July 28, 2022 Cleveland, OH - Since 1945 the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation (CCGF) has celebrated One World Day exemplifying the theme of the Gardens: "Peace through Mutual Understanding." A highlight is the Parade of Flags where hundreds of marchers from dozens of cultures march with flags and traditional clothing of their heritage. The Parade of Flags has grown into a large and colorful display of the numerous heritages represented in the Gardens and the broader Cleveland community. Olympic star Dominique Moceanu will be the Grand Marshal of the 2022 Parade of Flags. Dominique was part of the first U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team to ever win Olympic Gold in 1996. Her team broke barriers in the sport and inspired generations to come with its monumental Olympic victory for the US. Dominique remains the youngest Olympic gold medalist in U.S gymnastics history at the tender age of 14. She is also youngest Senior U.S. National All-Around Champion in history (age 13), nine-time U.S. National Team Member, as well as back-to-back junior and Senior All-Around National Champion (1994-1995). She is a World Championship silver and bronze medalist. In 1998, Dominique became the only American woman in history to win the Goodwill Games All-Around title. She's been inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame with her 1996 teammates. She authored a New York Times bestselling memoir titled Off Balance, which shared her story and shone a light on making the sport safer for future generations of athletes. Having long called for improvements and positive change in her sport, Dominique has become an advocate for young athletes - in an attempt to provide them with support and safety measures she herself never received. Dominique believes athletes can have a healthy experience, free from abuse and still be successful at the highest levels of their respective sports. She was called to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee to push for a system of mandates to protect child athletes from abuse. Dominique is also the proud business owner of the Dominique Moceanu Gymnastics Center in Medina, OH, where she practices what she has preached - offering a safe, supportive and enjoyable experience for the young athletes, where parents are welcome and there is even a yoga studio on site! Dominique is proud of her Romanian heritage and is eager to be part of the diversity of One World Day. The 76th One World Day in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens will be held on Sunday August 28, 2022 from 11 AM - 6PM throughout the Gardens on both East and MLK Boulevards.
