I hope she does not read some of these youtube comments on other videos so many bad people saying bad things its sad

[lasalseracubana]

yeah but i reckon she's a smart kid, i'm sure it doesn't affect her... at least i sure hope it doesn't, cause she freaking rocks!!! look at all these useless teenagers like that miley cyrus girl, they have no talent they're terrible role models for kids, shawn and nastia and all the elite gymnasts from all over the world are awesome examples of how to focuse and grow up to be a good person. i hope my kids are like shawn!! ;-)

[ilovelibertyTYC]

[minxbby]

smi: you have no idea how stupid you've made yourself look do you? it's small minded, ignorant disrespectful people like you that make it such a bad place to be. please tell us; how many world champions have you coached?  how many of your athletes are competing in the olympics?

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Wow, smiFromBelarus, you're taking it too far. I mean, hating on a gymnast with insults like "she's a piece of crap" are just immature, but claiming someone was molested because some gossiper said it??? That's just low. Ver, very low.

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

smifromBelarus thinks every world class gymnast is being molested. He/she claims to hear this as a coach, but I am a coach too and we would speak of nothing of the sort you concentrate on your own athletes. If they were being molested they woyldnt look so happy to be out there poerforming and be so self motivated to do well!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I'm with you! Hear hear!

[juulianna]

how tall shawn is?

[Stella1love]

4'8"

[sbacheerleader]

She said 4'9". Watch "at home with olympic hopeful Shawn Johnson."

[gymnastralohartley]

yes and 92 lbs.

[smileyfan16]

dang she is 88 pounds

[Jadavontae]

she's 4'8"

[gymbaby1012]

My coach is so ****** too. I hate it soo much. She expects me to be perfect and nobody is. I was doing a layout stepout on beam and i fell and she made me stay a half hour later and do conditioning. GRRRR ! lol

Anyway, good luck in the future Shawn!

[gymnastralohartley]

mycoach is the same she calls u fat and yells at me all the time she makes u stay at the gym till like 11 pm at night

[snafu224]

wow you people who are just insulting all the gymnast need lives because you probably have never been to a gymnastics competition let tried gymnastics so you have no idea what its like so SHUT UP!!

I love Shawn she one of my fav gymnasts. HOPE SHE GOES TO BEIJING! Good luck to her!

[gymnastralohartley]

Hey shawn rocks ok lets not put her down just visit my page and youll see what i mean just click on my name

[cheerleader216]

omg shes 88 pounds?! well its probably because shes so short but most gymnasts are short

[311girl]

Very well spoken for her age. I'd love to see her or Nastia win in '08. They both have charisma. Go USA!!

[ApolytonGP]

sacramone is over 18, but she cries like a prepubescent baby. She cried and cried when she lost. Like to see her get spanked.

[vietgrlterifa]

You'd probably get off on it.

[gymrat4ever]

she definately is an emotional person but alicia does not cry like a prepubescent baby- i go to brestyans too

[ApolytonGP]

The crying seemed weak. But worse was the poor sportsmanship. Still think she needs to learn to grow up, but wish her the best in the future. Hope you have good workouts together.

[smiFromBelarus]

I think part of her being so emotional might have to do with rumored sexual abuse she suffered as a child.

[ApolytonGP]

A. BS.

B.  Even if true, it's not a valid excuse.

[smiFromBelarus]

A. i heard its true.

B. Many girls who where molested seem to be very emotional and display eratic behavior like Alicia, they are happy then mad/sad, for ilogical reasons like rightfully getting beat at Worlds.

[bmuniz1983]

and what's your excuse for the random CRAP that you post? BIPOLAR!

It seems like you just spend all day posting bull $hit on here just to give you something to do! I mean, first Alicia is talking crap and then she's molested WTF???!!!

GET A LIFE!

[smiFromBelarus]

Actually she was supposedly molested a long time ago, she just started talking crap recently, you are making it like I said she was talking crap and then molested recently. And how am I Bipolar? if anyone its bipolar is goingto be Alicia Sacramoan.

[bmuniz1983]

How do I make it seem that way? It came out of your mouth! You are such a loser that gets joy out of spreading gossip and spewing hate towards people. You talk like they are your best friends.

You know nothing about their personal life so you need to stop talking junk. Have some respect. And if you don't know what it means, look it up!

[GymnasticsAddict]

What the hell are you doing on here, anyway? It seems like all you do is comment gymnastics videos and bash the gymnasts in them! If you don't like gymnastics, then please just avoid watching these videos and stop retorting with negative comments! I've seen at least five comments from you today, and one of them was on Shantessa Pama, who is an AMAZING gymnast!

