Shawn Johnson - balance beam (Olympic Trials)

[equistera]

the 8 people that dislike this can't do half the stuff that she can...they're just jealous

[cj222100]

I can clearly remember at the olympics when she kept getting underscored, the commentator said something along the lines of he was starting to think that there was something about her look that the international judges didn't like. Wonder if that was true?

[Sweetcleopatraa]

I like her although she is not flexible. She is unique.

[julieM1996]

She has to be an undercover Asian.

[xxSirVanessxx]

She's so inspirational to me. (:

[howrse26]

The first tumbling sequence is amazing!

[rockinsox723]

How old was she?

[Pixies7732]

@rockinsox723 She was 16.

[kaykaya769]

that routine was very similar to the one she had when she was 13. 

[ConcreteAngelx3]

woah. barely a wobble!... she's amazing

[xxrawrrnstuffxx]

Didn't she do the same routine at the 2008 Visa championships or whatever?

[kras118]

@xxrawrrnstuffxx yep- and also at the Olympics. Nationals [aka Visa championships] and Trials were only a few weeks apart, and the Olympics were soon after.

[TogetherAs2]

I had always watched the Olympics but only when she was on I would sit on the couch for hours watching her someone else would come and I would get board!

[hhsmalecheer01]

Can We Say "Queen of The Beam!"

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@hhsmalecheer01 No, we can't. Yang Bo is.

[chipchang1]

amazing

[17babydolljo]

She is amazing!! She has soooo much talent!!!

[gravyboatK]

She has GLUE on her feet!

[MeggiieeeMooX]

@gravyboatK Its not glue , I think its some sort of stuff that you put on your hands and feet so that they arnt slippery :)

[xoxPatriots83ily]

@gravyboatK It's called chalk. It helps keep gymnast's from slipping. They use it on every apparatus...I'm guessing you don't know very much about gymnastics.

[bunbacheso]

@xoxPatriots83ily I think gravyboatK was being figurative. As in, she sticks her landings so well, it's as if her feet were glued.

[wafflelover4998]

@gravyboatK its called chalk why would it be glue?

[shauna281]

she is my favorite gymnast! she really tells a message for being that freat at that age! she shows that she has an amazing goal an she always goes for it. she is sooo unbelievably amazing! (:

[thejadedancer24]

She is awesome! Keep up the awesome work, Shawn!

[icygoddess9]

Olga Korbut - 1976 Olympic Balance Beam. No talk here.

[icygoddess9]

Why do we have to listen to these reporters? Can't we just watch the show? Listen and watch the 1972 performance by Ogla Corbut. no stupid talk.

[Blueskiesarecomingg]

she's AMAZING! <3

[Lurunia]

a.m.a.z.i.n.g!

[MsFavorited]

that was intense the whole time!

[starbucksmochafrap]

i love how her legs are not so long and noodley like nastia liukin.

[chinghxd]

@starbucksmochafrap i agree! whilst some people might say shawn doesn't have the extension that nastia has. i say that shawn's body and power make her look so much stronger on the flips and the landings. so powerful! yet she has those little artistic bits in her routine.

[xoxPatriots83ily]

@starbucksmochafrap Agreed...Nastia's legs kinda creep me out lol

[edwinawilliams1]

good

[edwinawilliams1]

good :)

[edwinawilliams1]

you are really really good im in gymnastics to.... :)

[tracyx11]

wow!! she is soo perfect!! i love it wen she does all her landings and dismounts perfectly and so strongly if thats a word lol :)

[MsGymnastix]

[BethG996]

[villi197417]

Молодец девчонка!

[SuperSoup99]

I love you Shawn and you are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have rock solid landings and no wonder you made it to the Olympics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you and keep up the good work and I hope I get to meet you in real life!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brocklyn420]

So if she was 16 in this video that means she is legal now. Damn Id love to be her balance beam

[preet2599]

her full twist is perfect

[Mileyfanxo2]

holy shit her legs are so muscular!

[48484287]

Shawn is my hero. During the olympics I was inspired by her to do better in my gymnastics. Now I am trying to go to nationals Next year!

[ThLyonsZ]

That Was Unreal :0 x

[GEErardwayy]

Shawn really was at her peak during he 2008 Olympics. So so steady and determined!

