A biography for Shawn Johnsonhasn’t been written yet.
“I know how much more I need to do to be where I want.”
“When I was 3 my parents put me in gymnastics because I was a bundle of energy and they just didn't know what to do with me! They put me in a Tots class and I just fell in love with it.”
“My knee is almost back to normal. I am back in training.”
“It might have been easier to retire, to say my knee couldn't handle it and let that be that. At the same time, the prospect of not being able to compete in gymnastics anymore was heartbreaking.”
