Mary Lou Retton on Shawn Johnson

[cranberychips]

yea she wasn't fat u can't b a fatty and be doing all that

For a "fat" girl she's really great and did quite well at the olympics

Seems like some of you people have fatty issues AHAHA

[Planetimage2]

Did you see Nastia RECENTLY? Her face is like a pig's circular ass.

[squishyfroggie]

she's super short and there isn't a milligram of fat on her body.

[msms68]

shes true about shawn being good on all 4 events shes a little weak on bars but because of her dismount shes great at them

[BAULMOVEMENT]

very sweet juicy ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigzwest2007]

well when your mary lou retton you can say that...you do what she did and see how you feel about yourself

[dstilley11]

I love that she says "and she would probably same the same thing" in reference to their comparison. arrogant much?? who the hell says that?? Lol

[EltBerserker]

rule 34 of retton and johnson

[toomuchgoingon]

"i've been waiting for a girl like you"

[connster9700]

Gee, that's a wonderful way to show respect for the woman who paved the way for gymnasts like Shawn and Nastia. Classy!

[wcduke]

Why so negative? What did Mary Lou Retton ever do to you? Sheesh, some people just like to be mean.

[LilMissCheye]

shawn isnt fat at all.

shes all muscle.

whoever said shes fat needs their eyes checked.

all MUSCLE!!!!!

[vontrappster]

@LilMissCheye

shawn is a fat bitch

[kiwigymnast16]

@vontrappster its called muscle and i'm sure that she has more than you have. she was SIXTEEN and she has more muscle and many many many people. shes probably one of the fittest people in the world like ALL OLYMPIC ATHLETES. if she were fat i don't think that she wouldve been in the olympics

[kiwigymnast16]

@vontrappster would you SHUT UP i am 12 years old i don't want to see someone saying that to me! she put on a little weight because she stopped training but shes still not overweight. chill out

[XXHollandsHopeXX]

@vontrappster you are a complete idiot.

[S0cC3rP1mP]

Everyone who says she is fat is retarded. She is more athletic than 95% of the people posting overall and 100% of the people calling her fat. But Mary Lou is right about the Olympics being short. Really, Olympic gymnasts train their whole lives for usually just 16 days as they most likely won't compete in another Olympic games unless if they are lucky and make 2.

[oursongisawesome]

she has hot abs

[Petermax99]

Get your eyes bud checked I have watching her on Dancing with the stars for the last 6 weeks she looks in pretty good shape to me.

[TrgtTony]

for those of you that dont think shes fat now. you all better wake up. when she was in the olympics she was in great shape. now that shes not training, she el porko.

[TheTravelBug89]

Um....it's called muscle.

[gymshiv]

nope, she has gained wheight, in gymnastics she was in absolutely AMAZING shape, muscle and everyhting, absolutely impeccible, but now...now, she is pretty chubby, she'll get back in shape in the gym though, then she will be FABULOUS at everything once again :)

[Zamolodchikovafan16]

I don't think chubby's the right word I think she just looks normal now rather than really really really thin but muscular

[gymshiv]

yeah good point i think it's just that evryone (including myself) is used to seeing her in optimum fitness as a gymnast and now her normal wheight is different.

[moopoo66]

@TrgtTony fuck you, you asshole! She's not el porko at all! Just because she's not 89 pounds doesnt mean she's fat! She's not training every single day anymore, she grew and now she is normal weight, acually still underweight, she's 5 feet and she is maybe 95 pounds! Get a grip on yourself! Your just another jealous asshole

[therandjshow1818]

@moopoo66 actualy shes 4 foot 9 but i agree with you on everything else

[nikkiskg]

Shawn is just amazing, so adorable, sweet and tiny, but the competition sure found out how amazing she really is, love to watch her, tks so much for posting these!! nikki

[kkok17]

that was great advice and wisdom

[ShawnJhonson4life]

shawn johnson is the best gymnast ever!!!

[mka800]

I think Shawn looks like Chyna in a leotard.

