So since I'm so completely obsessed with olympic gymnastics (mostly because im insanely jealous and wish i could do that stuff), I've become a big fan of Shawn Johnson. I wanted to know a little bit more about her personally, so naturally, I googled her and came across her official website, which appears to be run by her. While I was just browsing around this website, I discovered that not only is she insanely good at gymnastics, shes very creative. She's written some really good poems. You guys should go check em out at shawnjohnson.net/inspiration/poems.aspx . The first one called "Champion" is absolutely incredible. P.S. She's also got a playlist of songs she really likes, and she put Burnin Up by the Jonas Brothers on there. Shes my new favorite person EVER!

Hah, that was actually really cool to read. While watching the Olympics I couldn't help but notice how smily and cheerful Shawn was even under the pressure of the world watching her. Not only that but she had insane performances too.
Kind of cool to see or read about things from a successful Olympian's perspective.

yeah i loved how when all the other girls were looking all intense, concentrating on the competition, she would turn to the camera, smile and wave. she seems like a very sweet girl. but when you get her on that balance beam.....wow. its ridiculously awesome.

But the one thing we should remember is that we are all human.And while we admire her we should also see the good in the other gymnasts.
Ok enough fuddy duddy old lady talk
