[mayaly97]

[YummyDubbleBubble]

thumbs up if you pause at 0:28 she doesn't use her hands for her back handspring! :)

[lizziepink15]

@YummyDubbleBubble yeah it's a whip..

[Anaconda3513]

@YummyDubbleBubble its called a whip it is pretty common 

[101vicious]

@YummyDubbleBubble no need to with legs like that lol, just kidding of course

[OriganallyToowie]

@YummyDubbleBubble It wasn't a back handspring, it was a whip or a layout ;) but you are right, it does look like a bhs with no hands xD

[jillianeasonn]

@YummyDubbleBubble It's called a whip

[LeilaLilzMathy]

@YummyDubbleBubble It's called a whip. :P

[supersmockey101]

@YummyDubbleBubble It was probally meant to be a whip, not a backhanspring

[Alicia13320]

@YummyDubbleBubble Is a tempo !

[manda27w]

@YummyDubbleBubble it's called a whip =)

[407Swimmer]

@YummyDubbleBubble its called a whip. lol

[LennartDerBoss]

@YummyDubbleBubble That's called a "whip"

[1994antmfan]

@YummyDubbleBubble its called a whip lol

[GymN10city]

@YummyDubbleBubble It is because she is not executing a back handspring she is executing a whip.

[cheerbabyn2]

@YummyDubbleBubble yeah its called a whip-_-

[chinghxd]

@YummyDubbleBubble she sure doesn't! but it's on purpose; it's called a whip triple. The purpose isn't to use your hands and rather to "whip" and you're supposed to get more power to do the triple. but it's still awesome! =D.

[hinkena1]

@YummyDubbleBubble thats called a whip... =D

[laurisrocha1995]

@YummyDubbleBubble she kind off did a tempo there

[littlelynii03]

@YummyDubbleBubble thats because shes doing a whip, not a back handspring

[thatguyupstairs]

@YummyDubbleBubble she was supposed to because she did basically the same routine for her beijing finals and she didn't put her hands down on that one

[thatguyupstairs]

@YummyDubbleBubble its called a whip, you let your feet drag you over with the momentum.

[XNastiaLiukinLoverX]

@YummyDubbleBubble It's called a whip.

[sharayahpalmer]

@YummyDubbleBubble thats because its not a backhand spring its a whip

[makemeupforever99]

@YummyDubbleBubble lol it was a whip double full =)

[ani744]

dayuuum

[gymnasticsboy11]

Love this routine but liked the other floor music better.

[MelissaP123x]

sooooo fantastic! she is my inspiration!! :-)

[popxrocksxrock]

this is why she won.

[LucianaDenino]

She's amazing!

[mikhalarox96]

And I thought dancing was hard o.O

[NissieCullen]

i love shawns tumbling its sooo good:) 

[Bubblepoper13]

I met her she's pretty cool she's really sweet

[anonymous7741]

August Rush Music!



[alienrockprincess4]

and this my friends, is why shawn brought home the gold! :)

[froggythegymnast]

wats tht movie called at @1:14-1:17??

[vierlaty2]

her hair looks soooo managable:) im jealous

[greene825]

is august rush playing in the background??

[chinghxd]

@greene825 yeh it's called "august rhapsody" from the movie "august rush". and @TheEpicQuality......cool story......@froggythegymnast pretty sure it's a round-off double twist. or something.

[TheEpicQuality]

she has beautiful face...but man-like body (( that`s why i dont love gymnast-girls(

[Sanchara]

how is it even humanly possible to be that adorable and that badass at the same time?

[cosbyshowobsessed]

was the a tripple? or a double?! i couldnt tell!

[brookeferraro]

@cosbyshowobsessed she does a whip triple, and a roundoff double

[gilbjimenez]

I love how she especially doesn't have a double pike for her entry, or exit pass :)

[ramunas1231]

how old is she?

