[kissingpink7]

omg, this looks like open house at my gym. Do something I can't! be special!

[brookiecookiecheer20]

amazing

[TheTaylor412]

i wish gymnastics did have music with beam (: 

[TwistingAcro]

1:00 That's that HANDSTAND STAG! lol.

[gravyboatK]

These tours are so cheesy. Who would enjoy this but a seven-year-old?

[hamid28683]

@gravyboatK I'm enjoying this very much... but not in the same way that a 7 year old would enjoy it... I'm 26, white, male, perv.

[xxTotallyGawjusxx]

FAVOURITE GYMNAST EVER :D

[GladiolusPrincess]

isn't that her leotard from the 2008 visa championships, that is one of my favourites

[chinghxd]

@GladiolusPrincess yes! it's one of my favourites to!! That one and the red sheer long-sleeved one she wore to the Olympics.

[pxrose]

omg people in gymnastics you wanna be short and have muscle

[Katelinanator]

it doesn`t look lie shes having fun :(

[kenziecole7]

shawn johnson is amzinggg

[isabel31gymnastics]

@saruhe actually a lot of coaches prefer their gymnasts to have their Leos hiked up for competitions and events

[dlgymnastics]

I WAS THERE!!

[glamourousglitters]

why do they make her keep her hair down? it might look good but u can tell shes trying to get it out of her face during the routine

[preppybaby01]

What's the song

[MeganLockleeroffical]

I remember doing that same routine. :D so much fun. <3 quit though

[pelicanus11]

Shes too fat to be a gymanst. its like watching miss piggie doing the splits!

[OhHeyyItsJay]

@pelicanus11 She is OBVIOUSLY too fat to win four Olympic medlas. Three silver and one gold. She's all muscle. I bet you can't even do the splits.

[MISSxoxoxILuvu]

@pelicanus11 shut up! It's called muscle!

[horselover8881]

@pelicanus11 listen u pencil ass i bet u cant do anything that she can do she is amazing

[BeamQueen9802]

@pelicanus11 i would like to see u do that routine i doubt u can even do a handstand

[xemin3mloverzx]

@pelicanus11 listen up pencil dick , i'm about shawn johnsons size and i'm level 8 , so if your gonnn' be hating on her , then you might as well go try do to half of the shit she can do , so Cool Story Broo , Tell It Again . ;)

[pelicanus11]

i remember when gymnasts used to be lean, limber and Romanian!!!

[chinghxd]

i absolutely love that GK leotard she's wearing. i'm fairly sure she wore it at the 2008 Visa champs on day 2 or something. one of my favourites of hers. love her here! she is so powerful yet so graceful. i mean look at those landings! amazing =). i cant' wait to see her compete again this year!

[sarahpbear]

i love her hair!

[saruhe]

I love the gymnastics, but I can't get past how high cut her leo is. It bothers me how these teenage girls go in public with their leos riding up over their hip bones and simultaneously going up... elsewhere...

[baxter7049]

she is so good omg:)

[Jessicakingxxxx]

looks like shawn got her leo from alpha factor ;)

[kutiecheer97]

I loveeee thy Leo!!!!

[mynumberisyouwish]

well you moslty dont notice but balance beams are really high ! on competitions you don't see that but when you see a balance beam apartly you really can see it ;d

[mariana4gymnastics]

the problem with her being short is that she doesn’t look as graceful as Nastia Liukin , for example

[tajc49]

when your shorter you have a better advantage when doing flips. and i love shawn because shes very strong, she is always so balanced. she just sticks the landing. her on beam is the best :)

[miizCouTURE]

in gymnastics its better 2 b short jus look at every one on da chinese team u hav more power in ur flips dat way dats y they call shawn da powerbomb n nastia da artistic gymnast

[sydflips10]

I LOVE YOU SHAWN JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[john1801rambo]

I think she has fantastic legs!

[marifnickj]

that is weird but she is so awsome!!!

[TheAzngymnast1]

@hardrocker899 actually, gymnasts do gain weight from muscles.......

[TheAzngymnast1]

I like Shawns better than nastia's beam routine. It has mire gymnastics in it

[gcharlottefan1]

her mount was freaken crazy!

[mmhscheer11]

and you do know i wasn't talking about shawn right ?

[mmhscheer11]

Shawn is amazing! lol.....but yet you don't see her in the Olympics right ? @anelfintheforest

[anelfintheforest]

No offence to Shawn but my cousin who is younger than her can do that exact thing on a beam

[ZaFluxZe]

Hello? This is a performance and they have music, time etc to go according to. You SO DO NOT know whatcha talking abt.

[ZaFluxZe]

Plus she didnt tie her hair which is quite a challenge and distraction

[LoveBat24]

thats cuz this isnt the olympics. its just so she could have fun instead of doin this to compete

[xoxPatriots83ily]

@anelfintheforest This was performance that she did after the Olympics. She wasn't doing her hardest skills, this was just to entertain fans who came to the show. Not to show why she won an Olympic gold medal on beam. Go watch her beam routine from an actual competition (the Olympics, the Olympic trials, the American Cup, Visas, Worlds, etc) I doubt your cousin could do that.

