level 15 lol. I'm level 9 been doing gymnastics for 12 almost 13 years and as far as I know their isn't any such thing as level 15. and I am pretty sure I'm right....
I think it's nice that this is Shawn's dream and not the dream of her parents, they support her 100% but it's all about Shawn, not them... The way it should be...
I can't wait for her to start competing, but not for the reason some may think. I honestly think her massive success and always near perfect routines WONT be a reality for her 4 more years into the future....and I am happy for it. NOW she will have to fight more than ever to be on top. She won't be the youngest and freshest THIS time. I think it will be good for her and I think I may like her a bit more.
@romaniankoko what do you mean they are not supportive? they are, it has just been so tough for them to watch her suffer and sacrifice so much for this sport, they want her to have a life!! but i can tell they'll be there for her, whatever she decides...
my goal was to be in the 2008 olympics. had to quit when i was 14 tho :( had stress fractures in my back. i didnt know there was such a thing as level 15? lol weird. dont u have elite stages or anything?
jordynbartlett19, that is very common in gymnast and cheerleaders. My daughter and I both sustained identical fractures, but when you are young and that happens, you can take a season off to heal and maybe you can return. but I'm way to old to do that so now I am in Kajukenbo. and love that as much if not more that gymnastics.
yeah i thought it mite b common. more so these days than say 20 years ago anyway. gymnastics has become a very high impact sport. all about difficulty and tumbling rather than the artistry. i took a season off and kept trying to go back but my back never fully healed. 6 years later and its still not perfect (sigh) what is Kajukenbo?
yeah im confused.. ive never heard of level 15. r u sure your not in some recreational programme or something? lol. and u cant tell any1 that your going to be in the olympics.. in this real world we live in(most of us), anything can happen. injuries, mistakes. u know?-life.
i think that its not that she doesn't have the passion anymore because obviously she loves what she does, but she accomplished her life long dream and goal and maybe that was the highlight of her career. She is a normal girl with a gift and she was meant to be in the spot light for a reason. She wants to go to college and build another career, but at least she will always have this huge event in her life to remember forever and cherish.
its too bad that she decided to stop for now but i really thought that she would get back in the game. she odoesnt have any injuries so apparently she just likes her life without all th etraining.i dought that she will come back because she doesnt really seem to have the passion for it like nastia does. she just..... doesnt seem to love it like she used to. dont get me wrong, i love shawn but ya know, its a little bit... sad that alicia can come out of retirement but shawn wont.
Shawn is a thick girl. Once you get older your body can betry you in many ways. So physical she won't be ready for 2012. How many twenty year olds do you see on the bars and beams? Alicia person you mention will probably have the same problem.
what about that one thirty year old gymnast I believe people who say your body can betray you as you get older is the excuse lazy people who have never done any physical activity have for being lazy
@sweetheart2109 Alicia Sacramone - came back after retirement and shoulder surgery and then won the Gold on Vault at Worlds in 2010. Also Mohini Bhardwaj and Annia Hatch came back from injury and were in their mid 20s when they competed for USA in Athens. The current world champion on bars is in her mid 20s - Beth Tweddle. Not to mention that Svetlana Khorkina didn't become all-around world champion until her 3rd Olympic cycle.
I don't think she will. It is going to take her a lot of ime to get back into shape as an elite gymnast. And as of now she hasn't gotten backk to the gym, she is too busy being a celebrity. Everybody ends the sport sometime and right now may be the time thats best for her to end.
They are not morons just because they named their daughter shawn their are alot of people who are girls with the name shawn or jordan ect its their parents choice on what they name their child
well they are plenty supportive, it's just difficult training for something like that. It takes a lot of work and cooperation from the parents and the gymnasts of course, it also costs a lot of money so i think thats why they may seem that way.
they are VERY supportive if SHE wants to do it. Obviously they don't want to be put through that pressure again, but if Shawn wants to, they are behind her all the way. Theu are not pushy parents, Shawn is doing the pushing.
My girlfriend was an elite gymnast for years. It is extremely hard on the body. I would like to see Shawn come back in 2012 because she is amazing, but if she doesn't want to I totally support her. She deserves some rest! Let her be a normal kid!!!
im 1 year younger than her..i think shes adorable but i never think anything perverted O_O its like what the hell is wrong with some of the men in America
your right. there are plenty of girls out there that are near our age or their age. its a shame that they cant see that. i feel sorry for shawn if she ever has to walk somewhere alone
I hope she does compete she is good and should not let her talent go to waste and she could bring america to a high level but whatever her decition is we should respect it she trains hard everyday remember 4 hours wouldnt you feel tired and sore it seems fun but when you start going to the hospital no that happy anymore
i like how they ask if she's going to be in the next Olympics right after she's just won a bunch of medals in this one; i hope she competes, that would be reliving an awesome experience for her
sorry..THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hour
Hey guys, check out A FUNNY INTERVIEW WITH SHAUN JOHNSON PART 1 & 2. Shaun was honored in Beijing as the favorite athlete of the year and holds a place in the hall of fame. Shaun made a hand print and it was hung on the wall of fame. It was in Mandarin but Shaun answered in English through her coach's wife as translator. Her parents were there in the audience with a translator as well.
It's not only the fact that the sport is somewhat straining on life, it is also the fact that they had to mortgage their house THREE times! It cost them a lot of money just to get her to where she is now!
yea but you have to remember that now she is going to get even more endorsements than she had before, and she'll basically be able to pay for herself. also, i think i read in SI that the athletes got money from the us olympic committee for winning medals.
with that being said, the only thing that will keep her from competing in the 2012 games is herself. in my mind there are 3 posssibilities: either she gets hurt, loses her passion for the sport, or she'll go to the 2012 games
Her parents must feel exhausted from everything. It's a long hard road and to do it all again will be so difficult. I think Shawn has another olympics left in her yet and her parents will be supporting her all the way.
I thought that her parents would be a little more supportive/enthusiastic about competing in 2012.Her parents will support her if she decides to compete in 2012 but right now I think they just want to take a little break.They will get that break in about 3 days when the Tour of Gymnastics Superstars starts.A 3 month, 40 city tour,that I am going to! It includes men and women from the 2008 Olympic Gymnastics Team. To get tickets go to Shawns website to find a link to where you can get tickets
Their sporting life is very short and very easy to get injured in the process. Her parents just love her and don't want her to get hurt. They are parents, think from their view. Hope to see Shwawn in 2012
her parents don't seem as supportive as you'd expect. i get the whole thing about the risk of injuries and the cost of training but they're not very enthusiastic about it. i don't know i'm not saying they're not behind her.. but maybe no behind her as much as you'd expect..
Plus i think for her with all the expectations on her in winning the all around and other events and how hard she was judged in bejing was really hard on her, with the scores she got at nationals and trials she and most ppl expected her to win
i think that her parents said that they "didn't want" to do it again bcuz making it to the games and the amount of training is so extreme that it can exhaust a young athlete. Also they probably just want her to have a "normal life" and have her life not revolve around gymnastics.
it's not that easy to just say okay i wanna go to the olympics. yeah, it'll be fun to watch her but it takes time and effort, and she'll be in college. her parents want her to get educated and i bet shawn does too. i mean i want her to aim for 2012 but i don't want her to risk injury. it's up to her and her parents.
well, it's not that they're unsupportive, but it costs money, time, training, the risk of injury or even death. she won't be able to spend much time in school, she won't be able to spend time with friends and family, and they just don't want shawn to get hurt.
It's kind of cruel the amount of pressure an elite gymnast must put on her body. I recently read that 93% of them have longstanding injuries as a result of the sport. Although I heard she only trains 20 hours a week rather than 40 (like most elite gymnasts)so maybe she is healthier but 4 medals is enough - she doesn't need to risk her health for the American public.
She needs to be there in 2012. If she doesn't, then i will go on strike and not watch the olympics. She is the most fun to watch of them all. Do it! I already miss watching her

