    Shawn Johnson injured skiing

    I actually found out on Twitter when she posted something about being on crutches at Disney. Poor thing. Skiing injures are nasty, as I've experienced. Anyone have any thoughts about her going to London in 2012? Here's the article: The Canadian Press: Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson...

    Happy!!

    Backstory: Almost three years ago I was in top physical shape, and performing at the top of my category on floor and beam (I was terrified of vault. long story). However, a bad landing on the track bent my knee in a painful way, a way I wouldn't ever want to see, and my career ended. I've been...

    Off Topic Flat Tire...

    I was on my way home from the gym today when I noticed my car was pulling really hard to the right. I just thought I needed an alignment since I had hit a pothole in the road a few days before, but when I pulled into my driveway, my front passenger side tire was completely flat! Fortunately...

    Parents Pushy Parents

Instead of just trying to bail and land on her back, she threw her arm down to catch herself and dislocated her elbow. What a mess this was. So coach got her off the floor...

    Shawn Johnson on Dancing With the Star

    I saw on ABC last night that Shawn Johnson will be on Dancing with the Stars next season. I'm excited to see how she does. What do you think? Will her gym experience help or hurt her? She's super short and I think it might hinder her dancing with the pro because they're all pretty tall.

    and coaches, concerning taping

    I was a competitive dancer for many years and was told by an instructor who also judged some of our comps that we'd get points taken off our score for having something like tape or a brace. The reason I had to stop gym was because of a knee and ankle injury that left my leg basically useless...

    Hey there

    I'm Sarah. I'm 20, so I don't really know where I fit in. I did recreational gym for about 7 years, but after I tore my MCL in my right knee, I was pulled out by my parents. I have been dancing since I was 3, and still am. I teach pre-dance classes, and assist our coach with an afterschool...