[blitzkriegstomp]

Mary Lou! What a great roll model for all girls not just gymnast.

[whentheraincomes16]

I personally think Shawn is the better gymnast, and I love her build. She is buff...

And Mary Lou Retton...such a sweet, wonderful person. :)

[GirlzWhoRock5]

shawn ROCKS

[rangel20]

Someone likes their Foreigner music enough to play it loud (not that I'm complaining:)).

[jennyluvsgym]

the other thing is, people have different body types. and until you are training at an olympians level in any sport, dont talk about their body types and how one sport is harder than the other and this sport gives you stronger legs and blah blah blah. though different sports work different muscles, every sport is hard in its own way, ESPESCIALLY at the olympic level.

[jennyluvsgym]

okay, this is an attempt to get everyone to shut up about shawns legs. she is beautful, healthy, and has strong, NOT FAT, legs. that is that.

[Bleachon9]

whoever say nastia lukin sucks!!

im with them

[steppingrock]

You're in the minority because most of what I have seen and read seems positive towards Nastia Liukin. People simply love Nastia Liukin! Remember she is the better gymnast, better looking, and with all certainty has a nicer body.

Sorry

[Bleachon9]

so.....u look at person's body and appearance before u look at their skills?

i am sorry but i think ur taste is bad

just because nastia lukin is russian that doesnt mean shes pretty.......

[Bazzaman111]

To be fair, Nastia has a much nicer body but SHawn has the face of an angel, so screw all of yall

[Sarahlove98]

nastia is very pretty and she won all-around in the OLYMPICS wat is so wrong with that

[reikari00]

I agree with everyone who's said that Shawn Johnson is FIT.

[blackfalcon45]

whats the name of that song in the backround?

[alg573]

I've been waiting(for a girl like you)-by Foreigner

[weeltech]

cagon america

[Komebackid510]

Shawn FTW!

[Sgt4stars]

omg are u guys idiots her legs are big cuz there ALL muscles

[tati1231]

Shawn? FAT?

Whoever said that is crazy

[jzev]

Her bmi is 19, so she's nowhere near fat.

[Bleachon9]

stupid ppl think thts fat

i play soccer but i got addictedd to gymnastic when i see shawn<33

iloveyou hunny(shawn)

[joanxdavies]

Oh wow your a soccer player what does that prove? My brothers plays soccer,rugby,cricket and he does athletics but it doesnt prove anything. Shes muscle and you know that but your just winding every1 up so im not gonna bother.

[ju33fr]

In the address, erase the "s" of photos, and replace it by : /0c3Jegdf91emO

Or use the searching tool.

(sorry for my english I am a french boy.)

Shawn is a wonderful Olympic gymnast, and her legs are as fat as my fingers.

[ju33fr]

I can't enter the link, so go on daylife : photo, then write this after the address : /0c3Jegdf91emO

[ju33fr]

Go to see this photo ans say me what do you think about her legs! :

[kavor]

wow u guys r a joke for saying anything bad about shawn johnson for starters that is muscle shes 4*9 90 pounds and in great shape just cuz shes not overly thin like most female gymnasts and has more muscle and strengh than them does not mean she is out of shape not to mention she is such a nice and cool girl and she is fricken gourgeos total hottie/cutie and shes normal unlike most stars and obviously she is in good shape if shes winning olympic golds and silvers and the 2007allaround worldchamp

[piratesmvp]

Who cares what her body form is? She's said in many different interviews that she eats healthily. Go watch the interview she had with Ellen last year (it's on youtube). She says on there that she had 1 measly little Krispy Kreme donut and acted as if she had 10 donuts or something. Also, her coach would have told her if she was over-weight. And finally, regardless of her body size, she is very good, so whatever she's doing, it's obviously working, so there's no room for anyone to criticize.

[0mgzc0ol]

and stop comparing gymnastics to soccer!

is shawn johnson a soccer player? NO.

she is an olympic GYMNAST gold medalist.

