Olympic Gymnast Shawn Johnson to retire?

Olympic Gymnast Shawn Johnson talks to CNN's Erin Burnett about her decision to retire at age 20.

I really wanted to watch her in the olympics this year you will always be loved and looked up to Shawn

[@Amelia_sf]

you are honestly so rude! Shawn had such an awesome career in gymnastics! Any gymnast would kill to have had all the opportunities that Shawn had. She had such great skill and she showed it. Obviously when you stop training vigorously like you do in gymnastics you will gain some weight. It is perfectly normal for all people!

Replying 10 years later I completely agree it is not fair and very rude 😢

she's not even old enough to drink yet her career is over... being a gymnast is so sad.

[@hamstein]

Lol her face at that question! What kind of a question was that!?

[@ChunkyChest]

I love the non-rhetorical question "do you think that the near suicidal excruciatingly painful self deprecating work out is good ?". Main stream media, gotta love it..

[@southport97]

She just gonna do commentary from now on and be a sportscaster while dunking Oreos in chocolate milk during the commercials.

[@southport97]

She's just using this as an excuse to get fat again.

[@ajimenez1719ify]

Hmmmm....do you have an issue with worrying about getting fat yourself? Does it scare you or are you already overweight and are ashamed? I would guess the latter due to your not putting a picture of yourself up as your profile picture.
