Heck, even Jonathan is pro now, after the tour. Maybe he wasn't at the Games, though. Don't know. But Nastia and Shawn already had big money endorsements long before Beijing. C'mon that is NOT amateur. How are either Nastia or Shawn eligible since this is an “amateur” award? Heck, even Jonathan is pro now, after the tour. Maybe he wasn’t at the Games, though. Don’t know.

She worked harder than anybody to get to the Olympics and she should get recognized for that. Shawn only has skills, and as like others said, Nastia has artistry and skill, she should win.

Paul is irrelevant in this case, as he is not a nominee. Regardless, I think Shawn and Nastia have nearly opposite strengths and weakness, so they're very close in greatness. As for Jon and Paul, Jon has crazier skills while Paul has great execution. Interesting, I guess that's a similar difference between Shawn and Nastia as well. Nastia is more similar to Paul (of Paul and Jon) and Shawn is more similar to Jon (of Paul and Jon). I hope Nastia wins. Paul is irrelevant in this case, as he is not a nominee.