[jazzgirl15]

I want to start gym. i went to one when i was 10 and i am now 13. it wasn't a very good one. does anyone know a better gymnasiam. I live in england btw

[giggie600]

@jazzgirl15 Brackenbury in suffolk is a great gym!

[4FabBEATLES]

[143gymnastics]

i love everything about this video. ha , balance , no wobbles, and her jumps are great. split jump , pike jump, and back tuck :)

[hhaannaahhm7]

this is me in the future:) i can see it now!!

[marlena0217]

[XxXraeleyxXx1]

How old do you have to be to start gymnastics, i am 13 and want to start, is that too late?

[marlena0217]

@XxXraeleyxXx1 never too late!

[MacNCheeses]

@XxXraeleyxXx1 no way i started when i was 13 and now i have my backhandspring if your hearts in it ull be suprised how far u can go btw im 14 now so its only been a year

[RedTailedTuna]

I couldn't even jump up on that beam

[MissKayla142]

her connections are PERFECT in this routine..i love her!!

[lolandlolandlol1]

@paraiah

Totally agree with you!

[merebear97]

i am a gymnast and shawn johnson has always been my idol ever since she first became big.. i am a level nine gymnast working 10 and i want to be just like her.. beam is my fav event

[erin6697]

i love the sounds the beam makes when u stick a tumbling pass :)

[fasinantee]

@USIProductions Thanks, I wanted to compare her height to mine, I'm 5'2

[fasinantee]

how tall is she?

[LMA629]

crazy good. just absolutely crazy...

[Allessaria]

OMGoodness her arms!!! 0_0

[skatefreakSAB]

she's the best

[nicki446]

Her landings are absolutely spot on. After every single tumble. Especially that standing full - unbelievable. She's so strong and powerful, yet graceful as well. A very talented gymnast.

[gymnasticsblastomg]

LOVE HER!!

Please subscribe to my channel!! love you shawn johnson and you!!:) :D

[OtterAquafina]

Shawn is my favorite gymnast to watch on the beam! I however, like watching Nastia too on the beam. I will have to say that I think Carly set the stage for U.S. Beam gymnastics, and both shawn and nastia just reset the stage! Those summersaults on the damn beam before the dismount were amazing. I think if Shawn would of stuck her landings on the dismounts more in 08 she would of won the all around, but just know that I have nothing against Nastia!!!! Nastia and Shawn are too hard to compare!

[mrkendallmarshall]

she doesnt even wobble!

[Holycani]

Has scoring gotten harder or have the gymnast gotten worse? lol I mean if Shawn Johnson did the same routine at the 2010 championship what would she have scored?

[mrkendallmarshall]

@Holycani I think it's a little of both actually

[BlahBlah183]

@Holycani They now count fewer elements towards their over all difficulty score, so their difficulty scores are much lower now. But yeah shawn is just so confident in her landings, so was nastia and chellsie.

[mlmj1994]

The was freakin' amazing!

[courtneysk8s]

I love Shawn on beam! She and Deng LinLin are my favorite beamers, they are both so solid!

[taybabe8597]

wow. u r just so amazing. i really dont understand how u could do a standing full on the beam. i can barley do a cartwheel. :/ but anyway, u r a truly amazing gymnast. (:

[sammiexx35]

i loveeee this girl. she is sooo inspiring

[crazyriderfan]

She's so amazing !!!!!!

[sarah1996september]

That is the most consistent bar routine i have ever seen, in my life :)

[gymjarvis]

I love her so much! She is so amazing! I've watched her so much I've practically memerized her beam routine :))

[ParagonalForce]

She is hot : )

[mealovegymnastics]

@ParagonalForce because im a girl



[Eeecl23]

why was she taking off tape after her beam routine????

[kelliapeck]

how old is she

[Lauren0H]

i have to admit shawn johnson is one of the best gymnast.

[Lauren0H]

i have to admit shawn Johnson is one of the best gymnast.

[IseCastles]

wow...that was amazing



[gymnastluvhorses55]

luv her mount. she makes it seem so easy but really when you think about it, its not. you need to jump with enough power to get you 4 feet into the air but not to much power that you miss the beam. then you have to land on a 4 in wide surface and make it all look like a walk in the park. shawn is my favorate gymnast!!!

