Welcome to the new series Queen of Beam!

A fun segment to closely analyse one great beam routine from each competitor.

Shawn Johnson is the 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist on Beam. Simone Biles is the 2012 Olympic All Around Champion.

Each competitor will be closely matched in style and skill. It’s up to YOU to decide who’s queen of this apparatus.

Please check out my brand new website: www.gymnasticspace.com

I will be adding new content weekly.

It’s specifically for international gymnastics fans and coaches, to keep up with the world of gymnastics. I’ll be providing great tips for coaches to take their gymnasts to the next level.

Please let me know what you think of the Video and the new Website. Thank you!

  2. A Johnson Γ© muito Γ‘gil movimentos seguro e muito precisa perfeita uma das melhores q jΓ‘ vi na trave a biles tambΓ©m Γ© muito boa na trave mas prefiro ainda a Jhonson

  3. Both girls are amazing but Simone when she comes off the beam she don't fall forward like the other girl I thought this little girl was going to hit her face on the edge of the beam but hey they both are Queen's to me I've never seen anyone else do what these two girls can do ever in history can't break their records at all go girls you deserve every blessing GOD gives you keep on keeping on

  4. Shawn is better by far! Far morecomplicated, and she has the grace and solid grounding and solid centering along with STYLE without making it look mechanical….Kim

  5. Better to compare the beams they perform the best. Simone's ending with sticking the dismount is really satisfying to watch and gives a great lasting impression. Is there any video of Shawn doing this routine wherr she sticks the landing?

  6. A very good performances!
    However I don't understand why female gimnast cover up to the neck and the arms… And uncover down there. πŸ™„πŸ˜

  7. They are both queens. When Shawn Johnson retired from competition, I thought I would never see a gymnast who could equal her on beam. She was by far my all time favorite gymnast on the beam.

    Then along came Simone Biles, and she absolutely blew me away, not just on beam but on every apparatus.

    These two will forever be my favorites, but I am 100% certain that I will never see a gymnast who is the equal of Simone Biles. She is more than just the GOAT. She is the greatest that ever was, or will be. A hundred years from now, gymnasts will still be compared to her and found wanting.

  8. Shawn's style was to avoid any extraneous movements to show off her perfection. I think that's why I appreciate it equally to Simone's pyrotechnics, even though the things Simone can do are obviously superior. Shawn's style afforded her very little room for error, and that's what is so impressive about it.