[prettyface789]

did u know, cheerleading and gymnastics are the hardest sports. Gymnastics really explains ita self!!! But cheer is you talk while exercizing!!! thats tough, no jk jk

[ky487487487]

shawn is the champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lutheran122]

Wow there are a lot of morons on here eh? Shawn is friggin ripped , those legs of hers are perfectly muscled..trust me there is not an ounce of fat on the girl. Morons...

[ky487487487]

GOOD

[TruongTrieu]

Shawn Johnson is the best.

[GoMiddleEast]

Shawn Johnson isn't as tall as Nastia or the other Romanian and Chinese gymnists and so her muscles are more visable. And I can't believe that you are insulting such a top notch gymnastics star. I don't see YOU on the Olympic team and I'll bet that wasn't you who took gold on the balance beam, was it? Thought so.

[samacycline]

No it was not and it was not you either! The difference is I am in shape and I know how differentiate between fat and muscle!

Shawn Johnson does not have the body of a gymnist. Her face looks nice however.

[Casperthedopestghost]

haha, stupid. she would not have that pop if she wasnt all muscle. You think you can measure up to an olympian? even someone who barely qualifies, she is dominant. silly fool.

[samacycline]

I am a soccer player, my legs and thigs are far more muscular than any gymnist you stupid shit head but then again what do you know about soccer! When I tell you her inner thighs are fat just believe it for it might do you some good you dim-witted 20 year old!

[cledasmurf]

omg you people make me SICK

you cant do what she does

so dont hate, my god

[Casperthedopestghost]

well... i do play varsity soccer at a colleigate level... so I would say I know at least a little. You probably play for some shitty team because you couldnt cut it at the pro level and you couldnt do anything else. Why would me thinking she has fat on her legs do me any good, tard? And what good does hatin on a 16 year old whos more athletic than you do you? Olympians, especially in individual sports, are in top physical condition, period. I am sorry that you're jealous; wait, no im not.

[samacycline]

your comeback sucks. And if you were a soccer palyer truley, you would know that soccer players have the best legs and the highest stamina because they have to sprint in spurts.

I played for the US Air Force and scored many goals until I had an ACL injury. My body fat was 5% and now 10% because I am older. Why would I be jealous? I don't hate on, that is incorrect; you either hate or you like, "on" is extra word, unnecessary.

[Casperthedopestghost]

If you werent a retard you would understand your place on the athletic ladder, you would understand that 'hate on' is an expression as valid as any new york or southern slang, and that nobody cares about comebacks, its amazing to me that you could be old enough to be out of college. I'm younger than you and even I am amazed by your immaturity.

[Buttscum]

haha, samacycline- do you notice how all your comments get rated as crap?

it is because you are a stupid twit who knows NOTHING about the human body. shawn johnson isn't the slightest bit fat. her legs are strong and shapely. the outfits the girls wear would show any fat rolls if she had them. you can't hide it in those outfits. she has beautiful legs. just becuase agirl doesn't have bony supermodel type legs doesn't mean she is fat. no one ever makes it on any major gymnastics team being fat!

[samacycline]

Nice user ID! Butt and scum means you are a piece of Excrement. I am glad you have described yourself accurately. I bet you are fat as well and have thunder thighs! What do you know about the human body? Tell me, what are the compartments of the leg muscles, what innervates them and what are their blood supplies? What is the inner thigh area called and how much fascia is there in females? Exactly, you don't know moron.

[alexgym09]

shawn is by no means fat. but she does have more body fat than your average gymnast

look at her parents' bodies

generally people whose bodies are more prone to storing fat are also more prone to storing muscle if that makes sense

for example, look at shawn and jon horton's parents. they are overweight thus shawn and jon are genetically bigger, thus have the potential of storing more muscle mass. compare them to nast and sasha, whose mothers are rhythmic gymnasts and they do not store muscle

[cpandrs]

DUDE shawn weights under 100 i read it...

[ihatetriangles]

she also under 5 feet tall...

not like shes 6 feet tall and skin and bones...

[sourlemon1k]

no heard she got really fat now.

