Shawn Johnson - 2011 Visa Championships - Day 2 - Uneven Bars

[danceri110]

Not as good as Nastia. 

[DianaPham12]

i mean shes good and all, but she is kinda bulky and short, this looks really weird.

[karaktekajd]

@DianaPham12 Its called MUSCLE.

[coropa1996]

damn girl.....you sexy

[1iluvgaga]

i love her leo

[19joanne95]

love her leotard

[cj222100]

She seems to look pretty much the same as in the 08 olympics.Sometimes you see them a few years later, and they look like a different person. Then again, she was 16 in 08. And there's a big difference between going from 16 to19 and going from like, 14 to 18.

[LilYoshi1999]

I CAN'T FRICKEN FIND THAT BODY SUIT ON GK!!!!!!!!!

[ROCK3RxCHiCK23]

@LilYoshi1999 it was probably custom made

[makeupgymnast]

@ROCK3RxCHiCK23 she has her own suit line

[BiAnCa11808]

don't we all just love potatoes

[guineapigsrule398]

what is that stuff at 0:05? does it do something? and if it does what does it do?

[allaroundcoach]

@guineapigsrule398 it is called chalk; we use it on bars to get a better grip. some nations use it with a mixture of honeyand water, others like their bars bare with a bit of chalk. you can also use it on the other events if you are going to hold you legs together on the dismount for ex.

[sophiasponge123]

@guineapigsrule398 it helps u not to slip

[LoverOfCookies10]

@guineapigsrule398 its chalk it helps your hands from sweating

[meadowlane37]

[laeticia44840]

[hasiongirl01]

i love how she is thick and not as skinny as the other gymnast

[Sniper96J]

i think she cool

[purpleangel235]

whats her story? did she stop for a awhile and then join the 2012 in london?

[aNoifmYg391]

@purpleangel235 She stopped competitive gymnastics after beijing 2008, but she never officially retired though. In 2009 she won Dancing with the stars and did lots of commercials and tv apparences. Then, in february 2010 she tore something in her knee while skiing and she says in interviews that that made her wonder if she "could ever do gymnastics again". So in May 2010 (i think) she started training again and here she is! (Hope everything is correct!)

[purpleangel235]

@aNoifmYg391 Thanks! Happy holidays :)

[patsyrosie]

@purpleangel235 about 2 years ago or so she went ski-ing and had an accedent and tor some ligaments in her leg or somthing like that and it took her forever to recover and she thought she could never be able to do gymnastics again after that. But here she is :) and i PRAY that she can go to london. AND compete!

[xrictinaaa1]

@purpleangel235 She said she had an injury while skiing and had to undergo surgury and that this injury made her realese that gymnastics could never be in her life again. She realised that if she didn't give it a shot she'd regret it so being out of gymnastics for almost two years she went back to training and she's trying to make the 2012 olympic team.

[jjskibluee]

Love her! Quality of video... not so much.

[ellovestumbling332]

idk if she will go to the olympics. some rookies did well this year.

[brdbarreira]

@ellovestumbling332 I think she will, even if it was as an alternate. Upcoming seniors to 2012 aren't that good... probably the team will be Jordyn, McKayla, Shawn, Alexandra, Bross, Chellsie and Nastia (possible alternates would be Shawn, Chellsie or Nastia)

[xGymCouture]

@brdbarreira What about Alicia?!

[brdbarreira]

@xGymCouture I don't know, USA would already have 3 strong vaulters (Maroney, Wieber and Shawn)... remember that Alicia doesn't compete UB, that's the event USA needs most. Chellsie is good on beam and floor, but she's great at UB too

[xGymCouture]

@brdbarreira But will Shawn have her amanar back and having it done well in time for the olys? Yeah i guess :/ But if Alicia eventually does the handspring double twist and the amanar which is her plan and upgrades beam and floor a bit that makes her really strong to have in the team finals and event finals :) its so hard to say at this point though!! in 2008 it was a bit easier but i think we have to watch nationals first to have a clear idea! ;)

[brdbarreira]

@xGymCouture I agree with you... Shawn told Universal Sports that she's already training the Amanar again. It's a tough decision, but the point is really Uneven Bars

[ellovestumbling332]

@brdbarreira very true but next year there will only be 5 ppl on the olympic team not including alternates. they changed it. i think it will be alicia jordyn and a toss up between alexandra shawn nastia mckayla and maybe chellsie. she has a shoulder injury that might hold her back.

