Shawn Johnson - Vault - 2008 Olympic Trials - Day 2

[yams317]

why wasn't she in the vault event finals?

[zdancer6]

@yams317 to be in vault event finals you need two vaults from different families. She only had this vault.

[cahilltc100]

Very nice. She should try Rostock although she has heaps of power when she does it like this so I wouldn't try to change it

[SingerDancer10]

I hate the way they run..

[627nothing]

i love shawn johnson♥

[Angel9837]

shes is so good in every event...

[obybaby1]

she runs so funny

[FlicTuckFull]

Incomplete. This shouldn't have counted.

[marieked]

@FlicTuckFull how is it incomplete?

[kpenda]

@marieked If you stop the video just as she hits the mat, you can see she's not fully rotated (her last half-twist didn't make it round). If the judges were being strict, they'd count it as a double twist instead of a 2.5.

[FlicTuckFull]

@kpenda

Even if the judges were the easiest judges around they should have realized she literally hit the mat facing towards the crowd.

[TheWendywu]

not being mean or anything but she should learn how to stick it not go forward but she really is a talented gymnast

[chinghxd]

@TheWendywu it's freaking amazing she's even able to do that vault...only a handful in the world do it. it's higher marks and much more impressive if she takes one step out on the 2.5 Amanar than if someone did a 1.5 Yurchenko and stuck it.

[GymchampZW]

@chinghxd Hmmm that's debatable. I would much rather watch Nastia's 1.5 than watch Nabieva's 2.5 anyday...

[Relozory23]

[5280gymnast]

its hard to stick most men cant even do that

[harrypottersgymnast]

thanks to @MisanthropistPro for explainin!;]

[MisanthropistPro]

@harrypottersgymnast Yep. (=

[harrypottersgymnast]

double twist??? wats this vault??

[MisanthropistPro]

@harrypottersgymnast Well, since it's a yurchenko, she comes off of the vault table backwards. If it was a double twist, she would land facing it. It's an Amanar. Yurchenko 2.5 twist.

[dancelife450]

shes amazing
