It always amazes me how gymnasts can walk backwards into the corner of the mat and not go out of bounds.
They always seem to walk into the corner perfectly.

Always love how she smiles during the performance

[MMegaminx]

she's one of the few gymnasts who actually keeps her feet side by side while twisting, and not having them cross :)

It's funny how everyone says that Bratayley brought them here to Shawn's videos, but Shawn's vlogs were what made me discover Bratayley lol.

I don't follow gymnastics usually, so my first time seeing her was at the Olympics. Aside from her talent, the thing I loved most about her was her personality. She was always so perky and bubbly. She seemed like a genuine person even at just 16. I love that she helped Gabby Douglas too, even though she didn't get to compete at the last games.

It’s always so satisfying how she lands, in her floor, and in her 2008 gold medal balance beam. Their always solid and so succinct. So crazy she was like 16, and now she has a two kids! Congrats to her!

Shawn is one of my favorite gymnasts!! I love her and her gymnastics and I can’t believe this is over 15 years ago and now she’s a mom‼️

[ScorpionRegent]

She reminds me of Mary Lou Retton; built like a fire plug, with the energy and grace of a panther.

Shawn Johnson is such a FREAKING BOSSS!!!

[jchxxh]

I am obsessed with watching Shawn Johnson videos...she is just absolutely amazing and so powerful!!

[JCTiggs]

Her leg muscles are incredible. Years of training and hard work.

[paiges]

I love how perfectly she preformed the double twisting double back. She almost always stuck it and her knees were always locked together
