Shawn Johnson at the 2008 Summer Olympics

America had high hopes for Shawn Johnson in the 2008 Athens Summer Olympic Games. And she delivered! Though her teammate Nastia Liukin took the individual all-around title, she won the silver in the same category. Johnson also helped Team USA win the all-around team silver medal, and individually the pint-sized phenom won gold on the beam and silver on floor exercise. Not too shabby!
