In my mind, the is the GOAT. Best ever under pressure. I’d chose her to do a final routine to get the points needed to win before I’d choose anyone else. She’s got talent, yes, and skill, yes, but she’s also got a Tom Brady type heart. She’s short. She had to prove herself more than most and then she had to live up to expectations. If she was qb, pinned deep with even Madden saying take a knee, she would have chosen what Brady did, and she did here: she thrived rather than folding under pressure. ❤
I’ve been watching videos like this one for a while now, still very much a novice at this, not knowledgeable at all, but from where I sit, Shawn Johnson here looks stronger and more steady than what I’ve seen if Simone Biles. Something to aspire to.
Truly one of the best beam routines in history I just always seem to come back to this routine and watch it to ease my mind. It's perfection in motion.

Best beam routine I've ever seen.
One of the best beam routines ever. Extraordinary execution and excellent delivery.
Excellent 👍 brilliant,… Great job !!!!!
Wow. That was phenomenal. The difficulty in that routine was insane.
Her physique is the bomb
So much nicer to watch. Unlike now no flapping around her arms like a dying bird like they do now.
It’s like the commenters are oblivious to how freaking amazing this routine was

One of my favorite gymnast. Loved that smile, she was amazing.
WOW.
Both difficult and technically perfect.
Execution of 9.225 is unheard nowadays!!!
She ALWAYS stepped her dismounts.
Shawn❤

Shaw, the Best!!!!
Awesome so beautiful gotta luv her
She was awesome in competition.
16?! I remember watching her as a kid but you don't realize how young these gymnasts are
Such a difficult routine! So much power and precision. Unequaled to this day. Love watching it!
The most complex, difficult and nailed beam routine in history! Score: 16.225, even Simone Biles would be in second place 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
One of my favourite beam routines to watch! Thoroughly enjoyable. Not rushed and no arms constantly waving about. Lots of tricks, confident.
I wonder how it would score now
Can you imagine how much pain may be experienced when training to be this good. You can't land on your feet every time.
7 de dificuldade uau
Good grief. The pressure of doing a standing full on a balance beam in the Olympics must have been insane.
😮cette enchaînement (routine) à la poudre jusqu'aujourd'hui vaudrait de l'or quelque soit le podium : olympique ou mondial❤❤
Perfeição.

All acrobatics and zero else!
I never heard of her until i saw her on whose line is it anyway. "
No wonder she won gold. That was truly a gold medal performance. 😀😃😄😁😊
🥰
What an excellent routine – would be Gold winning even by today’s standards 👍
Essa er a melhor…
When is the last time someone back handspringed twice into a layout on the beam????? What the

I think Shawn Johnson is the queen of balance
