Johnson set to make competitive return
Johnson's coach, Liang Chow, told the magazine that she will compete two events at the meet in Chicago and two events at the VISA National Championships in August. Johnson is not ready for all-around as she continues to recover from her January 2010 knee injury.
The 19-year-old's return has been slow and steady. She announced her comeback in May 2010, began attending team camps at the Karolyi Ranch in November, and was named to the National Team in February 2011.
So can Johnson make the London 2012 Team? Her road to the Olympics will certainly be different than in 2008.
Johnson did not suffer any major injuries leading up to Beijing and was known for her consistency and technical difficulty. This time around, Johnson is learning how to recover from knee surgery and not only get back to the level she was, but upgrade. Her biggest competition may not be from fellow 2008 Olympians like Alicia Sacramone , who returned last season, but from a new crop of gymnasts who have yet to make their mark.
Remember - one year before the Beijing Games and Shawn Johnson was just beginning her Olympic campaign (albeit in a big way - winning the 2007 world all-around title). Looking at this year's new seniors like Jordyn Wieber and McKayla Maroney, plus others who will not be eligible until the Olympic year, these young gymnasts are showing off difficult skills and the poise to match. However, National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi respects experience and that's where a competitive Johnson has the edge.
But enough speculating - we'll see firsthand where Johnson's comeback stands in Chicago on July 23.

OK, so I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant when I bought this game for my little sister; as an ex-gymnast, the quality of gymnastics video games out there is abysmal, but I adore Shawn Johnson and decided to give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised.
The moves are authentic, the graphics are about as good as Wii can get, and after reading some interviews Shawn did, I love that she was part of the process of making this game. A lot of the time, you expect that these celebrities have nothing to do with their branded products, but she actually had a lot of input on how this game together which makes me like this game even more. My little sister is now insisting on gymnastics lessons. If there’s anyone who can inspire young girls, it’s Shawn Johnson. Thanks for putting out such a great representation of a sport that means so much to me.
