Shawn Johnson flips over bobsled

December 22nd, 2009 | humour

I don’t know how they create these video edits.

Is Shawn flipping in front of a green screen?

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Well, the latest viral videos to hit the Internet is here, and it features 2008 Olympics gymnastics gold medalist Shawn Johnson vs. 2006 short-track speedskating gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno.

In the videos, Ohno challenges Johnson to backflip over a bobsled as it careens down a bobsled run. If she accepts the offer and completes the challenge, Ohno agrees to skate down the boblsed run. …

Click through to Gymnastics Examiner to see the Ohno stunt. Oh no!

It looks much more realistic.

I think Shawn is standing next to the bobsled run and does her back tuck at the right time, just next to to run rather than on it. I think she was actually there but look at her size compared to that of the sled. She’s definitely closer to the camera than the sled is.

I agree. Shawn is standing next to the bobsled run and not on the track.

Though it may not be real, it’s still a cool video!
