Johnson was fifth after two rotations before she stunned the crowd and the judges on the floor. In her first year of senior competition, she also adds a US team gold medal to her individual. Johnson joins Kim Zmeskal (1991), Shannon Miller (1993-94) and Chellsie Memmel (2005) as the only four US women gymnasts to ever win an all-around world title.

A montage about the sad stories in gymnastics. I cannot even imagine the pain of training your whole life for a dream then having it taken away. Footage includes Julissa Gomez, Christy Henrich and Yelena Mukhina, whose stories are perhaps the greatest examples of tragedy in gymnastics. Also included is Sang Lan, who is a very inspiring amd courageous woman. She has managed to keep a positive outlook on life and do many great things. She hopes to be one of the final torchbearers at next year's Beijing Olympic Games. The other gymnasts I chose becasue they were perhaps the best examples of gymnasts forced to retire in their prime, or before their career even really began. I also included those who never lived up to expectations, those supposed to be the next big thing who were then forced to watch their dreams slip away in the spotlight.

Are the 2008 Chinese Olympic gymnasts underage? Maybe not. This gymnastics video is an excerpt from the documentary film "Dream Weavers 2008" (Zhu Meng 2008). It was the opening film of the 11th Shanghai Film Festival that ran from June 14-22, 2008. (Yes, the same film festival that actress Sharon Stone was banned from attending!) The documentary, which took director Gu Jun seven years to make, captures events leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and how various lives were affected by this major international event in China. [00:00] The video begins with a scene where Grandmother Guo Guilan is having one last New Year's eve dinner at home with her family. Her ancestral house, a place where her family has lived for three generations, will soon be demolished due to construction of Olympic Park. Very sad, but the scene was included only to establish the date, which is clearly shown in the first 4 seconds to be February 1, 2003. (Note: The documentary presented events in strict chronological order. Although not shown in this video, the next date that appears in the documentary is during the National Stadium design competition on the 3rd of March. One can therefore conclude with certainty that what appears in this video occurred sometime between February 1 and March 3, 2003.) [00:34] The scene switches to the training gymnasium of the National Olympic Team. [00:49] Narrator states that the girls are "eligible for international competitions at age sixteen." [00:51] The ...
