Love the routine, only comment i have is on her switch leap to the back layout step out back layout 2 feet, is her leap wasn't quite big enough.
But the landings were outrageous!
I love watching Shawn on beam. She has more confidence on the beam than some girls have got on the floor. I've seen her fall off, get back up and finish her routine with the same confidence as before. I just love the sounds of her landing on that beam. and that tumbling pass is just perfection!
Watched this over and over again just to listen to those landings, just stick stick stick! no wobble just perfection!.. this routine was just bombarded with extreme difficulties.. and the execution! damn phenomenal.. best beamer ever!!
Hi, yes it's been a good minute since 2008, however, Shawn was the the BEST on beam….. (and floor and vault IMO)… she is so solid, difficulty is practically to the max, no lull in rhythm…. splits could be better, but damn was she elite
2022 and I feel like US gymnastics was defined by the 2008 quad and olympics.
Nastia and Shawn were just ahead of everyone else and they had such opposing builds and skills. Almost like what the other one 'lacked', the other excelled at. And it's interesting to see how Shawn's style and build became the favored as the sport evolved and changed. Have a look the 2012, 2016, and 2020/1 teams. Almost all of them took to Shawn's form. Shorter but more muscular. Built for power and lift over flexibility and length.

The sound the beam made when she landed (:
nearly cracked my skull open twice just attempting one flip like that.
I have no idea how anyone can do this.. to me this is like defying gravity..

what gets to me is she always as that step backwards
What was her score
Thanks
She also can do a standing full, (i think that's what it's called) on said 4 inch wide beam
There is a difference between grace and control
The fact that she makes it look easy is a testament to just how great a gymnast she was; the best gymnasts make it look easy.
she does everything so in control and precise
she is fabulous
amazing!
amazing and so so so gorgeous. she is perfect here. her figure and face is amazing
That A Dream Routine!!!
I really love her switch side straddle
She for sure was best at beam. AH -MAZING, Shawn!
This is my favorite beam routine of all time, her grace, power, and acrobatic skills are beautiful!
However, I will say her mount is a little less then expected… 🙂

all her landings are always so solid which i love.
I love Shawn I can't believe Bratayley gets to hang out with her
No one will ever do beam like Shawn or Nastia. It makes me so nostalgic to see them. The gymnastics world misses the,.
wow wow and wow
She's awesome. I'm so happy she was the Olympic all-around champion.
this is so satisfying to watch, especially with those sounds of the stucked landings.
Everything is perfect except her switch split leap.
This score is preposterous. They obviously didn’t deduct things like lack of extension, deep landing, etc.

From 2019, I miss beam routine like here. Now in this cop just…….
Awe…gold on the beam. That all-around Olympic medal was just so elusive. Poor girl.
I can watch her on the beam over and over again, absolutely amazing ❤️
I love the camera angles in this video, one of my favorite routines of all time.
I cant stand the angle how this is filmed. Great routine though.
Man I love the sound of a balance beam
The beam is supposed to look like they're performing on the floor, but few manage to pull that off – bud shaun does.
Best at beam in the WORLD!👍👍
The BEST on beam of all time definitively. What a self confidence… amazing. She's a special one!!!
That was perfect!
Epic!!!
She is soo good at beam 😊

She is fantastic. Never watched Shawn on beam before, she's outstanding.
I think being a stout little shortie is an advantage on beam.
She is one of the best beam workers I love hearing the sound as she lands
