Shawn Johnson Hungry For Olympic Comeback

Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson is older than the competition but isn’t letting that get in the way of a comeback at the London 2012 games.

Recovering from a skiing injury, Johnson is trying to capture the magic of her medal win in Beijing in 2008. Speaking to the L.A. Times, Johnson explains, “There are a lot of girls out there, a lot of younger girls and it’s a lot harder. I have good days and bad days.”

The 20 year old Johnson says she’ll be happy with working towards team gold, instead of an individual victory.

Her coach Liang Chow is skeptical, noting that there are more talented, younger gymnasts than available slots on Team USA.