[brookeferraro]

@ramunas1231 she was 16 here, she's now 19

[briskywithoutadoubt]

this girl has talent

[cristi0771]

how old is she??? She is AMAZING.

[thezebradonkey]

@cristi0771

In this and the Olympics she was 16.

[thejadedancer24]

She is soo awesome.

[lunamexitli]

Me gusta mucho más Nastia, pero sin dudarlo definitivamente me quedo con Mustafina!!!

[gilbjimenez]

What's the highest score you can get on floor? :O

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

@gilbjimenez well, it depends on your start value... like shawn johnson in the olympics floor event finals her start value was 6.4 so the highest score she can get is a 16.4

[Pujardoff1]

Her legs are too short

[musiclover4698]

this is the best I've seen do the whip into the triple twist!! Great Job Shawn!

[KVHolland3]

I still can't believe that THIS got a 16.100...way to high...she's amazing...but Sandra Izbasa who stuck all but one of her landings in Beijing and was even more difficult then Shawn would've had to do a double double as her second pass...a 2.5 to 1.5 then a 1.5 to double front twist to even think about getting a score like that.

[TheKookyShow98]

My favorite part is 0:35 when she hops around

[TmoneyDBZ]

She is the definition of AMAZING!

[muffingirl1606]

She's so strong.

[Therosebud99]

I LOVE her ending and how shes on the ground very creative and amazing!

[erin6697]

her smile gets bigger every second

[gymnastx0931]

love love love her floor music and routine

[lilypod3]

This is one of my favourite floor routines from her :)

[dhabaddestnigga]

omgg her bhs look like they barely touch the floorr

[MissOlanious]

@lovethedog100 i noticed that too! its a part of the rhapsody but also from the scene of august first playing the guitar :)

[cairsahr64]

She does this routine so well. A real pleasure to watch. Perfect routines are hard to find --- but the difficulty level is through the roof, so I do not complain. Wow to all gymnasts!

[Twilight19922008]

on hd this is way better than my tv..

[mmmchocolate12345678]

It wuz like the music wuz meant just for her.

[alabamagrl445]

I hope she comes back for 2012, her and Nastia Liukin.

[bloodgushingsquirrel]

@alabamagrl445 i knowww they better!

[sarah1496x]

amazzzzzing!

[jesslovesyouxo3]

[keli59]

I want her back to competition!!!!!

she is a good dancer, but an AMAZING gymnast!

please shawn get back!

[flwrgrl13]

[peaceluvcheer97]

[SportyChick141]

soooo so good! i regret not being there...

[Sk8rlayday]

what is this music it's amazing!!

[BeautifulBellaJen]

@Sk8rlayday it's from the movie August Rush

[bedinvenus]

yes shes coming back into gymnastics!

[tomsk14]

Im so glad 2008 is over in gymnastics years, the code of points was the worst ever, 5 tumbles in 90 seconds? goodbye artistry.....

I went to the 2009 worlds and I was relieved to see aristry coming back.....

Cracking routine btw Shawn.....

[ohdearkara]

omg i like her floor music!

does anyone know the name?

[TheAlliepaige17]

@ohdearkara It is the movie August Rush.

[atvile]

@ohdearkara its the song in "August Rush" its most likely ont he soundstrack i don't remember the name though

[TheSoccerstar45ify]

i think shes good with this music

[goodyougetastar]

This is the best I've seen her land that triple.

[mycajona]

her Acceleration is awesome.'

[mycajona]

I still liked her floor music in 2007

[MetaTriforce1]

anyone can be @ her level if they put their mind to it!

[lovegurl817]

yeah that triple did look like a quad.

[gymnist2009]

if it was a quad it wpuld named the luikin named after nastia luikin

[MaebySurelyBarely]

@gymnist2009 No, a quadruple twist would not be named after Nastia Liukin as she never performed it at a World or Olympic level. Furthermore, she never completed it at any competition.

