I think she never upped the difficulty because she doesn't really like or feel comfortable on this event. I believe she has said this was her least favorite apparatus.
Shawn would have been great in compulsories I think. She really tried hard to keep clean form in all of her events, especially on bars. The splits on beam and floor were a problem for her though.
The 2006-2008 code favored bars gymnasts. For example: there was no other even where a gymnast would score above a 16.5 with a bad routine. Some even got 17.1s (domestic scoring), but bars was given too much credit and I think if they had been in the 2009-2012 or 2013-2016 code, Shawn would've won because they realized their mistakes in making bars too high scoring.
Shawn Johnson just lands in her feet in floor,beam,bars like nothing happened she lands in her feet straight in beam beam is hard she lands good so GOOD JOB SHAWN WE SUPPOERT UR HARDEST TRIALS FOR UR COMPETITION!!
it ALWAYS and STILL drives me absolutely crazy that people consider a gymnast least difficult routine/exercise as their weakest event, Shawn was BEYOND clean, like it was said not her most difficult but definitely A LOT cleaner than most of the difficult bar routines

I never get tired of watching her!

Agreed
Her dismount is the best I've ever seen in my life. She's so amazing<3 my favorite gymnast!
She could probably do He Kexin's combination with the advantage of her height. She has a lot of potential on bars, too bad it's her least favorite.
her form is impeccable – her legs never bend! And she hits all her handstands just the difficulty isn't there compared to Nastia :/

but then again, she makes beam look easy
I think Shawn Johnson is a way better gymnast than Gabrielle Douglas
Wow!
That's just my most fav dismount ever!

I'm a gymnast, but I don't know too much about their scoring. So, why did Shawn get a 15.4 and Nastia a 17.1?

Shawn was the Simone biles in 2008
How ??? How can she do this ?! I'm amazed each time I watch her 💗💗💗
shawn johnson is better than anyone i love her shaw your my girl
I know this was considered her 'weak' event, but she does a great job with her skills. And that dismount!
Eh, Nastia won when it mattered.
I hate it when people say Shawn Johnson was the Simone Biles of 2008. Shawn Johnson was the Shawn Johnson of 2008.
Shawn era uma atleta muito disciplinada. Muito precisa em seus movimentos. Admiro muito
U are the best
Is the bar supposed to squeak like that?
it ALWAYS and STILL drives me absolutely crazy that people consider a gymnast least difficult routine/exercise as their weakest event, Shawn was BEYOND clean, like it was said not her most difficult but definitely A LOT cleaner than most of the difficult bar routines
That dismount tho
I have been watching gymnastics for well over 55 years and Shawn and Katelyn Ohashi are the best I have ever seen world wide.
That looked so fabulously perfect.
And now (2016+), Shawn and Nastia are vlogging together with their families and kids.
