Shawn Johnson had so much pent up energy as a child her parents enrolled her in gymnastics when she was three. Her instructor, Liang Chow, saw her potential and pushed her to train until she was old enough to compete in the 2008 Olympics.
She took four medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. She won a gold medal in the women’s balance beam and three silver medals for the women’s gymnastics team, individual all-around, and the floor exercise.
