  • She has muscles on her muscles! That's incredible x

  • Did she win gold??? because i watched each section bars, beam, and floor, and she was flawess...

  • Isnt Shawn and Nastia on the same team ?

    

  • I have never seen anyone get a 16.000 like shawn did. i knew it was possible but shawn can just give that umph and power on that beam! (:

  • I saw this video 39 times hahaha she is just amazing...i love it!

  • would this be an example of a routine where her d score is only 6.9 because her leg isnt at a horizontal the entire time shes performing her full spin?

  • if shhe had nastia liukin's flexabillity she would be undefetable

  • I love her!!

  • she is just perfect ..

  • she is an amzing gymnast i hope to be like her one day

  • shes my idol like i mean legit i look up her videos everyday i go on my computer!

  • Well the bonehead comment from Tim Daggett about  not enough flexibility is just WRONG. And why is he the first to comment on the women's events?

  • Te admiro Shawn Johnson :) es la mejor

  • What was her score?

  • The grace of her mount alone was exquisite.

  • Awhile back the first time I saw her beam routine particularly in this video, my jaw dropped. I'm in Gymnastics too, but I have NEVER in my life seen a Gymnast like her. In my opinion, she's the best gymnast the world has ever seen. GO SHAWN!(:

  • Other that that step on her landing, everything was absolutely perfect!!! WOW! Shawn will always be my favourite! Really hope she'll be in good shape for the Olympics!

  • She landed eveeerything! That is truely amazing! I love her! <3

  • Im ur #1 fan Shawn(: <3

  • What's the scoring out of?

  • Shawn is amazing, i dont like it when commentators act stupid and compare shawn and natsia. they are both beautiful in their own style of gymnastics, now shut up and let me enjoy the wonderful routine! :)

  • I <3 Shawn!

  • I'm not sure why but I've always enjoyed watching Shawn's dance elements more than Nastia, don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful gymnast and dancer. But Shawn just looks more natural, and her landings are a lot softer. I've always looked at Nastia and saw someone who tries to hard to be a ballerina. Shawn doesn't have to, She knows she's not a ballerina she's knows that she's Shawn Johnson, the gymnast!

  • @VeryStrangechild Really? Shawn's dance elements have always looked alot more forced than Nastia's IMO. Nastia makes it looks effortless.

  • She has a great control of her body!

  • The only reason Shawn and Nastia are compared is because they were the top 2 gymnasts in the US.

  • Ha! Tim got burned at 1:06

  • i cant do that.. on a tranpoline.

  • wow! just amazing, she has so much strength and power

  • Human nature >> they love to compare dont they??

  • wat was her score

  • so amazing!!!

  • oh my god!!! amazing

  • shawns runs are amazing, but she isn't very artisitc. iknow not to compare, but her and nastia ARE very different

  • Why is there so much commenting after the comparison. He was comparing STYLES not TALENT. They are both very talented... But people are always going to go for only one. I prefer Shawn but that doesn't mean I don't like Nastia Lukin.:)

  • i love her. she is my ideal. :D

  • I love Shawn. She is strong, muscular, and knows what shes doing.

  • starbucksmochafrap well no offense but it's 4 inches I'm pretty sure.

  • how old is she?

  • I really don't think it's right to compare Nastia and Shawn...they both have their events that they're strongest in...but, get real..they're in the olympics...they're both awesome at everything...if they weren't...they wouldn't be there...Just saying.

  • I can't even do this stuff on the ground, but she can do it on a 6 inch wide beam! WOW!

  • @starbucksmochafrap its 4 inches... duh

  • Shawn is a power gymnast and Nastia is a artistic gymnast. You can't compare them because there both so different . You can't say that one is better ,they both are amazing gymnasts. Nastia is 5' 4 and her height is the reason for being an artistic gymnast yet she does it so perfectly. Shawn is 4' 9 she's small and can control / flip her body around easier and she does it so well she makes it look look like you can do it in your sleep . Stop comparing these incredible gymnasts and see them for t

  • Shes got huge thigh muscles

  • Nastia and Shawn are both crazy talented and it isn't right to compare them as their styles are different. Both are in leagues of their own when it comes to competing in gymnastics.

