Olympian Shawn Johnson

Welcome to Younghollywood. com. Hey everyone, I'm Michelle Marie. I am with Shawn Johnson. Now, you did an amazing job on Dancing with the Stars and of course your career has just blown up. How exciting is that? So exciting. I know. I'm just I'm jumping out of my seat, you know. Being a gymnast, I know I was a dancer when I was younger, there is a lot, a lot of training that goes into it. What are your days like? How could you describe to the viewers like maybe a day of training for you?

Before the Olympics, a day of training would be like five hours of practice for me. So I'd go the full day of public high school. I go straight to gym afterwards. I'd, you know, be at gym for five hours and then I'd come home to do homework, eat dinner and then just kind of start it over. So It's a tough sport, especially cuz all the girls are so young, but it's a great one.

You've definitely won a bunch of medals and being an athlete, you represent, you know, USA and the fact that you're able to go to the Olympics must have been such an amazing experience. What are some of the highlights that you had?

Of course, besides the Olympics and the Dancing with the Stars was unbelievable and I've gotten all these opportunities from the Olympics. But I got to go to the inauguration for Obama, I got to lead the pledge of allegiance for him at the Democratic convention. I just everything about it. Everything I've gotten has been, you know, an experience of a lifetime.

Dancing with the Stars was a huge highlight for you. What was one of your favorite moments on the show?

I would say the very, very first show. Just, you know, getting, you know, to walk down the stairs and be a part of the premiere of it. It was just so cool and it's the first TV show I've ever done. So I don't know, my first sneak peak into the reality life. So it was awesome. I am Shawn Johnson. I want to say thank you guys for everything. I wouldn't have gotten here without you.
