“Being up there with all the other athletes and just hearing all the titles they kept listing off, I was like, `There’s no way.’ Then when they called my name,” Johnson said. “It’s the biggest honor there is. To be the first female gymnast, it’s just amazing. I’m so excited.”
Johnson won four medals at the 2008 Olympics: the gold on balance beam and silvers in the team, floor exercise and all-around, where she finished second to Liukin. Johnson is only the second U.S. gymnast to win an Olympic gold medal on balance beam, joining Shannon Miller (1996). [Source]
Now if she can just snag that DWTS win, she’ll have pretty much accomplished everything she needs to accomplish in life.