  • Does anybody notice that her legs are pretty much bigger then the rest of her body??

    

  • she's better than nastia because she's more powerfuuuul :) xd

  • My God, on EVERY single video there is a comparison about Shawn and Nastia... It's just ridiculous! Both are increadible, strong and clean gymnastics.

    None of them deserve to be compared. It's unfair and unprofessional!

  • @mcabizuca i love shwan jhon

  • @mcabizuca They also have deferent styles. Nastia is more graceful and Shawn is ... idk how to say it, I guess riskier? Shed just plunges into her moves and throws force. Note how the bar sounds when she lands and how other gymnasts land when are bar. They try to be silent but she doesnt.

  • @mcabizuca I don't see why they can't be compared. All Tim was saying is that they are two different gymnasts; Shawn is more power and Nastia more artistic. They were the top two U.S gymnasts in 2008...of course they would be compared.

  • It would be physically impossible for Nastia to do Shawn's vault, just like it would be physically impossible for Shawn to do Nastia's uneven bars routine.

    Nastia would break herself trying to do Shawn's power tumbling on floor, but there's no way in hell Shawn could do Nastia's dance/jump bonus combos. Each would look totally ridiculous trying to do the other's choreography.

    You can't compare them. It's apples and oranges.

  • @ASPaez1965 Little Komova can do Shawns vault and she has the same structure as Nastia. I just believe that gymnast these days just stick to what they are good at and never really try to do new things or expand their skill sets like they did in the past. I agree that Nastia Doing Shawn choreo would look bad but thats because Shawn doing it looks bad too.

  • @ASPaez1965 You posted this identical comment on another video I just viewed, which probably means that there's more than just the two I have seen. Why? It seems kind of strange. Are you on some kind of crusade to spread this message, or do you just like attention and think that you are so smart that you are the only one who can "teach" all of us? Everyone's going to have their opinions, right or wrong. Most of them are kids so they will grow up eventually.

  • @ASPaez1965 agreed totally, both are incredible gymnasts. shawn is the great power gymnast, not needing as much flexibility, and nastia is the more artistic gymnast, with more leaps and dance elements, not needing the power moves, yet both athletes get similar scores

  • @ASPaez1965 well mostly right...I agree with 90 percent of it...smaller weaker gymnast are throwing up the amanar vault than Nastia...and Memmel who is similar to Shawn could never do an Amanar so I wouldn't say its impossible. But no need to compare them like you said.

  • Flawless! So clean and precise

  • what id the maximum score?

  • @boeing787thebest theres no maximum score anymore. it used to be out of ten, now it's just according to the tricks, combos, and execution. these numbers are added up to come to a score

  • Shawn is INCREDIBLE!!!

  • awesome routine!

  • how the hell can u dislike this routine shes the godess of the beam i love her and nasta xx

  • love her leo and hair and she's sooooo amazing!

  • she's pretty and all , but i think she needs more grace , it's not graceful and flowing for me.

  • @StormGlow93 16.000 huge!

  • What score did she get??

    Personally overall I prefer Nastia as a gymnast because I think she brings power flexibility and grace however Shaun is by far the most powerful and is absolutely perfect on Beam

  • I prefer nastia liunkin, she is more feminine!

  • @MariPardo1 by feminine you mean skinnier, taller and less muscley?...fair enough, but you shouldn't look down on someone just because they're strong and they're not the stereotypical stick that people like to see these days.

  • That has to be one of the most perfect beam routines I have everrrr seen in my life!

  • Wow, That is so fantastic... I don't know what else to say as a novice gymnyst myself who can barely land one handspring without falling straight off. Wow.

  • @thegymmaster, she is perfect and her toes were pointed!!! Idk what u were looking at but I was looking at a beautiful beam routine!

  • @marykay116 i can nit pick at shawns routine all i want. im not saying shawn is a bad gymnast, im just saying that she has flaws just like every other gymnast. i personally prefer gymnasts to have pointed toes.

  • she is AMAZING

  • Is Shawn from U.S.A.?