[drilldancer]

Wow, I loved that pose that she did on her hands.

[addacdd]

yeah she does look calm

[xxAbErCrOmBiExx96]

didn't she wear a leo like this at visa championships??

[flip4gym13]

yeah, i think she did!!

[biccart]

yes it's the same leo

[giaxnicole]

i went to this show but everytime i would try to record the people would be like PUT UR CAMRA'S AWAY! LOL

[Drumergal77]

GREAT ROUTINE! And nice filming the the way, usualy people are all fidity with the camera but you did a great job! I love SHAWN JOHNSON!

[xoGymnastBabexo]

this was the show i was at.

[gymnasticgirl60]

I was there I luv all of them!!!

[GymnastBlood]

she looks soo clam of the beam! she sooo amazing! i love her!

[hardrocker899]

gymnast's do not gain weight unless we sit on the couch all day. and we keep active and cant stay away from the gym. so we will never ever get fat!!

[hardrocker899]

i did do gymnastics with my hair down and its not hardlol

[tatulover2120]

SHE'S REALLY PRETTY but i would never do gymnastics with my hair down

[USANieke]

What is the name of the song?

[WaterEngel4]

@USANieke It's Dreamer by Chris Brown

[Dar0922]

I am not personally a Shawn Johnson fan, but it's nice to see a gymnast who is not a stick. I don't know why everyone is calling her fat, she's a very short little girl with a great deal of muscle. No wonder there are always whispers about weight problems in women's gymnastics. Not everyone is meant to be pencil thin. Why can't people just accept that?

[codlovesnickjayy]

im not trying to call her fat,

but i met her in person when i saw this tour in chicago,

and she is chunkier than she was in the olympics,

but it was probably cause she was eating more and not working out as much,

but im not saying shes like FAT. but yeah

[karriiii]

She wouldn't be eating more. As you said your self, she was in the olympics. Training for the olympics would be hard work and she isn't doing all that work anymore. Her metabolism hasn't sorted itself out yet since she'll be going from doing four to six hours a day to pretty much nothing.

Also, she's had a growth spurt as she's gone from 4'9" to 4'11" and that in itself will make her body go a off as well so of course she'll look "fat" but she most certainly won't be.

[Weverly39]

you both dont know what your talking about, she hasent gain weight nor is she fat, she is a chunky muscular, its all muscle.

[gymnast5565]

@Dar0922 shes muscular

[dancer52356]

@Dar0922 There just jealous because she can do something they cant

[kiknthballs]

she has perfect legs , but legs like that will look quite different after she stops compeating and musles either shrink or turn to fat --but until then -enjoy

[HausGaGa]

man being that short must suck.

everyone here is calling her fat, but shes not. shes just really short which makes her look butch.

personally im glad im tall. short is so unattractive. but i mean REALLY short like this. shaws like 16 and 4'8?? wow xD

[kayessgee5]

whats wrong with being short?

[karriiii]

She's 4'11" and growing and people who are short early on will be really tall later.

[tatulover2120]

no shes like 4'9

[PianoRocs]

wow! if shes 4'9, shes EXACTLTY as talls as me!!! yay!

[Meggzinator]

not necisarily.. gymnastics can stunt your growth particularly elite gymnasts. and i have always been short and im not gonna magically grow really tall

[sokstar2000]

hahah she gets off the beam for the reaally hard tricks....hahahahah its so funny

[gymnast63656]

i went to the one in Little Rock AR

[gglovesjersey]

i cant believe i met u n ur team

[onelessheartbeat]

i went to the one in st.paul mn.

[J5PEN]

you love shawn, kisses

[pinkxo44]

i went to this tour in New Jersey, check out my videos, even though they didnt have sound i was in the first row basically where u are sitting in this

[JENLUVSOTH]

Shawn is not fat, if ur talking about pounds she weighs less than Nastia shawn=90 and Nastia=99 plus she is taller so it makes her look lean but if they sat on something; nastia woulds crush it faster than shawn.

[jaszmina9]

I feel like it must be really hard to do at beam routine like that with your hair down!!! I love Shawn!!

[iwatchyutube]

i was thinking that too!

[tgcgymnasticsgirl]

she's only 90 pounds!

[mariafsn]

Poor her I know how she felt her leo was almost all the way in her but that happened to me in my first meet and even tho my routines were good I wouldnt stop touching my leo and they took of points :@ anyway shes so profetional she didnt touch her leo ones!! plus she did an awsome routine <3

[lafo93]

i just realised thats probably where ashleyakaflipper got the song for her montage :)

[hollyhalstead]

that was beautiful. She is an amazing person.