[luvkate25]

really???r u serious???where did u hear that???

[joylynn45]

its not fat on her legs its called muscle

[0mgzc0ol]

ew.

who the hell are you, and who crowned you king?

shawn johnson has the EXACT body of a gymnast. i AM a gymnast and i would know.

different people have different bodies, no one asked you if you are in shape. and who cares if your opinion SAYS that you can differentiate between fat and muscle?

shawn johnson is the epitome of perfect gymnast body, so quit talking.

[samacycline]

I think Shawn Johnson is overweight! And so was Mary Lou in 1984.

[Dementra]

Wtf. It's called muscle you douche.

[samacycline]

No, there is a difference between muscles and fat. Maybe to you they are muscles but to the rest of the world they are not! Nastia Liukin, Russian, Romanian, and Chinese Gymnists have muscles, they look like gymnists not cows!

[Buttscum]

wow first came dumb then came you. she is not the slightest bit fat!. those gymnasts you mentioned are ugly anorexic twigs. just because a woman doesn't have stick legs does not mean she is fat.

[samacycline]

Buttscum?!!! That is an intelligent user name! That in itself tells everyone you're dumb and fat too. Those girls are what gymnists should look like not chuncky with lard inter thighs.

[favsis]

you seem fixated on weight. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; however, I can't help but be reminded of teenage eating disorders and how jealous petty comments like yours fuels young people's anxieties. This talented, HEALTHY young lady has worked hard her entire young life to earn the medals she deserves; she didn't earn your insults that stem from your inferiority complex. maybe you should seek help instead of trying to bring others down to your level?

BTW That little body is all muscle

[alg573]

That's right!

[brambo258]

The 88 pounds she weighs, is most muscle

[samacycline]

Not in the inner-thigh area my dear, you can liposuck at least 4 pounds from that area!

[tigerbait134]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hah

[alexgym09]

wow now she must feel dumb

[brucestringbean]

Mary Lou Rhetton is a DAMN smart woman

[XXshankstaXX]

Shes HOT!!! :-)

[videostud4]

i sure hope ur talking bout shawn johnson.

[gugalaga]

If Mary Lou Retton said it was an honor to be compared to me as a gymnast I would feel SO honored! I am a gymnast myself and Shawn Johnson is my idol.

[BucketOfWormsGirl]

about my comment below i meant 2nd

[BucketOfWormsGirl]

omg i am so glad i found this video thanks i have been wondering what mary lou retton looked like and now she is talking about my 2nd favorite gymnast awesome

[lovelieladie16]

mary lou is amazing. i love shawn johnson.

[icebabe75]

ML Retton won the Olympics in a weird edition where not everybody, especially the best, were there. She must know that her win was a chance, would she had won without the boycot ? Maybe no, but what can she do ? She was there as an athlet and won. She didn't decide of the boycott. Now she can't say she was lucky and didn't really deserve the gold, she just should be modest, not compares herself with today's athlets who compete in a much tougher field than she did.

[alexgym09]

the REAL 1984 Olympic Champion was Olga Mostepanova. EVERYBODY knows that

[Fireleigh]

shut the hell up alexgym09...moron

[dreamissbehaved]

why the fuck are you watching this then?

[alexgym09]

i am watching it because it is about shawn johnson, not because of mary lou

I will repeat my words: OLGA MOSTEPANOVA was the REAL 1984 Olympic Champion

MLR only won because of the boycott and had significantly less competition because the soviets were not there. she became olympic champion but she wasn't competiting against the best in the world. mostepanova was the best in the world scoring four perfect tens in the alternate games

[nattybug338]

dont be a hater

[dragolas]

Let me repeat my words.......Mary Lou Retton was the winner of the 1984 OLYMPICS......OLGA MOSTEPANOVA was a joke.

[nonSteel]

Soviet Russia sucks

[Sammoab]

And your saying all this to compare to MLR's 10.0 finish? Thats basically...the best.

