  5. The word in the gymnastics community is that Shawn Johnson's parents mortgaged their house 3 times to pay for her coaching over the years..maybe she didn't handle her retirement right..but I had two girls that made it to Division I NCAA gymnastics and it is very expensive to pay for 15 years of training with top coaches..I applaud her in trying to earn some money on her 15 plus years of training..gymnastics is so hard on women's bodies, especially at the Elite level, that even if she wanted to, her body may not be able to take it..witness Chelsie Memmel..it is too bad there isn't more reward for the years of these young ladies training..The elite girls need to go to college..not turn pro..unless you are an olympic gold or silver and very smart about it.

  6. Is Jenny Kirk still on crack? She comes across as a crazed aerobics instructor.

    1. it does look like there is too much energy there, she wants to be in journalism, i guess she does look like some of those overzealous news people, or maybe someone impersonating a new anchor
