I admire her professionalism. She doesn't act up when she makes a mistake or loses. She embraces competitors with a genuine smile and hug. And when she wins, she is humble, yet proud. Such an example. Thanks to Chow who showed her how to be a true champion.
I'm pretty sure Shawn Johnson will always be the "IT girl" for the gymnastics of our generation. She's just awesome all-round. Great personality and great gymnast. It's a shame that she had to retire. And I also love how Shawn got second all-round at the Olympics in 2008, but she got way more attention than Nastia Liuken. It's 'cause she's that awesome! #girlcrush
@@lvega5606 Shawn Johnson was nearly 15 years ago - clearly a different generation. No one is insulting Biles. You Biles stans have GOT to calm tf down- the hero worship is unhealthy, and the Biles stans are nearing Beyhive levels of crazy. Everyone knows she's amazing. Everyone knows she's the most accomplished and decorated. Other gymnasts work hard and perform well too. Complimenting one DOES NOT MEAN THAT BILES IS NOT GOOD TOO.
@@wedgeantilles4712 and you don't know any of them either. OP made a comment based on observation. Why be so petty? Why behave so childishly? The children in these comments act like they know everything about everything. Being a gymnastics fan is to enjoy watching these extraordinary women do what they do best. Its not a contest. Saying petty, rude things doesn't accomplish anything except to make you look rude, insecure, and petty. That's NOT a good look.

@hyejin p no, op didnt. Op expressed an opinion. Making it a competition would mean that op gave several names, then asked "who is best?" *That* would allow for a competition. Op named one person, their choice. One person can't compete against themself.
my heart broke for her last night in beijing in the all around. She is always so consistent, never falls, nastia always has errors but managed to pull it together when it counted. Unfortunately her body will probably not let her be this good in london. Doubtful she will stay around that long. WAY TO GO SHAWN, blocked from the top step by a historic night for nastia, the silver is as good as gold!
She did so good on these routines. Well what am I saying she always does good. :) I hope to meet her one day. I am her biggest fan! She is beautiful in every thing she does. She always has a bright smile. I LOVE SHAWN JOHNSON!!!'😄
Shawn Johnson has been my inspiration since I was small , we lost one of the worlds bestest gymnasts this nation could have , I hope Shawnee Johnson has a nice relaxing retirement and finds other fantastic things to do with her life x
You know she’s incredibly talented when after the third tumbling pass she almost steps out of bounds and without even looking down she shifts her feet along the out of bounds line for her dismount. Amazing.
i used to always watch this when i was young the way this video is made is so exciting, i dont get to watch competitions that are exciting like this anymore
she is so amazing! i wish i was her, i quit gymnastics when i was 6 but after watching her i really wanna go back! Shawn Johnson has inspired me a lot!!!!! Go Shawn Johnson!
every single time i look back at Shawn’s bar routine, it absolutely KILLS me how she was literally perfection in terms or cleanliness/execution (maybe not in terms of flexible type styled line as Nastia) and all she had to do was add more releases and extra stuff for bonuses and she would’ve surpassed soooooo many
Shawn my dear..you are an amazing athlete. and thank you for being such an inspiration to my daughter. she is a gymnast and wants to compete in the 2012 games and you are the reason.
I have never seen this video - great compilation of Shawn's events. I think if the Olympics had been in 2007 & not 2008 she would have walked away with at least 4 (all around, beam, vault & floor) if not 5 gold medals. I adore Shawn - she is a complete human being. I love her, Aly Raisman & now Suni Lee - admire the heck out of Simone of course & so many other greats both American & not American. Amazing people.
I did gymnastics for 5 and a half years but i quit i swear gymnastics you have to have in your life my favorite was bars and floor i really didnt beams i really loved it i still do I am a huge fan of Shawn Johnson I love her
Donny Williamson Yes! I'd much rather have Bart be NBC commentator than Tim. I also love Shannon Miller's commentating. You can hear her on the Olympic channel in the London 2012 videos :)
actually shes 17 now. she will be 18 in january. shawn really is an amazing talented gymnast. and shes a beautiful dancer, and im hoping she wins dancing with the stars :)
Kid, just not wasting your time is enough. Use it to grow as much as you can because now is the time so you don’t have the sensation you should have done something better in your teens. Believe me.
I admire her professionalism. She doesn't act up when she makes a mistake or loses. She embraces competitors with a genuine smile and hug. And when she wins, she is humble, yet proud. Such an example. Thanks to Chow who showed her how to be a true champion.
Now in 2019 she just become a mother. Congratulations to Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East.

Holly Olsson - turns out Simone Biles is the IT Gymnast of our generation. But all of the American girls are amazing.
@1 different generations of gymnasts.
@@lvega5606 they are still considered 2 different generations in gymnastics.

@@JennaLeigh I agree completely!! This comment was also from 7 years ago before Biles ever became famous.
Shawn Johnson and her husband have a TH-cam channel. They are incredibly adorable.
The East Family.
And a baby, Drew Hazel 💕
Yes they are adorable they make me want to laugh and cry and laugh some more. Love seeing their TH-cam channel.
@@audreyford6265 and expecting another baby in July.
oh yes💓💓 I love them from Poland from the bottom of my heart💕💞💪
I really like Shawn.. she is humble and nice. Not like other US gymnasts. I am very happy she won
Then you clearly don't know the others at all.

Omg I love how she opened up with those big tricks and caught herself on the last one. She's so amazing!
This is literally the *ONLY TIME EVER* that she wobbled on her beam series.
Actually no, she has failed on her beam series in 2012 (or 2013 I don't remember)
Rosalie Vct I think what they meant is to wobble not fall.
@@theosotto4612 ahh yes sorry :)
@@rosalienik317 2011 and she fell on it in the team final in 2007
2019 anyone? Wow Shawn is so talented, I miss her!!!
12 years later and this is in my recommended in 2019 lol
gotta looove that smile when she is walking towards her coach after the floor routine:)

"only 15"... She was 13 when I first saw her compete in 2005.
Wedge Antilles what are you saying? It’s normal to be 15 in 2007 if you were 13 in 2005...
Its kind if a big deal
@@hazelnutspred3348 oh no thats what i was saying! like omg shes only 15 that's crazy!! sorry if i came off the wrong way lolol
@@wedgeantilles4712 she is trying to say that being 15 accomishing what she did at that age was incredible.

I love that she smiles when she's proud :)

It would be terrific if they made a Gymnastics DVD and Blu-ray of Shawn Johnson doing gymnastics.
Shawn Johnson is:
The Best
Most Amazing
Most Talented
Gymnast I've ever seen !

Two words come to mind when I look at her. Mini and unbelievable!
She's always smiling !! :))
That's why she's my idol!
She must be a gift from God to her parents.
I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics. ― Shawn Johnson