[alexgym09]

mostepanova had FOUR perfeect 10s in the alternate games. and she did it with the artistry that mary lou lacked

[Buttscum]

jeez, you are really bitter about that huh?

nobody cares about your stupid, crappy commie games!! i don't care how many perfect 10's olga got. those judges were nothing but puppets of the soviet empire and did what they were told... or else. hell, i think i'll just start my own alternate games and award myself all the golds and be the best ever!!

you argument holds zero merit.

you have just been defeated!

[violaroadkill]

olga got no tens...

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

She should have

[izunigajr0]

how about winning a gold at a fully attended olympics. mary lou you suck and also lucky to win a gold medal

[twilliger123]

You suck for saying that, asswipe!

[SkittlzAnKomboz]

Tough shit for those of you who don't think Mary Lou Retton doesn't "deserve" the gold medal. It's on the books, it's official. Romania was still at those Olympics, and they were the power-house in gymnastics at that time. She still won.

The Soviets knew what they were doing, and they still chose to boycott (for stupid reasons). Not her fault - give her the credit she deserves!

[SkittlzAnKomboz]

As well, in those days, the "perfect 10" was not subjective. It's wasn't "Okay, she gets a 10 compared to this other gymnast's performance". A 10 is a 10, and she received two - floor and vault.

The Soviets not being there had nothing to do with those scores.

[jaszmina9]

This woman is so smart and well spoken!

[usagurl14]

wow that was a great interview. Mary lou is amazing!

[cwgcGymnast]

so true!!!

[SarahJaaaaane]

i hope shawn or nastia win the all around..infact probably nastia more because she missed the age thing last olympics and to be honest i dont think she will be there in 2012 and shawn will probably get another chance at the olympics sooo yeah

but if either of them win i will be pleased

even though im from great britain

:)

[cwgcGymnast]

NAH

it all cums dwn to hu deserves it the most

and SHAWN DUZ SIMPLE AS BBY!

[azninasiti]

Didn't the romanian gymnastics team from yesteryears used to lied to everybody that they trained only 3 to 4 hours a day? Whoever thought that this lie would've come true? Now, our current favourite gymnast is Shawn Johnson and she trains only 3 to 4 hours a day. Does anyone agree?

[alexgym09]

correction she used to train 4 hours a day and 5 hours on the weekend - that was last year; she modified her schedule this year with school and everything so she trains much more this year cause it's olympic year

[Grubenpony12]

Amazing!

[reallydorky4life]

xhe was just warming up- she does do a whip triple

[999natasha]

I thought she did a whip triple

[thomasliuchapelhill]

GO ALICIA SACROMONE!

[christopherbulang]

vool langweilig

[liukin95]

great video;) i would really like shawn and nastia to be in the AA finals in beijing i dont like chelsie to be in it.

[gymnastics9120]

wow great vid hey cheack out my profil

[xohollymichelle]

i love marylou (:

shes one of the most

awesome people i know (:

[evankimbell0710]

i live 25 miles away from shawn. :P but i don't know her, i do know where in des moines she lives!!!

she is awesome though God bless her.

[xohollymichelle]

haha, thats awesome.

we live near marylou,

like twenty minutes away.

and ive been to her house

and know her personally,

shes an awesome person

[430ryan]

I bet she has a nice house?

[evankimbell0710]

well, actually right now, its looks rather middle class, but i bet there will be plenty of upgrades after the olympics and with all the endorsements.

haha. perhaps if i go visit her ill let you know. maybe i might have a good nice time as well.

[430ryan]

If she wins the Olympics i wouldn't be surprised if her and her family left Iowa. That would make a lot of people upset, because of all the time and money they put into helping and honoring shawn.

i don't shawn is ill, she pretty healthy to me!

[kramah42]

Why would they want to leave Iowa?

[tamaloue]

I wana do the same thing!!!

I will work I promess!!!

have a nice day ;)

[matt00016]

perfect whip triple.. she's capable of doing like this in beijing, im sure about that ^^

[alexgym09]

that is a whip double

[matt00016]

ive seen her doing it perfectly once.. thats true, its a whip double
