Shawn Johnson East – Then

A lot of people cannot believe that Shawn Johnson East only joined the Olympic games once. That was for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. On top of that, she only has one gold medal to her name. This took them by surprise as she is one of the best-known gymnasts in the world! In 2009, she was declared the winner of the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. It was an amazing feat as she was the youngest competitor of the show at the age of 17. She started to train for the 2012 Olympics, but she went on to announce that she was retiring because of her knee injury in June of the same year.