[smiFromBelarus]

Shantessa pama, amazing? lol! Maybe in Sri Lanka but not in the USA. She is not even on the National Team. I love gymnastics and am a coach so I will post whatever I want.

[GymnasticsAddict]

She wasn't on the National Team because of her foot injury. It she wasn't injured, I'm positive she would have been put on it.

[smiFromBelarus]

They are using the "injury" as an excuse to save face for a lackluster gymnast that was hyped from the get go. Even if she is injured why did she not show up in the camps at ALL this year? there was other girls injured at camp doing whatever they could and working hard to try to make themselves to the Team. Had she gone to a camp or two she might have been able to petition to the National Team. Pama is tired old news!

[GymnasticsAddict]

Think whatever you want, but if you haven't noticed, Tessa is loved by many of the gymnastics fans out there. We don't care what you think, so you might as well stop commenting every one of her videos and bashing her.

[Chrisbe433]

Are you Alica Sacramone by any chance? I heard she was VERY jealous of Shawn.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Maybe she didn't sho up because she didn't want to make the injury worse. Have you heard about Lyasan Utiasheva?

[nsgravitygirl818]

i feel bad for the gymnasts you coach, your a bitch

[smiFromBelarus]

Some of the greatest choaches ever like Bela/Marta Korola, Mariana Bitang, Belu, Ostapenko and Donna Strouss are very bitchy liek myeslf, im sure I will one day be great like them.

[nsgravitygirl818]

sure they produced olympians, but think about the girls, they had eating disorders and kristie phillips tried to commit suicide, so maybe you should think about the girls instead of yourself

[smiFromBelarus]

hmmm, an eating disorder cant be totaly blamed on the coach there are many other aspects like the media and family that factor into that. did Linsey Lohan and Nikole Ritchey do gymnastics? Some have said that Svetlana Khorkina had an eating disorder(which is total bs), was the because of Boris Pilkin?

[nsgravitygirl818]

i'm not going to bother talking to you because yoi just don't get it

[smiFromBelarus]

You are the one that is an ignorant American. Dont forget there is also "nice" coaches that have had gymnasts with eating disorders, you cant blame an eating disorder strictly on the coach.

[mylilbit6]

there are coaches who can be a little bitchy but that is not how they coach they do what needs to be done sometimes to push the athlete or even be gentle depending on the circumstances. If you are a straight out bitch I don't see much success in your future. That is just not how it works.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Being a coach doesn't give you the excuse to post whatever you want.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Ever heard of bipolar disorder???? LOL, in any case I doubt she even has that.

[dzzz80]

Lol...smi: You're just not too bright, are you? lol!! You DO realize that, because of your behavior on YouTube, you can easily get fired from your job as a coach, right? Hahahaha! Obviously not. lol

[smiFromBelarus]

"It must have been a very slow week", that ladies and gentlemen is the quote of non other than Alicia Sacramone when she found out Shawn was chosen for person of the week.

[kwijuice]

yea right. what's your source?

[sareliz86]

Seriously, what's your source? And Even if she said it, maybe it was more of a comment about how gymnastics NEVER gets covered, and not a jab at Shawn. Grow up.

[sareliz86]

So gossip then, is your source. And clearly things that happen in Providence/Boston make it to Dallas without any twists or changes in the story, and clearly it wasn't just made up by somebody who doesn't like that Alicia made herself a lock for 2008 at these worlds.

[meggles8813]

do you just realize what you wrote?

"...told us this in order to prove alicia is a bad sport"

if this guy has a problem with alicia, which im assuming he does if he wants everyone thinking shes a bad sport, chances are he made that quote up or took it dramatically out of context

[soapygirl83]

SMI is a troll. Move along folks.

[marsf30]

she was being sarcastic! Gymnastic doesn't get that much press all of the time. I serious dout she was sexual abused.

[smiFromBelarus]

No, she is just Jealous of Shawn. Alicia and Nastia hate shawn. They also dont like Chellsie.

[celticsfan2012]

What are you talking about? There all on the same team. Did you watch them at the team competition?

[smiFromBelarus]

But when it comes to individual medals they compete agaitns each other. Look up :2007 Alicia ef floor" notice her reaction when she realizes shawn beat her out of gold.

[smilescyrus777]

where is that?

[ClayBabe6]

she's so down to earth. i love it.

[bobbalishous]

Look @ her wit the football team!!!! SHES TINY lol

[gymfan82]

Let the over hype begin.

[ClayBabe6]

yes let the hype again, i mean she is a world champion, she should be recognized for her great talent.

[fr3ckles]

Definitely, but I hope that it doesn't have the same effect it had on Kim Zmeskal in 1992...
