Is all the excitment around Shawn Johnson really worth it?

Question

Yes i do live in Iowa and the hype here is ridiculous there are at least 3 articles about her in every morning paper. Its stupid.

Answer 1

Shawn is a super sweet girl and a great gymnast. But I've never believed she was the best. She was CONSISTENT though, which so many of her competitors lacked. When she did win it was only because other's made mistakes. I'm so happy that Nastia finally was able to do her best at the Olympics and win! Having said all this though, Shawn was robbed on floor exercise. I feel much of the Olympic scoring has been fixed.

Do you live in Iowa? Because I heard the hype about Shawn there was absolutely ridiculous.

Answer 2

yo she is HOT, its worth it.

Answer 3

Well she is the reigning world champion in the all around so I think the hype is justified. Nastia kept her own plan of peaking just at the right time though.  

Answer 4

Not only her but Micheal Phelps to doesn't it give you such a headache. Well lets give it a month or two and no one is going to care anymore. Man I feel sorry for you hope thing calm down about her in Iowa.

Answer 5

No, Nastia Liukin is better.  She's getting less attention than Johnson which I think helps her perform better without all the pressure.
