Shawn Johnson

Athlete Card | Olympics Gymnastics Medal Tracker

After becoming America's fourth ever women's gymnastics world all-around champion in 2007, the then 15-year-old Shawn Johnson warned there would be more to come and switched her gaze firmly on the Beijing Olympics. At those 2007 worlds in Stuttgart, Germany, Johnson upstaged Chinese veteran Yang Wei to win the all-around title. The girl from Iowa went to Stuttgart as a largely unknown newcomer and left as the most titled gymnast of the championships having been part of the gold medal winning U.S. women's team and claiming the 2007 floor gold, despite a penalty for stepping out of bounds. But no sooner had she completed her routines than her aim was focused on next year's Olympics, for which she is training four hours per day on new routines with her coach of ten years standing, Liang Chow, a former captain of China's men's team.