[brdbarreira]

@ellovestumbling332 So there won't be any alternate or just 3 will compete?

[xGymCouture]

@brdbarreira there will most probably be 3 non travelling alternates and there might be a travelling alternate that goes to london but i don't know for sure yet. but the main team will be 5 gymnasts that will compete.

[brdbarreira]

@xGymCouture 5 competitors and 2 alternates on a team right? Or 5 INCLUDING the alternates

[xGymCouture]

@brdbarreira I'm not sure how many alternates there will be but the 5 on the team is discluding the alternates, 5 gymnasts on the team to COMPETE at london.

[brdbarreira]

@xGymCouture Oh, now I understood, ty

[Cheerleader16011998]

Sorry but beth tweddle still owns the bars

[megapieluver]

@Cheerleader16011998 true that

[TerryVideoDiary]

does anyone know how she does her hair here?

[xamanda89]

@TerryVideoDiary its a french braid, except you twist the pieces of hair under, not over!

[lyricselestina]

She'll always be the best. Watch out Jordyn. ;)

[marykay116]

she could add some more difficultly and she would be a shoe in for London! you can do this shawn!

[tatulover2120]

i wish i was that good lol

[xGymCouture]

@tatulover2120 Don't we all? :/

[Handsmf9]

Dude, she is so going to be ready by next year. Outlook good.

[gymnasticsluva108]

Nastia decided to try for 2012. I heard it on the news.

[tatulover2120]

@gymnasticsluva108 she shouldve decided sooner...shes gonna extremly rusty

[gymnasticsluva108]

@tatulover2120 Yeah

[preppybaby01]

@gymnasticsluva108 so did shawn

[gymnasticsluva108]

@preppybaby01 I know that is why I said that... That is her above so yeah I knew Thanks though :)

[preppybaby01]

@gymnasticsluva108 i know its her above 

[katiebug439]

@gymnasticsluva108

cool she is my favorite

[mvo09]

Do you guys think Shawn will make it to the olympics?? I hope she does because to me she's the best gymnast in the world !

[sstthh1]

@mvo09 if she's as good as she was in 2008 in 2012 then defenitely yes

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

@mvo09 I don't think so, I think her come back was cutting it very fine in terms of training time and proving she can do it. I think she still has a chance though, it depends on how the other girls perform at Worlds and how she performs at Pan Ams. I hope she can but I doubt it.

[mvo09]

@mvo09 I really hope she can too ! She's sooo amazing ! I think she will do it ! Gooo Shawnn !

[edwardismyhomie]

i love her leotard. shes such a dare devil. but she doesnt look like she wants to do this anymore. btw where did all the gymnasts go?

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@edwardismyhomie Sadly, they do not. And where did all the gymnasts go? Which ones...?

[edwardismyhomie]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 like Nastia did she stop or something? And Chelsey Memmal.

[cleicsioluek]

@edwardismyhomie Nastia..... Don't really know, she says she didn't shut the door yet, although the Olympics are 11 months away, so I don't think she'll come back for London. Chellsie is still training, in fact, she is on the Pam Am team this year along with Bridget Sloan and Shawn Johnson. And Sam Paszek is competing in collegial level (NCAA). And Alicia is on the World team. Voila :) (But remember, gymnasts come and go, so you can't expect to see them all the time!)

[xGymCouture]

@cleicsioluek Chellsie isn't going to compete at Pan Ams, because of her tweaked shoulder at Nationals she's dropped out :(

[cleicsioluek]

@xGymCouture OMG! I just read that! (Wish her a good and speedy recovery!) And good luck to Grace McLaughlin who will compete in Chellsie's place!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@edwardismyhomie Nastia hasn't announced if she'll make a comeback for 2012 yet. I doubt she'll be capable of it (although she got an Ono back in, I believe, 2 days). She'll probably only do bars and maybe beam. Chellsie Memmel's back. She made a comeback. But she injured her shoulder.

[patsyrosie]

@edwardismyhomie is she didnt want to be there why was she there? im sure she was just 'in the zone' :)

[justlisten0828]

@edwardismyhomie i think that shawn is just more focused and serious during competitions. it doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy it anymore... if she didn't want to do gymnastics, she wouldn't be here.

[mwkaadan]

i feel like about every routine is the same. does anyboby do anything else besideds a fly away

[mwkaadan]

i really miss her smile!!!!!

[Cryo837]

DEJA VU!!! This is sooooooo great!!!!
