Shawn Johnson

[GymKim93]

My favorite gymnast is Shawn Johnson! She is amazingly perfect on everything! She sticks every landing and she is always smiling. Shawn is perfect!! What does everyone else think of her?

Absolutely one of my favorites. Exceptional gymnast who is was very visibly a big step ahead of anybody else in the Visa Championships.

LOVE SHAWN JOHNSON!!! Barring injury, Shawn is a lock for Beijing! How exciting for both her and her coach who was once a member of the Chinese National team, to be able to make it this far.

Good luck tomorrow to Shawn, Ivana, Sam, Alicia, Shayla & Nastia (and bridget too, if she competes) at Worlds! Too bad NBC won't air it until Oct 7th

I love her! Did anyone catch how her beam routine is almost all two-footers. No step-outs! BHS(2 feet)-BHS(2 feet)-layout(2 feet) That's incredible. I love the full turn w/leg at horizontal. I'm putting one in my floor routine, right into a split jump 1/2 turn!

Her beam routine is amazing! You almost forget she is actually on a beam.

She is so good! I totally agree with Audra...she is so graceful and she looks like she is on the floor. You can tell she is having a blast but she is totally focused as well. She is so fun to watch!!

Yes, she has now become my daughter's favorite gymnast. It was Carly Patterson forever but forget that. My dd keeps saying she wants to be Shawn Johnson when she grows up! Shawn appears to be a very confindent young lady. I'm so happy for her. She truly deserves it. Also, we're going to see the Olympic Trials in Philadelphia next June. My dd is beside her self to think that she's going to see her in person!

That is so cool! Carly Patterson was my favorite too! Two friens of mine and our Mom's went to the Olympic Trials in 2004 I believe it was. We got our seats moved up when we got there so we were 4 rows up from the beam and Carly was right there! We were like OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO COOL! When we saw the men Morgan Hamm got done with his high bar routine and stripped down to his underwear and you see Paul say, "What are you doing?" and he was like I'm hot...I will never forgetr that it was so fun!

Shawn is AMAZING. But does anyone else not think her story is just too pefect? You know, the way she's had no injuries or really horrible performances, I think I'm just waiting for something bad to happen! Hopefully she'll stay fit though!
