Best Answer

She has not made a final decision whether or not to continue in Gymnastics. It is a serious commitment. She has been very busy, for example competing in and winning Dancing with the Stars.

She did attend the 2009 Visa Championships as an observer, and was even interviewed on television on the matter. A Dallas News article stated: "... Even though Liukin drew the big cheers, as did four-time Olympic medalist Shawn Johnson, who wasn't competing but attended, it was Sloan's night. ...".

What did Shawn Johnson accomplish as a gymnast?

Memorable moments in Shawn's gymnastics career have been Level 9 balance beam champion, Level 10 Iowa's Gymnast of the year, Level 10 balance beam champion and making the Junior Olympic National team, and qualifying to Junior International Elite status on her first attempt. She won the 2006 U.S. Junior National All-Around with a score higher than any of the senior elite competitors that year. In 2007 Shawn entered the senior division and won every competition. She was the champion at the 2007 Tyson American Cup, won four gold medals and the All-Around at the 2007 Pan American Games, was the National Champion at the 2007 Visa National Championships, and won the All-Around at the World Championships, making her World Champion her first year in the Senior Division. Shawn has had a great year thus far in 2008. She is bound for Beijing and the 2008 Olympics after coming in first place at the Olympic Trials in June. In May, Shawn was named the National Champion for the second year in a row at the 2008 Visa National Championships. She also won the all-around at a meet in Jesolo, Italy, competing against gymnasts from Italy, Spain and Poland. Shawn was also runner-up at the Tyson American Cup, winning the floor, beam and vault, and coming in second in bars. She has appeared on numerous TV shows and news programs, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, and was ABC's Person of the Week. She was also a presenter at Frosted Pink, a breast cancer benefit show on television. She has also been in a number of magazines, including Teen Vogue and Vanity Fair, where she posed for famed photographer, Annie Leibovitz. In Iowa, October 17th was deemed "Shawn Johnson Day" by Governor Chet Culver, and in early July a bronze statue was dedicated to her at the Iowa Hall of Pride. Even with all the media attention from around the world, Shawn stays very grounded and focused on having a normal life. Shawn has also been nominated for the 2008 Teen Choice Awards. Unlike most elite gymnasts who train approximately 40 hours a week and have private tutors, Shawn trains 20-25 hours a week and goes to public high school where she is on the "A" Honor Roll and will be a junior this fall. Shawn, her parents and coaches think it's very important for her to have a life outside of gymnastics and have time for friends, family, hobbies and school activities. Shawn has a passion for school and sets very high expectations for herself. While math is her best subject, English is her favorite. Shawn enjoys writing and uses it as well as art as a way to express her creativity. Your Welcome! <3 **Kiera D.** <3