[MrThomas2999]

@MaebySurelyBarely She actually attempted one at the 2005 us classic but only got 3 and a bit but it looked like she got it around she also has stuck a 3 and a half before but like you said not competed in international competition.

[TwisterFlipp95]

she had a great landing on her whip to triple, but I did think she was overscored at nationals and trials.

[megsterxoxo]

good quality much!

[samnetTV]

omg i saw her at CheerSport! she was right in front of me!

[jeffdunhamfan22]

Show twists so fast on her triple it looks like a quad!

[jeffdunhamfan22]

Best whip to triple ever!!!!!

[kaytg89]

her whip to triple twist was awesome!

[gymchick733]

LOVE IT

[liabess]

i am in level 9 and i will never be as good as her!

[mrshatza101]

sean johnson is 4 feet 11 inches butt still great

[gymnasticsluv123]

@mrshatza101 not sean its shawn. my bros name is spelled that way though

[SBerry817]

@mrshatza101 Yeah? lol Um Most Gymnasts Are Short

[danielcnsilva]

@mrshatza101 It is Shawn, and not Sean.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@mrshatza101 She was 4'8'' in Beijing.

[4everAquamarinegirl]

@mrshatza101 its spelled shawn not sean

[gleasongymnast911]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11­

[AGLUVER14]

amazing, i luv her, its so amazing like how high they go and just like what they do!!!!

[pinkismylife0]

its just amazing. it all starts with handstands and cartwheels and round offs and then it all adds up to this beautiful preformance. amazing

[nostrega]

love her and the music..from august rush..great movie :)

[carriemydear]

I miss Shawn. 2009 nationals seemed boring without her. You didn't seen any crazy difficulty. She was always there to fire up the standings :)

[dancelife450]

i do too. Bridget is the best one now. and shes nothing compared to shawn. When shawn gets back into gymnastic shape and shes training. Bridget and nastia will be sorry. I dont care if it takes shawn more than a year to get back to this shape!

[TheToontownprincess]

@carriemydear she is as tall as i am and im in 5th grade and 11 going on 12

[iTumbleToo]

@carriemydear You know she's announced a comeback, right? 

[TwisterFlipp95]

@carriemydear

Rebecca Bross?

[Bahzinhah]

@TwisterFlipp95 carriemydear said 'crazy difficulty'... no.. that's not Rebecca Bross x)

[Gr33nkiwi]

@Bahzinhah There are many gymnasts who have much more difficulty than Bross.

[TwisterFlipp95]

she had an awsome landing on her whip triple :]=]

[sarahbarah4562]

i love Shawn and she is a superior role model to me but i loved her old floor exercise routine better then this one!

[DJT113]

unluckyrocker its called a double twisting double tuck or a full in full out tuck =)

[sammydavisjr34]

how come gymnasts never get weggies?

[sarahbarah4562]

lol so true!!!!!! i would get a major a weggie if that was me!!!!

[xobabyboo96]

Tough skin! it's like hairspray you put on your leo so it sticks to you! It's really uncomfortable

[unluckyrocker13]

whats it called that she did at 0:18?? its freaking awesome!!

[jony7779]

that would be a double back with two twists.

[tpiz2019]

@unluckyrocker13 it's called a double twist double flip. I might be wrong.

[balletbabe104]

i heard this floor music in Bring It On...

[Lucassobreira1]

Perfeito Shawn, te adoro!!!

[lafo93]

she got such height on her last and second pass!

i love most of these dance elements, especially at 1.19 !

[sgymnasteg]

Same music for Trial days 1 and 2. I like her floor routine more than Nastia's though. The dance is creative and she performs it almost flawlessly.

[tumblindrums10]

obviously u havent seen nastia dance then

[MSrfur]

Why do you bother to watch Shawn then? You ruin the experience for the rest of us with your snarky comments. I keep seeing them with like negative 6 ratings.

[NastiaCarlyFan]

did she have diffrent music for this????
