Nastia is like a ballerina tumbling on the beam and floor! Shawn tumbles on the beam like it's the floor! Great stuck landings for Nastia!! On vault, NBC did a quick shot of her dad/coach Valeri, he was really happy! Stuck 1.5 Yurchenko!

Cool hairstyle picts! I like to do ponytail or braid. If I do a bun, first I put it in a ponytail and then wrap it around in a bun, so that if the bun comes out, it will still be in a ponytail. And sometimes, ponytail with a braid, and then bun.

Here's a montage that has really good video clips, showing Shawn conditioning, doing flexibility, practicing and competing. You can get a good idea of what she does. She does press handstands with two floor bars vertical, like doing them on p-bars. "Shawn Johnson. Ready to be Extraordinary!" [youtube]SbkTyomTUHM[/youtube] The first song is Hilary Duff's "To the beat of my heart"; it's nice and[ Read More... ]

That's a pretty outfit! Shawn Johnson had a more intricate hair style in competitions before than a regular ponytail like she does now, with either the side part or not - check it out here in this video montage with clips of her from 2006 and 2005, at time :09 - it's kind of like the Parkettes braid style, with a side part to ponytail: (you view the side and back views of that air style[ Read More... ]

Is the tumbling stipr the tumblers use like in the World Championships tumbling competition different than the one used in artistic gymnastics floor excercise - besides it being a strip instead of a square of course. Looks bouncier. Like maybe the tumbling strip we use in practice? Higher easier tumbling.
