Congratulations are in order for Shawn Johnson, who won the gold in the beam competition.
Shawn Johnson of the USA smiles during the medal ceremony for the Women's Beam Final. She won her gold medal with a nearly flawless routine on balance beam. Johnson’s smile had won everyone over, the mostly Chinese crowd roared like one of their own had prevailed.
Plagued by a headache before the competition, she nailed her routine that was chock-full of difficult tricks, earning a 16.225.
She's a great little competitor, and deserved the gold.......since she had her share of silvers'.
