Shawn Johnson wins GOLD on balance beam!

I loved watching the Olympics this year.  I wrote about Shawn Johnson multiple times, and she made her country so proud.  She is an Olympic medalist who won with grace, style and humility.  The United States, and her hometown of West Des Moines, are very proud of her performance and sportsmanship.

If you are a fellow Shawn Johnson Fan and do not read the Des Moines Register, I am happy to share some links:
