Hollie Vise (born December 6, 1987) is an American female gymnast. She is best rememberd for her gold medals at the 2003 World Championships in the team and uneven bars events, and also finished 2nd in the US National Championships the same year. Born in Dallas, Texas, Vise was not the only athlete in her family. Her brothers were into many different sports and Vise's mother was a gymnast herself. Vise started gymnastics at age three and advanced so quickly that she could not compete in level five, because she did not meet the age requirement of six. She moved to WOGA (World Olympic Gymnastics Academy) in Plano, Texas when she was seven years old. She skipped Level 10 and went straight on to be an elite gymnast. Vise now trains twice a day for a total of 36 hours a week. Although Vise did not make it to the Olympics, she continued to train and earned a full scholarship to University of Oklahoma. There she will compete NCAA, beginning in the 2006-7 season.

Hollie is known for her graceful style and extreme flexiblity. One of her signature skills on beam is her mount, where she jumps to a cheststand and then arches her legs over. This signature move is also performed on the floor exercise that Hollie rotates into a split. She is also known for doing a needle scale. These two poses are very photogenic and have contributed to Hollie's fame as a gymnast.
