Re: Shawn Johnson gets Gold
I just got done watching it. I am glad she came back with at least 1 gold so people would never say this olympics were a failure for her. 1 gold and 3 silvers is pretty good!

I think they are going to kick her out of Valley for only coming back with 1 gold.

Well I guess the DM Register can stay in business now that their paparazzi like coverage of her has been backed up in the form of a Gold medal. I'm fully expecting a special-edition golden paper for tomorrow's edition:wink:
All joking aside, it's good that she was able to get 4 medals, including the Gold. Impressive.

Hey hos - why don't you track down monkeybrow while you're out there - it's been ages since I've heard from him (just assuming with every single Union Jack avatar that he's ever had that he's from out there...)

Re: Shawn Johnson - (Spoiler Alert!)
A little "tub thumping" is in order here... I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't never gonna keep me down...
I know it's "only" athletics, but I'm proud of her and I'm proud she's from Des Moines. She showed courage and resilience.

They reported it on Headline News also. Guess those who want to watch tape delay to find out stuff should wear earplugs and blinders. Personally, knowing that she wins Gold would want to make me watch it all the more. Sorry if I spoiled it for some. Thanks to the Mods who fixed it.

Re: Shawn Johnson - (Spoiler Alert!)
I don't know if you guys are joking or not, but I think that Shawn J getting this gold medal is a HUGE deal. Not just for her, but for all of central Iowa. Now, she'll probably never have to work a day in her life. She will just be able to sit back and RAKE in the endorsement money. For Iowa, imagine all the publicity it will bring to our great state. I'm sure that the top gymnastics coaches in the world will descend about Iowa looking for the next Shawn Johnson. Will the find her? Probably not. But will the find a wonder place to live, great people, earthy aromas, and great food. DEFINITELY. Congrats Shawn.

Just think, if she goes to London she could win more medals than any US gymnast in history.

I'm sure she's already worked more between ages 3 and 16 than I will in my entire life.

Re: Shawn Johnson - (Spoiler Alert!)
I know you're joking, but as an out of stater who's seen her impact, I don't think any of the coverage she's recieved in Iowa is out of proportion. I've been following the register stories but she's huge everywhere. It's only right that her coverage is even greater in her home town. Everyone in my office has been talking about her, and they all love her. She's a great ambassador for the state of Iowa and city of Des Moines and deserves all the press she gets.
