Shawn Johnson (USA) : 2008 Beijing Olympics : EF BB

What does Cheng Fei say to Shawn at 1:50? Does anyone understand?

[bernardmvella]

@inpanopticon I'm guessing it was a congratulations. It said somewhere that Cheng Fei and Shawn got on well and Cheng gifted her with some precious silk to congratulate her for her beam routine.

That was amazing to watch. Just one thing that pisses me off is that her split leaps aren't 180 degrees. It kinda spoils her routines for me a little.

That having been said... Wow...

[bernardmvella]

@AngelicPhantom I paused and she hits them but not properly. She has to use the force and momentum of moving the legs to get them up, not her muscles, joints and ligaments. It means she only reaches complete split for a fraction of the amount of time compared to gymnasts who can do it without using the acceleration from their legs.

@bernardmvella Oookay... Lol I must have blinked and missed it.

[formergymnast12]

has anyone else commented on shawn's two very different eyebrows and the fact that the left one is so much higher than the right one that it looks like she's always raising her eyebrow?

LMAO at Valeri's face. He's so mad.

[humphrey861]

He's upset because both shawn and nastia have been underscored many times

[TinyAva93]

@alexzjay over what? Because Shawn beat his little princess? I don't get what he has to be mad about.
