Carly Patterson discovered her talent for gymnastics in a rather unlikely setting—a birthday party. A coach at the gym where the party was held saw her and was amazed at her natural ability. She enrolled at Elite Gymnastics in Baton Rouge, where she spent the first five years of her gymnastics career. She earned the title of 1999 Louisiana Level 10 State Champion before moving to Texas.

In 2000, Patterson participated in the Top Gym Tournament in Belgium, where she won the silver medal in the all-around and placed third in the balance beam. She also participated in the 2001 Goodwill games in Australia, where she ranked second in the all-around before the final rotation. Her balance beam routine was impressive, and it was then that her signature double Arabian dismount was featured. Patterson placed fourth in the 2000 US Junior National All-Around, third in 2001, and was finally declared champion in 2002. She was then being considered for the 2004 Olympic All-Around title. She earned the all-around silver medal at the 2003 World Gymnastics Championships, making her the first American woman to win an all-around medal at the said competition since 1994. She also helped her team to earn the team gold medal. In the 2003 American Cup, Patterson was the youngest competitor and it was her first major senior competition. She won in the all-around yet again and in 2004, she won all four events, including the all-around.

In the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Patterson competed as an all-around athlete, finishing first overall, qualifying for the all-around and balance beam finals, where she ranked second. Patterson won the gold medal in the individual all-around. She also became the first American woman to ever win the Olympic All-Around title in a fully attended Olympic Games.
