It's such a shame Shawn had to retire because of her knee. If you look at this you can see she would've gone far if it hadn't been for her knee. Compare this to day 1 and you already see the progress. She still had that confidence that I love so much about her on the beam.
Unfortunately the she was addicted to pills and starving herself at this time, she never would have succeeded, she would have imploded at some point. Sad what this sport does to so many of these amazing girls.
@Penelope Jane That wasn't a rumor, unfortunately. Shawn later spoke openly about how after 2008 and after doing DWTS in 2009, she started (naturally) gaining weight and it freaked her out. She said she was using ephedrine, Adderall, and other fad diets to try to boost her metabolism to get back into the same weight or shape she was in back when she was training full time. She has a video on her RUclips channel about it.
Wow. I think her leaps are better here than they were in 2008. Too bad her knee hindered her training. I would have loved to see her at another Olympics.
I absolutely love her double pike, unlike some gymnasts I never fear that she is going to under or over rotate and hit her head. It is so high and tight
That knee!! If not for that knee she could have trained harder and longer and been a 2x olympian. I loved our team, and wouldn't want to be the one to choose whose spot she would have taken. But she cpuld have! And she would have medaled
She has said herself that if not for that knee injury she wouldn’t have even gotten back into the gym to train. So if it weren’t for the knee she wouldn’t have been in this competition at all.
@@ZagarspupilShawn stated that it wasn't about the knee injury. it more about the body image and she thought by training and gymnastic again would bring her happiness. However, it didn't because she took pill to lose weight and it remind her about her disorder. She always talk about why it hard for her to keep the weight off. So I am glad that Shawn Johnson decided to retired just to find her true happiness. She doesn't need to prove to anyone anything. She already compete at Olympic and won gold on beam. The knee injury may play a part of story but there is always more then it meet the eyes.
Assuming she’d been back at her 2008 level I’d have taken her over Jordyn because Kyla was strong on bars and Shawn isn’t. Even if Shawn only got back her DTY it could have been Raisman/Douglas/Maroney on VT, Johnson/Ross/Douglas UB, Ross/Raisman/Johnson BB, Douglas/Johnson/Raisman FX.
Demetri Romano Zero chance she would have been chosen over Jordyn. Are you forgetting Jordyn’s Amanar & FX scores? Jordyn also did UB in TF. It would’ve been Kyla. A healthy Shawn’s scoring and medal potential on beam. Would have been worth it alone over Kyla’s sub 15 UB score and that’s not even factoring in a healthy Shawn’s FX.

Aahhhh, what a feeling when you see a routine with no wolf turns
They're so ugly.
You are missing the side salto too 😱🤢🤢🤮
@chanel kim I agree so much, hahaha. And I really like the half twist version of it

@@Jaycee1200_ why spread rumors like this?

The best U.S. beam worker ever.

Don't see another beam routine this jam packed besides Simone's. Shawn owns the beam event!

Never stop smiling shawn johnson
Every time I watch this video, I'm always so amazed at how her movements are so in sync with Mackenzie's floor music.
Her opening series was absolutely stunning
I honestly feel like her leaps were better here than in 2008

She thought find herself through would have helped but it didn't
The queen of beam ❤️❤️
iLovee Youu Shawn Johnson !! ♥
just watched chelsie's and Alicia's beam routines in this comp - amazing beam talent!
I wish that the media and public didn't break her down. She would have been an amazing addition to the 2012 Olympic team and won big.
She couldn't compete because of an knee injury
if only she hadn't injured her knee... she could've easily made the 2012 team. Most likely would have taken Kyla's place.
Cody Q Na Kyla was a stronger more consistent aa-er. I don’t even think Shawn came back and did the aa. You could use Kyla anywhere.
Assuming she’d been back at her 2008 level I’d have taken her over Jordyn because Kyla was strong on bars and Shawn isn’t. Even if Shawn only got back her DTY it could have been Raisman/Douglas/Maroney on VT, Johnson/Ross/Douglas UB, Ross/Raisman/Johnson BB, Douglas/Johnson/Raisman FX.

Cody Q it definitely would’ve been Maroney or Kyla left off the team. Jordyn was good all of 2012 and nobody knew she’d have that meltdown in quals.
Cody Q I totally agree
she was great comparated to the classic covergirl!!!!i'm glad she's back...hope see her in London!!!
...Shawn always on fleek...Go-o-o Girl...!
Beauty !
❤❤❤❤❤
To Me It rhymes with a perfect 10 :-)
WHY IS THIS ONLY A 14.700?????
Her start value is not that high I think it's a 5.7. But her execution is great. But if the start value not that high you can't get that high scores
CS K why was it only a 5.7? What connections did she not get credit for???
That tumbling pass is incredible
Tim Daggett has such a short memory sometimes... Shawn did the switch side leap in her night 1 beam routine also.
She’s a little firecracker!
Great!
music not mentioned
yessss!
Outstanding 💯!!!!
Its crazy if you think about it but no female gymnast that debut before 2010 was included in the 2012 olympic team.
Wow! Clever girl, how to work
What's the floor routine music in the background ??
Karolina Kowalik It’s McKenzie Caquattos Floor music
UNDERSCORED
y is it scored so low???
Paulina Tatum Cause dificilty is not that much
Makes it look so easy but it’s not lol
its not... well its not that difficult
Yes yes it was
I'm sick of elfie or whatever her name is saying check
