Three Amazing Performances...Three Silver Medals....What more can you ask from a 16 year old gymnast who really lights up the floor with her smile and amazing athleticism. As well even if she doesnt win a gold this tuesday, I still consider her one of the stars of the Olympics with the way she kept her composure on not even getting one gold...
Sacramone blew it in teams, Nastia was a "storybook" win being the fact that her dad couldnt seal the deal 20 years ago in Mens Team Comp in Russia... Nastia had to get that Deja Vu win though Nastia deserved it... And just yesterday the World Champ in Floor, Shawn Johnson somehow got 2nd. It doesnt help the fact that she started first as well but thats politics of the sports that I really dont know much about with who goes first.. Judges tend to score low though with the first couple competitors, one can only imagine if she had gone last....
All the excuses and possibilities aside at the end of the day Shawn Johnson has three silver medals but unlike majority of consensus on 2nd place, I dont care about ranks, the fact that shes repping her country, keeping it real and doing what she loves thats being number one in my book....We Gotta Get These Gymnasts in the Yard>?>>>
Might I Add Shes my Number 1 in the whole Olympics and not Phelps....Though he was a beast and deserves a much needed Kudos...
Yahoo Snippets:
""I had a great time out there," Johnson offered.
This is why Johnson was poised to become America's sweetheart, why all the corporations had banked on her, why USA Gymnastics was so proud to put her at the forefront of its promotions.
As good a gymnast as she is, she's something else as a 16-year-old kid. Almost unnervingly nice, she is relentlessly positive, a one-person cheering session of smiles and dimples and big brown eyes."
::::::My favorite quote:::::
Johnson is everything you want from an Olympic athlete, a great American role model. She has a real life, and she goes to a real public school. She isn't one of these robots who trains eight hours a day in the gym.
