According to Shawn Johnson, if Simone Biles doesn't compete at the 2028 LA Games, she believes the US can still win gold. Historically speaking, the US has been the most dominant gymnastics team in the world, so Johnson has immense faith in the US women's gymnastics team.
Johnson thinks that even though it was a historically poor performance at the world championships this year, with only two total medals and no golds, the US is still capable of achieving greatness. She wants young female gymnasts to prioritize their health, mentally and physically, above all else, as she believes pushing themselves too hard can be detrimental.
Johnson, who won an Olympic gold medal in 2008, plans to attend the LA Games to cheer on the team, even if Simone Biles isn't competing. Johnson has immense faith in the young gymnasts coming up through the ranks and those looking to repeat their success, so she's excited to see all of them compete.
The US women's gymnastics team is looking forward to the 2028 LA Games, which will be the first time they'll be competing on home soil since 1996.

. It's super refreshing to see an athlete speaking out about the importance of taking care of yourself, both physically and mentally. Shawn Johnson is right, pushing ourselves too hard can be counterproductive - I've seen it happen with friends who get burnt out from overtraining and have to take a step back 
. The US gymnastics team has an amazing opportunity to thrive at the 2028 LA Games, not just because of Simone's influence, but also because they're competing on home soil - it's gonna be so lit! 
! Simone Biles' decision not to compete doesn't worry me one bit - I think we've got some amazing young talent waiting in the wings 
! Shawn Johnson is totally right, prioritizing health & wellness over pushing themselves too hard is key 
. Let's see these girls shine on their home turf and bring home that gold (or multiple) medals! The US has been slaying the gymnastics scene for years, so I'm confident we'll still come out on top

I'm a bit worried about Simone Biles' decision not to compete in LA 2028... 
I mean, yeah we know US gymnastics is strong, but what if she's being cautious due to her past struggles with mental health? 
still, it's good to see Shawn Johnson speaking out about the importance of health over hard work - let's hope we learn from her words! 
I totally get why Shawn Johnson is hyped about the US team's chances at the LA Games! Simone Biles is a huge icon in gymnastics and her decision not to compete doesn't mean the others can't bring home that gold 
️. And you know what? I think it's super important for the young girls looking up to them to prioritize their health and well-being over being pros 
. It's crazy how much pressure those athletes are under, especially when it comes to competing on the biggest stage. Shawn Johnson is right, pushing themselves too hard can be bad news 
. Fingers crossed for the US team at the LA Games! 
, and America still got this 
. Shawn Johnson's right on point tho - mental health matters way more than medals 
. If Simone doesn't compete, it's gonna be a bummer, but those young guns are gonna step up & show the world what they're made of 
!
. Shawn Johnson thinks young female gymnasts should prioritize their health, which is super important, but what about pushing them to be great? It feels like they're being held back by fear of injury or burnout 
. And let's be real, Shawn Johnson's been around the block a few times, so I trust her opinion... but I still think Simone's legacy will live on regardless of whether she competes or not 
.
I don't know how much more my stomach can take with Simone Biles' mental health struggles 
.
. But let's be real, the pressure on these young athletes is insane 
.
.
...or is it? 
Anyway, I'm hyped for the LA Games and can't wait to see those young gymnasts shine! 
we gotta prioritize that self care & let our bodies rest when needed 
can't wait to see all the young female gymnasts shining bright! 
. I mean, health and mental well-being is everything, you know? It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of competing, but we can't forget that our athletes are human beings too 
. And I'm sure the US women's gymnastics team is going to crush it at the 2028 LA Games
