- "I went to the Olympics because, you know, I wanted to make it to that top place to show everybody that I can be just as good as everybody else and it's just the whole experience of it that I wanted. You know, in one day you can decide 'I'm gonna go to the Olympics or not' and that means, you know, devote everyday to training. If I went back it wouldn't be to get, you know, another gold medal. It'd be to get back into that same place and to prove to everybody that I can do it again. It was the experience of a lifetime and, you know, I'd give anything to go back again but...it's hard."
"Here's the thing that makes life so interesting...
The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive.
But the theory of competition says just because they're the strong doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked.
What every long-shot, come-from-behind, underdog will tell you is this...
The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough.
But what the odds don't know...
Is this isn't a math test...
This is a completely differently different kind of test.
One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.
So before you step up to the starting line...
And the clock starts ticking...
Just remember out here...
The results don't always add up.
No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted.
When the race is on all bets are off.
Don't be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script...
And take a pass on yelling uncle...
And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, we got ourselves a game."
"Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something.
You got a dream, you've gotta protect it.
People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can't do it.
You want something? Go get it. Period"
Montage of Shawn Johnson at the 2011 Classic and US Nationals. She's my favorite gymanst ever and such an inspiration to so many people. I REALLY want to see her make the 2012 Olympic team and I know she can do it. Shawn Johnson you're amazing! Keep fighting and trying. We love you!!!
HONOR! Yayy

My parents couldn't afford gymnastics anymore but that hasn't stopped me from working my butt off. I train everyday on my trampoline and on my grass. I condition all the time because someday I will get to go back and I will when because passion has a funny way of trumping logic.
art...passion...love...meditation...drive...spirit...creativity...energy...spirituality...humility...growth...production...wow...thank you all sooo much...wow...
I am so happy Shawn came back. I was nervous she wasn't gonna go to the Olympics again, and was kind of disappointed.
You've got it Shawn! You can do it! We're all still rooting for you! We love you!
Thank you so much...
as always BEAUTIFUL
I absolutely LOVE the second commentary. It's perfect. Shawn will be that comeback kid and prove everyone wrong.I know it.

To answer everyone's question- the voice over is from a commercial on TV. I took the audio and put background music behind it. I have no idea what the song is called, it was already on my computer, I just picked it. I do not remember what it's called. Thank you!
I love this. I really hope Shawn does great at Pan-Ams. I know she can do it all over again.
@GymnastxLove aww thank you so much :) I completely agree
Shawn may have grown up, but she is still the most smiley person I know. Look at how much she smiles at the end!
(I know this is off topic but does anyone know what the song is at the end? You know, with the piano?)
sick flip bro.
@xGymCouture lol yes she does! umm just one of the interviews I had of her
Awesome! Love the commentary. Who is speaking?

Nice montage :) Shawn sure does say "you know" alot :L Where did you get that audio of her saying that stuff from? :)
what interview is that from in the beginning???
anyone know where i can buy the shirt shes wearing at the 36 sec mark???!
@AshleyakaFlipper2 Haha cool :)
4th place on beam (top 8 get a medal at USAD events)
Maybe at a Nike store? I figured cause of the check mark.
Shawn Johnson medaled at 2011 nationals?Was it just for making the national team or did she win a medal in bars or beam?