[Cavsfan12908]

i vote olympics give them smaller outfits :)

[00IssaaBeeL00]

WooWW,, is beatifuull!!!,,,i love shawn johnson

[VulturulNegru93]

WHAT? that was solid! that had no mistake in it except for the step at the landing! great beam!

[PommeDidi]

Quest-ce que je L'aime SHAWN J0HNS0N ( / ) en plus, sa routine est Fabuleuse !

Gros Besoux.<3

[TheOwlcitylover101]

[icantpirrouette13]

she really is the best.

[steve99991]

wow... her legs are amazing

[49natyluvscake94]

[missmads27]

she's so good, I just love her :D

[MegaGymnast4life]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. i love her shes my favorite gymnast! <3 :)

[gymnastics4eva369]

she is my idol! I do gymnastics and hope to someday be like her! I probably wont be as good... but WOW! Amazing performance

[TumbleLu23]

one of the best beam routines i've seen her do! very smooth!!

[x3lalalaa]

mrsTorrard88 & garyj79 jealous :D.

shawn johnson is amazing!

i love her!

[amelliarox1999]

shes pretty awesome...!!!

[LisaGymnasticqueen]

Oh my god!!

thats fantastic!!

Shawn is very very good!!

*____*

[VIVISAURishTEHshizz]

She is pure Perfection. :D

[g8rgirl101]

She is so amazing. I was at the swiming olympic trials (my cousin was in them) but now I want to go to the gymnastics ones to!!

[shannonshan628]

nice shawn but the tiny step on the dismonte.

[comanecisalto1]

elfi schlegel pisses me off so much

[gymcraze212]

now that is what you call sticking your landing.

[AmericanGirlOlympics]

I get the gold medal in my beam routine but I'm not near her level!!!!! I'm still working in level five!!! Her standing full and her double back with a full twist is amazing~

[lostlyrarose]

that was better than even her olympic beam routines. she's so consistent though that even her step on the dismount always looks the same.

[Jazzyshawty]

daMNNNNnnnnn this girl stuck every landing on the beam...she's great!!!

[ahrensgay]

I believe this "new and improved " scoring system is an affront to the great Nadia Comaneci.10.00 is a perfect score.What is this 16.25 crap? What, are they trying to accomplish here? To obliterate Nadia's memory, and her gift to the gymnastic's world, THE perfect 10.00?

[lostlyrarose]

I do miss the idea of a 10.0. but I think they did it because the scoring was becoming unfair. great difficulty wasn't rewarded all the time, and countries would cheat the points. think of 97 beam finals where china's girl should have won, but instead of a mediocre routine by gogean won.

[andreak1013]

I think they've gone too far the OTHER way now, and there's too much emphasis on difficulty as opposed to execution. I'm a stickler for a beautifully executed routine. Cheng Fei getting a bronze on vault after falling? I may never get over it.

[lostlyrarose]

first of all, totally agree on the cheng fei vault... especially since unlike the other 3 events, vault is the landing... the whole point of a vault is the landing. I don't mind separate execution scores, but they are so hard on the technical side. nastia luikin's vault in the olympic all around was I think a 9.5 or 9.4... where was .5 deduction on a stuck vault, legs straight and together, laid out form in the air? same thing with her beam.

[GymnasticsISlife96]

@andreak1013 now it's a lot better. But all the scores are lower since the difficulty scores have gone down. It just doesn't seem as magnificent :(

[aTruthWrappedInLies]

@ahrensgay Not at all. There are "A" scores and "B" scores. The A score is the difficulty level and the B score involves the perfect 10 aspect. You get your difficulty score combined with your score on 10 for perfection. Now the perfect score would be your difficulty combined with your perfection.

Under the old system, techinically if you managed to qualify then got injured and performed an extremely simple routine flawlessly, you could score higher than someone with a difficult routine.

[Lisybabes2009]

you were AWESOME did u make it into the olympiccs??? if u did well done u deserve it.

[xosugarrrxo]

are you talking about shawn? cuz yeah, she did. and she won the gold medal for the balance beam. i think. but she was in the olympics and won gold in something.

[afnanp]

yeah she did she got gold metal on the beam

[liabess]

she is sooo amazing

[missymollymoomoo]

0:53 I can do but she is amazing because she can do way more!!!:D
