8 things you didn't know about Shawn Johnson
1. She wants to meet Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White
"I remember watching him in the Winter Olympics and he seemed like a really cool guy, everything he's been a part of and done, he just seems like a really nice guy that enjoys what he does."
2. Sprinter Sanya Richards, who ran on the gold medal-winning 4x400m relay team in Athens, is a mentor to Shawn "We hit it off really well and she's a great friend. She's just a really sweet girl and we just had a lot to relate to," Shawn said. "We talk on email and text messaging a lot. She's the advice giver."
3. Her first car was a 1996 Jeep
Her parents bought her the car after she won Worlds in 2007, but for her sixteenth birthday on Jan. 19, 2008, a local Cadillac dealer donated a red LR2 Land Rover.
4. She's not grossed out by dissections
A straight-A high school sophomore, Johnson's favorite classes are literature and biology. She's dissected a frog, but found the cow's eye more interesting.
5. Shawn's parents, Doug and Teri, have traveled to nearly all of her competitions
And it hasn't been cheap. With travel to Brazil, Germany and Belgium, among others, the Johnsons have three mortgages on their West Des Moines home: "It's a choice," Doug said. "I feel blessed that we're able to be in debt. It could be so much worse. I'm never going to begrudge being in debt. Some people can't even afford that. If your child is doing something that big in your life, who doesn't want to be there to watch it?"
6. She doesn't believe in lucky charms
7. At the 2007 Pan American Games, Shawn won the all-around, ahead of Americans Rebecca Bross and Ivana Hong. As the National Anthem played, she invited them to join her on the podium's top spot.
Said Shawn, "We're all such good friends, all working just as hard. They deserved to be up there too. They deserved just as much spotlight."
8. She has a framed Wheaties box with the autographs of Atlanta's "Magnificent Seven"
"I got it from a friend," Shawn said. "It's one of the coolest things ever. I keep it in my room." |
