Shawn Johnson impresses on Balance Beam - from Universal Sports

www.UniversalSp... 2011, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, US Women's National Gymnastics Championship, on the second night, former champ Shawn Johnson continues to improve in her come back, scoring a 14.700.(Watch the full event at UniversalSports.com)

[@saragrant9749]

No one- before or since- and that includes Simone- has ever TUMBLED on the beam like she did or been so consistent. Her 2008 routine was a BEAST, and so beautifully executed time after time.

[@kerstinrieck3648]

Endlich mal jemand der auch S. B. kritisch sieht. Wenn man die Punkte sieht, die Shawn und Nastja erzielt haben, kann Simone sich 2024 nur verstecken. Ich finde, dass sie sehr nachgelassen hat. Für mich ist Simone inzwischen die Beste von den Schlechten. Sie hat unglaubliches geleistet. Aber jetzt macht sie viele Fehler und gewinnt weil sie diesen großen Namen hat. Ich habe sie am Boden gesehen, da ist sie in einer Übung 3 x Mal über den Mattenrand. Abgezogen wurde ihr nur einmal was. Andere Turnerinnen haben dann keine Chance mehr auf eine Medaille. Sie gewinnt.

[@carissaexplainsitall8481]

Agreed. Simone is a little arrogant jn my opinion. This girl was a diamond and is humble

[@saragrant9749]

@@carissaexplainsitall8481 Simone has never been arrogant. She is as humble and honest as a highly successful elite athlete can be. You want arrogant? Try some of our USA swimmers (Michael Phelps for one). Simone definitely doesn’t fit that category.

[@TheMelamia]

This isn't a comment specifically towards Shawn, but I despise all the arm movements they have to include in beam routines. IMO it's over the top and takes away from the grace and flow of gymnastics. Also, it makes me feel like they might break into a cheer at any moment.

[@sdrkelley]

I completely agree, I know they obviously HAVE to do them but I hate the way it looks, it's too awkward to see honestly but they don't get a choice. It's all a bit extra in my opinion

[@Tigerheiress]

If they look like nastia's i think they add a lot

[@Kazeshini6]

lol tbh I have no interest in gymnastics except for all the arm movement and poses I don't know why kind of cool looking

[@spacecop1397]

Yeah. I can understand hand positions and movements as part of a skill, but when they're just standing there waving their hands around? It reminds me of the dance portions of a 1st grade school musical.
