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.
Well, they do those routines over and over and over for years. Also most of them have been on the floor since they have memory so their spacial awareness inside of that square is probably an instinct by now
I know, I've gotten better about it now but when I was younger there was a part of my routine where I would kinda skip backward into the corner, I ALWAYS went out of bounds so my coach had to change it eventually 😂 they have some kinda sixth sense or something lol
It only counts as out of bounds if their foot goes all the way over the line, so they can step on the line a tiny bit just to feel where it is and they won’t get a deduction.
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!
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.
I agree! Love Simone, but no one really challenges her. Shawn always had to fight to the finish with Nastia, she wasn't able to have any room for error. Meanwhile Simone had that huge error on beam and still won worlds.
To this day i believe that had it been a different code of point she would have won , the ridiculous judging in bejing and the execution scores given were a complete joke , espcially when nastia woukd get a 7.7 start value on bars you think something is not right , shawn just had this bravery and and consistency that other did not have then , she did skills some woukd dream to do but she lost due to nastias bars , the underscoring to her and overscoring of others
@@kiersontitus7322 she was underscored on vault, bars and beam, if i recall, her bars in qualifications were worse an got a higher score than her AA one, her vault was heavily deducted more than it should, and beam was a much lower wcore than her AA one i believe, so she was underscored, but my main point was the problem with the code, had the code been more fair like it is now, nastias bars wouldnt give her a huge advantage and although nastia was amazing and did the routines of her life she wouldnt have won if the scoring and code were more fair
Omg Shawn Johnson is just so inspiring and she is just my idol! 💗 She can do any trick in the world and she will never ever give up! Shawn I love u 🥺💗❤️
I just came from Nadia Comaneci's perfect score floor routine and it's unbelievable how standards have changed! WE JUST KEEP GETTIN' BETTER YAAAASSSS HUMANS!!!
She has lived an absolutely incredible life such hard work and class. Always giving glory to God. I adore her and am happy to have my kids look up to her.
Sometimes, because it was long ago, I forget that she’d still the GOAT, at least to my mind. And my God the height on that lady tumbling element!!! ❤❤❤
I know that the 2012 Shawn will be so different from the 2008 Shawn. I can't help but feel a little nostalgia whenever I look back on the 2008 Olympics. She was so solid in her gymnastics and bubbly; she was the star of the year. She only competed senior for two years and I wish she got more time to win all of the medals she deserved. Shawn is the reason the Beijing Olympics were such a joy to watch.
"Shawn is the reason the Beijing Olympics were such a joy to watch." Uh, so record-breaking performances from Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt meant nothing to you?
i recently got the chance to meet shawn johnson and i was shocked to see that she could still do these skills 13 years and 2 kids later. this women is a true girlboss.
That period of 5 tumbling passes was so crazy hard . I cannot imagine ever doing that many passes in one routine . Wow. She is in incredible shape. Shawn Johnson will forward be one of the greatest to walk the planet.
Shawn is amazing ..she kicks ass on Nastia andshe deserves to b champion ....GO SHAWN ...YOU ROCK THE WHOLE GYMNASIUM ....usa top gymnast ....xx simply stunning man ...xx
+Jessica Allan yeah, Shawn said she wanted a change in her music, to bring a little more maturity to her routine, and when she saw the movie she liked it and used it. :)
I feel like Shawn and Simone has a similar style / energy like both serious and peppy but Simone is even more serious and even more peppy. Their style is very punctuated and their look a bit like a cheerleader. Laurie too. Laurie is a firecracker. Shawn jumps so high and fast. I love her intensity when she runs into a pass. She is so cute. Such such execution. And her leotard is like icing on the cake.

she's one of the few gymnasts who actually keeps her feet side by side while twisting, and not having them cross :)
how have you been, its been 12 years :)
Yeah how have u been 🍥

Cat Paws that’s because they have been doing it for like 10 years every day and there really used to the size of the floor

Mee too! Maybe it has a different texture, or it's less bouncy so they know it's there. Who knows!
It only counts as out of bounds if their foot goes all the way over the line, so they can step on the line a tiny bit just to feel where it is and they won’t get a deduction.
Always love how she smiles during the performance
Me too! It's one of the things I love to look at in gymnastics! I love who's they smile. I don't like when people act SUPEF serious! ☺️
Anna Vallejo that is why when I do my routine I put lots of emotion into it to be different!!
She is trained to smile duh
She's so pretty too. Go USA!
No she is not it is Simone biles
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.

She’s now much older and she’s married so she doesn’t do gymnastics anymore but I think she still practices with BRATALEY

so her smiling for judges is a personality to youu? fuck me
she is actually so cute 😂

She is! I love her! Always have!
She's adorable

Shawn's smile is everything ahhh ❤️ she stuck her first and last passages omg
Alyssa Tony passes not passages
Lol
In my opinion, she is the best gymnast of all time
mariah xo she had the whole package
yeah!
+mariah xo Simone Biles is better, but still shawn was a beast, definetly one of the best gymnast of all time
Simone is kind of better but at the time shawn was great

Shawn was so ahead of her time. I miss seeing her routines so much
She reminds me of Mary Lou Retton; built like a fire plug, with the energy and grace of a panther.
Shawn’s music: *is off*
Al: Good things are going to happen for her 😌🌞
I love how perfectly she preformed the double twisting double back. She almost always stuck it and her knees were always locked together
Shawn Johnson forward, backward, high and low. She is one of the greatest gymnast of all. 🤸♀️

well we've had a bit of help from sprung floors... but still insane improvements
The tumbling and acrobatic bit keeps geting better while the rest is dissapearing...
Cadence Silverlee not really, it's been downhill for a while.
Robyn Bremner But the general population is gettin fatter and less impressive

Shawn had the most consistent double double!!
Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?
How *PERFECT* was that opening pass? That landing thoughhhh.
She has lived an absolutely incredible life such hard work and class. Always giving glory to God. I adore her and am happy to have my kids look up to her.
I am obsessed with watching Shawn Johnson videos...she is just absolutely amazing and so powerful!!
Shawn is QUEEN of Artistic Gymnastics.

Her tumbling is amazing! Those sticks or near sticks are what make her a legend. And her music choices are flawless.
Shawn is just an amazing gymnast. Mother and and just all around peraon.

Has anyone noticed Alicia Sacramone saluting to the judges and scratching the uneven bars at 0:07? Lol

She was so young omg now she is a adult here she is like pre teen or teen it’s crazy

To think that she now has a husband and beautiful baby is unreal❤️
Amazing, amazing routine. She was my favorite gymnast at the 2008 Olympics. I'll miss her now that's she's retired.
Shawn's form is some of the best I've ever seen. Her legs are board straight and her feet stay glued together. And she jumps like a freaking bean!
My favorite
I miss her so much 😭
Shawn Johnson is iconic. What a outstanding floor routine. Wow.
Seeing this in 2020 during this pandemic makes all my memories come to life
