Quotes by Shawn Johnson
- I had a constant fear, a constant little doubt in my mind: 'OK, I'm getting ready to do my standing back full on beam and I might re-tear my ACL.'
- I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom.
- I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.
- I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
- I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
- I'm pleased to say my knee feels a lot better. It's still not back to normal, and I don't know if it ever will be, but I'm learning to deal with it instead of expecting it to be like it was before.
- I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.
- It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you can't ask for much more.
