Shawn Johnson’s Minor Leg Injury and the Beijing Olympics
World gymnastics champion Shawn Johnson has a minor leg injury that shouldn’t disrupt her plans for the Beijing Olympics.
Johnson is wearing a small walking boot for two weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in her right shin. The injury could have turned into a stress fracture if left untreated.

The 15 year old’s leg injury is not seen as a problem for her competing in the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Good news to all you guys who are rooting for the World Gymnastics Champion, Shawn Johnson.
It’s reported that she’s had competed and won gold at the World Championships last month and have been doing continuous physical therapy. I reckon she’ll be well on her way to her Olympic Gold next year.
We’ll still keep an eye out for her.
