Shawn Johnson

I was watching Shawn Johnson competting in the Beijing Olympics.She was in the gymnastics when she was just running and she had bounced of the tramp and went straight onto the balance beam.She looked very focused and took her time .She put her hand out then she done a neat flip.
Shawn Johnson is a gymnast that never fears.She was born in West Des Monies 1992.At the age of three Shawn Johnson started doing gymnastics.At the moment she is 16.She's a gymnast that keeps her diet on track.In her ten minute brake she always ate her favorite fruit which are strawberry's.Her training is four hours a day.She does a 50min work out on each event like push-ups,sit ups and also squat jumps.
Shawn loved gymnastics that she always put more hours and learned more skills and concentrated.She listened to her coach and was never fearless.
She lets people vote for her on her website.She gets support by her family, fans and especially her coach.You can also vote for her T.V from the people who sponsor her.
Through her life there has been heaps of sacrifices.She couldn't spend much time with her family because she would be training most of the time.She doesn't only miss out time with her family but with friends.She misses time with friends going out at times.Shawn Johnson spends more time at the gym working out.

Nadia Comaneci

Nadia waited quietly and nervoussly.The crowd was silent looking on the board waiting for the score from Nadia's last routine but when the board had flashed a one the crowd went wild because Nadia had scored a perfect ten.
Nadia was born in Romania 1961.She had started gymnastics when she was six years old and won lots of medals in 1976 in the Montreal Olympics held in Canada.In the Montreal Olympics she won three gold medals,one silver and one bronze.She scored 7 10s in the Montreal Olympics and it was also the first time that anyone had scored a ten.The Moscow Olympics in Russia 1980 she got two gold medals and two silver.
She trained six days a week and four hours a day.She would go to the gym early and started to do her exercize again without complaining.She was a very energetic gymnast.She liked jumping and sprinting that she broke four of her couches by jumping on it and it broke the springs on the chair. She also had to watch her diet.Nadia had to have healthy food to be fit and to build her muscles.
