Shawn Johnson: American Wondergirl
Date: 12/9/2008
Her performance was one of the most memorable of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. With a buoyant spirit and knack for virtual perfection across disciplines, America fell in love with Shawn Johnson. She has now earned something that no other American female gymnast ever has: the Sullivan Award. The award honors the country’s top amateur athlete. Johnson earned the award over teammate Nastia Liukin, U.S. Olympic men’s 400-meter freestyle relay swim team, volleyball player Cynthia Barboza of Stanford, and North Carolina basketball player Tyler Hansbrough. Johnson is just the third gymnast to win the Sullivan after Paul Hamm and Kurt Thomas and is only the second U.S. gymnast to win an Olympic gold medal on balance beam.