yeah but as these gymnasts grow older, it becomes more and more difficult to train
for another 4 years for the Olympic games.
If they & their bodies can hold up, and they can do as well as they did this year in Beijing,
then by all means, they should get their butts over to London and hopefully win Gold again :)

Yeah I doubt that she'll be at 2020, but definitely 2012 and probably 2016.

Plus i think for her with all the expectations on her in winning the all around and other events and how hard she was judged in bejing was really hard on her, with the scores she got at nationals and trials she and most ppl expected her to win

i think that her parents said that they "didn't want" to do it again bcuz making it to the games and the amount of training is so extreme that it can exhaust a young athlete. Also they probably just want her to have a "normal life" and have her life not revolve around gymnastics.
gymfan06 3 years ago
she better be there!! i will be pissed off if she decides to waste that talent...and looks!!

it's not that easy to just say okay i wanna go to the olympics. yeah, it'll be fun to watch her but it takes time and effort, and she'll be in college. her parents want her to get educated and i bet shawn does too. i mean i want her to aim for 2012 but i don't want her to risk injury. it's up to her and her parents.

her parents seem very unsupportive to me
(well the dad at least) think more on ur daughter rather than urself!)
and go shawn
acrc14 3 years ago
well, it's not that they're unsupportive, but it costs money, time, training, the risk of injury or even death. she won't be able to spend much time in school, she won't be able to spend time with friends and family, and they just don't want shawn to get hurt.

It's kind of cruel the amount of pressure an elite gymnast must put on her body. I recently read that 93% of them have longstanding injuries as a result of the sport. Although I heard she only trains 20 hours a week rather than 40 (like most elite gymnasts)so maybe she is healthier but 4 medals is enough - she doesn't need to risk her health for the American public.

She needs to be there in 2012. If she doesn't, then i will go on strike and not watch the olympics. She is the most fun to watch of them all. Do it! I already miss watching her