[CYUNME]

wow she is short but all musle

[futuremrsphelps]

Shawn is not fat at all! She barely has any fat on her body! She is short with a bulky and stocky build. All of that is muscle. I don't think she could do 3 minute long routines, jumping 7 feet in the air doing multiple flips, and incredible running passes AND be fat. She has as much muscle in her torso area as a 5'5 person (and she is 4'9) so yeah, it might look like she is fat, but she isn't. If she had the exact same waist and was a foot taller, then you wouldn't be calling her fat.

[cpandrs]

yeah also she weighs under 100.

[jennifer78676]

shes not fat its that she has strong muscles

[Natalie1282]

come on people...she is hardly fat. she just has a diffrent build then nastia..nastia is long and lean. shawn is shorter and has a diffrent body type

[gymnast2182]

okay well first shawn is sooo not fat! shes like 70-90 pounds! THAT IS SKINNY! second you are so lucky you got to go to the gymnastics tour! and third i luv shawn thank you for posting this!

[GymDog990]

its funny cause you are calling her fat when she is what? only like 100 pounds?

And there are people out there weighing 700 pounds!!!

Please just leave Shawn alone! She is not fat!!!

And you know what?!

If you dont like her thats fine!

But no1 else wants to here your horrible and rude comments.

just leave them to yourself

because every1 knows that shawn is perfectly fine for her height and age,

and your comments aren't going to change ANYONE'S mind

[111JRP111]

agreed. i would like to see how out of shape everyone is who is calling shawn fat. the person who said look at shawns leg at :59 thats muscle not fat idiot. maybe u would no the difference if you had a little muscle. AND the only reason shawn looks heavier than nastia is because shes 4'10. put her at nastias hieght they would have the same body

[ashbriv]

sum it up to this people are stupid, people are jelous, and people who can only dream about doing half the stuff shawn can do turn to critizing her because its easier!

[xogymgalox]

lucky!!! she got to go!!!!!!!!

[gymnast7225]

She is so pretty! I love her hair! Thanks for posting.

[GymDog990]

how dare you think shes fat! She is PERFECT! And personally she is only 4"10! and 16. you cant expect her to be AS skinny as nastia who is MUCH taller and older.

Shawn is perfect, and most of whatever YOU call fat is MUSCLE

So GymKym is right, i hope your words NEVER reach Shawn. She does not need to here your useless words.

[mtmigoi]

Shawn Johnson is NOT fat!!! She's just a big ball of muscle. Maybe she's a little but chubbier now, but after the olympics you can't expect her to stay EXACTLY the same!

[addicted2gym8990]

well i dont think thats the case, i just think shes plain fat.

i mean look at nastia then look at shawn

shawn is so much bigger

and pause at 0:59....

cant you see that fat bulge in her leg!? Now thats just plain gross!

[gymkym]

Perhaps you should take a moment to google Christy Henrich. Christy was a beautiful gymnast who listened to some dumb ass judge tell her she could lose some weight. And she did....until she died.

That bulge in her leg is massive muscle on a very short frame. Hopefully your careless and painful words will never reach her inbox.

[cutigymnast2]

You know that bulge in her leg? It's a little something called muscle!

[bamagymnast94]

Addicted2gym8990

What are you talking about? There is no fat on Shawn's body. She is amazingly muscular. What are you thinking? The pause at 0:59, thats a huge muscle in her leg. How in the world can you think she is fat?

[olympicfreak13]

its called: nastia is like a foot taller than shawn!!!!!!!!!

[gymgam123]

She's maturing you guys, give her a break! She's not fat in the slightest, that's just the way she's built.

[addicted2gym8990]

well she is not really in olympic shape anymore, i hope she doesnt get any bigger than this! come on shawn.....dont eat yourself to death just because the olympics are over. STAY FIT!

[addicted2gym8990]

ew....she looks kinda fat here

[bridgetGRRR]

wow. WOW.

[Jessicaz2910]

its cos her hair is out. i think...

[shoppinglipstick]

What a well deserved treat after all you hard work for tops:) Congrats on the A team Marley is trilled for you! for some reason it drives Mar crazy when Shawn has her hair down while doing gymnastics:( I guess cause they were taught for safety they always need there hair up at gym! Thanks for sharing:)

[emer8nica]

Thanks Mara! This was actually two weeks before tops:) Do you know Marley and Nica have texted and called each other? It's too cute :)

[shoppinglipstick]

I was so suprised when she told me she talked to her its to cute. I knew they'd hit it off if they ever met now it makes me sad she didn't make the tops team with Nica they'd have had a blast. I can't wait to see the pictures of them together! She said Nica's so cute and petite:)

[emer8nica]

Don't be sad, it was a great accomplishment for Marley to make National testing. Tell her to work extra hard this next 12 months and she will make it next year :) Marley and Nica will get to see each other again at the AOGC meet. Make plans to go to Universal Studios and we'll go with you, we have passes :) I'll send the pictures soon!

[gymgirl115694]

I wish i waz going!

[snoboardr7]

[flippinxgymnast]
