In some ways the ACL tear was a blessing. I had hesitated to return to elite gymnastics after the 2008 Olympics. I told myself I had already accomplished so much, and the road was just going to get harder if I continued.

Shawn JohnsonI'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
