and they encouraged her to participate in the gym and taught her basic skills. She began training with Jim Chudy at Salto Gymnastics when she was eight years old.
In 2000, she began competing at the junior elite level.
Memmel became a world elite gymnast in 2003. She came third at the National Podium Meet and the American Classic, and she was accepted to compete in the Pacific Challenge, a three-country tournament with Canada and Australia. She was crowned all-around at the tournament.
Memmel was recovering from a hamstring injury that had limited her workout time at the 2003 U.S. National Championships. She made mistakes with her floor exercise routine and finished tenth in the all-around. She was accepted to compete in the Pan American Games at a national team selection camp a few weeks later, but not at the World Championships.
At the Pan American Games, she earned four medals, including gold in the all-around and in the uneven bars. The gymnasts selected for the World Championships team were plagued with injuries and illnesses during this period: Annia Hatch tore her ACL, Ashley Postell had the flu, and Courtney Kudzu strained her Achilles tendon. Memmel, Samantha Sheehan and Terin Humphrey, and National Team Coordinator Márta Károlyi chose Memmel and Humphrey to compete in the World Championships, as well as Samantha Sheehan and Terin Humphrey. Memmel travelled from the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo directly to the World Championships in Anaheim, California.
Memmel led the American team in the preliminary round at Worlds, qualifying to the all-around final in second place and first among her teammates. She was the first American to compete in any sport, and she had the highest all-around ranking in the team finals. Despite competing with just five gymnasts rather than six, the United States ranked ranked on top, winning the country's first team gold medal at the World Championships.
Memmel reached the event finals tied for the uneven bars, tying with teammate Hollie Vise.
Memmel placed third in the American Cup in 2004, behind U.S. teammates Carly Patterson and Courtney McCool. She broke a metatarsal bone in her foot while training a piked Barani on balance beam, but she was unable to participate in the National Championships or the Olympic Trials.
She pleaded for a chance to compete in the Olympic team selection camp and was eventually selected as an alternate to the United States team in the 2004 Olympics.
Memmel received the uneven bars title at the 2004 World Cup Final later this year.
Memmel's 2005 season was the start of the American Cup, although the American Cup did not have an all-around competition that year. She won the uneven bars championship and finished third on beam.
She came in second place in the all-around at the National Championships and took the silver medal in the all-around competition, behind Nastia Liukin. She was selected to the United States squad for the Pan American Championships, winning the all-around title and individual gold medals on beams and bars.
Memmel, Liukin, Alicia Sacramone, and Jana Bieger were among the 2005 World Championships team members, along with Liukin, Alicia Sacramone, and Jana Bieger. She took the all-around title over Liukin at Worlds by 0.001 over Liukin. This made her the third American woman and the first since 1994 to win the all-around at the World Championships. She has also won silver medals in balance beam and uneven bars.
Memmel turned pro after her triumph at the 2005 Worlds, giving up her NCAA eligibility.
Memmel began competing with Liukin in the all-around at the Pacific Alliance Championships in 2006. She injured her shoulder while preparing for a bail at the sport and therefore decided not to attend the United States Classic. She returned to the National Championships two weeks later for a watered-down regimen, finishing fourth in the all-around.
Memmel placed first in the all-around finals and also advanced to the uneven bars and floor event finals at the World Championships. She aggravated her shoulder injury on her bail, rebounded her shoulder pain on her release, and faltered on the balance beam when she landed a front tuck with one foot completely off the beam. She was disqualified from the all-around and event finals because of her illness.
When the National Championships were held in August 2007, Memmel was still recovering from her shoulder injury. On the first day of the competition, she competed only on floor exercises, and she did not qualify for the 2007 World Championships.
She made her all-around return to the Good Luck Beijing International Invitational, a test meet for the 2008 Olympic Games, in which the gymnasts competed in the same arena and on the same equipment that would be used at the Olympics. Memmel came in fifth in the all-around and third on beam, where she showcased her latest skills, from a front aerial to a prone mount. She did not qualify for the uneven bars final.
Memmel earned the gold medal on floor exercise and the silver on balance beam after the Beijing test event.
Memmel finished third in the National Championships in June 2008, behind Liukin and Shawn Johnson. She competed in a new, upgraded floor routine that included the Dos Santos technique, which she had competed in previous years.
On the second night of competition, she earned a standing ovation for her floor routine and was invited to the Olympic team selection camp in New Waverly, Texas, where she appeared well on bars and beam. Despite receiving her whiplash and having to stop in the middle of her floor routine, she competed on beam later the same day. She landed a double-twisting Yurchenko vault on the final day of the selection camp for the first time since 2006. She was selected for the Olympic team alongside Johnson, Liukin, Samantha Peszek, Sacramone, and Bridget Sloan.
Memmel sustained a minor ankle injury during training in Beijing and would not participate in the uneven bars, according to USA Gymnastics on August 3, 2008. She was disqualified in the preliminary round but maintained a good routine in the team finals. Later, it was revealed that she had suffered with a broken ankle, which was a more serious injury than had been predicted.
Memmel returned to action at the United States Classic in Chicago on July 23, 2011, where she took home the silver medal in the all-around with a score of 56.95. She came in third on floor (13.65) and fifth on balance beam (14.7), and tied for fifth on vault (14.2).
Memmel earned the silver medal on balance beam at the National Championships in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in August. She finished on beam in third place all-around (57.35), with a first-place finish on beam (15.25). On night two, she finished eighth in the all-around (109.85) after she dislocated her shoulder during her bars workout and did not complete the routine.
She participated in two Worlds selection camps at the Karolyi Ranch in 2003, but rather than the World Championships team, she was appointed to the Pan American Games team. She resigned from the Pan American Games team later this year to focus on strengthening her injured shoulder. She underwent surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon near her right shoulder right away after returning from the second selection camp.
Memmel underwent second surgery on her shoulder in February and resurfaced training shortly thereafter in the hopes of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic team. At the United States Classic, she only competed on balance beam, scoring an 11.95 points. The selection committee denied her request to compete at the National Championships.
Memmel announced her then-retirement from gymnastics on November 14, 2012.
Memmel began more structured training in April 2020 after posting a video on social media of herself performing her double pike beam dismount with a note that "the seed has been planted," Memmel said.
In May, Memmel made her elite competition comeback at the 2021 U.S. Classic. Memmel also competed on the vault, scoring 13.750 points, and the balance beam, scoring an 11.800. This was Memmel's first competition in nine years. Memmel revealed in August that she would be joining Simone Biles' Gold Over America Tour.