  • @mirandasings08rocks that question wasnt serious was it?

  • pause at :53 how can anyone say she doesn't hit her split jumps?

  • how young is she?!!!!!

  • the only mistake was the dismount!

  • strong legs!!

  • this girl is insane i wish i was shawn johnson hahaa

  • she is a beast at standing tumbilng. the fact that she does it all on a 4 inch beam makes it 100 times better.

  • y do ppl ALWAYS assume that if some one dislikes a shawn johnson vid thats its a Liukin fan???!!!! not sayin that i dont like her! i love Nastia but i love Shawn too! (:

  • i want to be just like her !(btw iam am also a gymnast n_n

  • There shouldent be a LIKe button.. it should be a love it button !!!

    

  • no one in the world does that first tumbling run like she does...still to this day!

  • how old is she!!

  • why does everyone hate on her? she's so consistent.

  • damn......

  • i cant believe that she can stick all of those tricks so solidly without any wobbles! she is amazing.(:

  • I like Shawn more than Nastia just because I like power gymnasts. But they're both amazing and fun to watch. I think Shawn in better at beam and floor just because of the level of difficulty. But no doubt Nastia is amazing at bars. But still I like Shawn the best.

  • her landings is awsome! ;O

  • shes amazing !!(:

  • I am proud to say I am from Iowa, too :3

  • the 3 dislikes, u guys r just jealous, i would like 2 see u do a backflip or a layout layout on a piece of wood. i bet u cant even stand on a beam

  • god, she makes the layout look so easy!

  • WOW nice full! That was sooooo good...love you Shawn!

  • i do gymnastics but i will never be as good as shawn<3

  • @immagleek4evah probably not, no.

  • WOw, she is sooo  awesome!

  • just because u say that you dont like it dont mean that you dont like the girl ! cus the routie was ok to me bt im stil a nastia luikin fan 4eva and if any one disagree with me feel free to respond (:

  • @dessispeller7 lol "the routine was "ok""....you think it was "ok". she had a G-level dismount and did elements that nastia wouldn't dream/couldn't do and you think it was "ok". not saying you're not entitled to your own opinion; you can love nastia all you want but i think you should acknowledge an amazing routine when you see it.

  • @chinghxd

    The thing is, Shawn John is so messy that she could never dream of performing skills as well as Nastia. Also, her G level dismount is horrible chucked; it's like, not even a proper full in. She lands her full low, and her "leaps" are majorly cheated and she still can't hit 180. Girl has NO basics.

  • @FlicTuckFull One last thing, you shouldn't even be comparing them b/c they are so different. Shawn is complete power b/c that's how her body is built. She's built to be muscular and powerful. Nastia is complete grace b/c that's how her body is built. She doesn't have the muscle to do the power skills. I much prefer a power gymnast like Shawn, they're more interesting to me. You obviously prefer grace like Nastia. But don't criticize one girl b/c you don't like her style. That's not fair.

  • @FlicTuckFull not gonna bother properly replying to this. she's the only one there capable of doing that dismount. clearly you don't understand it's difficulty. just take a look at @xoxPatriots83ily's reply....and honestly; your response doesn't show a person who understands gymnastics. just a very dogmatic, stubborn person.

  • @FlicTuckFull how could you say that??? i think her routing is so sharp............. nastia is elegant..... shawn is powerful...... they are both good but shawns back hand spring series is amazing!!! did you see a wobble cause i sure didnt! except the landing but so what that was the only time where i saw her not land it good........ so no hate and im not trying to be mean either, i love shawn and nastia

  • @2010amberj its not the wobbles, shawn has flexed feet on EVERY acro skill. especially on her loso, she great but not perfect

  • @TheGymMaster01 When you go to the Olympics and win gold on this event then you can nit pick shawns routine.

  • @TheGymMaster01 yeh look.....when she goes to the Olympics and wins gold on the event...[not to mention gold at almost every national competition] you don't really have a right to nit pick like that. NO-ONE is perfect. everyone has their flaws. clearly her pros outweighed her flaws by a lot.

  • @FlicTuckFulldo i hear jealousy in ur chat?i think so.SO STOP HATING ON HER its not like u can do any better

  • standing full on beam!! EPIC!

  • You Are very good

  • Comment removed

  • Obviously 2 people are blind, or just jealous.. This was an amazing routine!.<3

  • she is amazing

  • She is just truly amazing! My #1 Idol! :)

  • nice toes

  • she will push throught make london 2012 i just know it i love her. i have faith that she will do it. she can do anything she sets her mind too!

  • @marykay116 wont she be a little to old

  • she is my favourite gymnast !

    

  • shawn johnson is grate at everything.

  • @Frogchick96 How the heck do you spell great wrong?

  • shes AMAZING AND SHES VERY BEAUTIFUL!

  • shes amazingg , dont get me wrong but they dont pay enough attention to the other talanted gymnastt <3

  • She's so pretty and young, :) x

  • She is soooooooo amazing, her legs are strong, she is so pretty and she knows what shes doing.

  • @thejadedancer24 your so right

  • so i have a question... on layouts like the one shawn does at about :54 after the switch leap, is she supposed to have a split in mid-air to have correct form?

  • Absolutely love AAI beams :D

  • freaking amazing routine shawn! you go girl!!!<33

  • If she stuck the dismount she could not be human. That routine was so good it's scary.

  • its awesome! but isnt it kida funny how she sticks everything with no wobbles on a 4 inch beam, but not her dismount on the floor? i mean, im not saying anything mean. I love her soooooo much. but think about it. isn't it sorta funny?

  • @commamomma I think the mats have a lot to do with that. They're quite deep, and if you land with a lot of impact/power, they compact a lot and make it hard to stick. Nothing scientific, just my observations from my own gymnastics.

  • I whant to be just like you

  • she is amazing!!

  • love her

  • the 1 dislike is a nastia liukin fan

  • Comment removed

  • @CrazyGreaseFan can you not be a fan of both?

  • @CrazyGreaseFan

    Actually, the dislikes are probably from people who like clean gymnastics.

  • Do not disrespect Nastia Liukin. She is very talented, and does not deserve any bit of non-sense. No doubt she works hard to get to the where she is today, so do not criticize.

  • @CrazyGreaseFan - Why should they care? Nastia won the biggest prize?

  • @CrazyGreaseFan and now the 10 dislikes are the members of the nastia liukin fan club

  • Who was on the floor in the background?

  • She is the best gymnast in the world. Period.

  • She is such a hard worker

  • AMAZING

  • she got a 16 out of what. like if i got a nine out of ten she got a 16 out of...

  • @missgymnastgirl101 she got a 16 out of 20

  • @missgymnastgirl101 16 out of 16.9 or 17

  • front tuck

  • did she do a front pike or a front tuck?

  • its so cool how shes sooo springy on her back handsprings as if she's on a trampoline!!

  • this is the same routine she did at the olympic trials! :)

  • I just love to watch shawn on balance beam! her landings are just perfect! she's so different to nastia, who i also love to watch on beam because of her grace and elegance and her long legs....but shawn has such precision and power!

    and i love shawn's hair the way it is in this video, the little plaits are so cute! :)

  • She does her routine so smooth, but if I tried that rift now, I would shurely die!!!

  • love shorty's!

  • I never understood why she didnt do a harder mount

  • tim was right about her leaps ... why are they questioning him ?

  • oh.my.God! holy crap shes incredable!! she is my favourite gymnast!! :)

  • @ 0:40 - Oh, my lord. Pure perfection.

  • holy crap shes amazing! its really hard to do a standing front punch or full but she sticks everything! i ♥ herrrr

  • wow shes aweasome

  • she was so underscored on day 1 but i do agree she was so much better on day 2

  • she did sooo much better on the second day!!!

  • omfg

  • nastia is doing floor! Hear the music in the background

  • her face is so perfectly concentrated, it makes me warm inside!

  • did you see that?? she doesn't even stagges...

  • Luvvv Shawn!!:)

  • that is not normal! im a gymnast and its still not normal...i wish i could do that. gosh its amazing
