If she doesn’t have one, now she has to go get one. Remember, it’s all about appeasing Poly.
P.s. Miss Val…you’ve been a bad, bad girl. Let Zam go to Worlds trials.
Where did the rumor come from? A poster on a message board isn’t really a source.
I heard it two different places, both unconfirmed. By end of day somebody will confirm or debunk.
I have only seen people on boards speculating that is what they think she learned. Nobody is actually sure, it’s just she obviously had to learn it on bars because of her knee and since she had a pretty good geinger in the first place, everyone jumped to the def conclusion. It would be really cool if it is true though.
I said she might be on IG, but I was only kidding. There was a lot of “wouldn’t that be cool” talk, but I haven’t heard anyone claim that she is actually training one.
Back in 2008 Dwight Normile had a post saying he could see Shawn adding a Def if she continued past 2008. I’m not a big fan of the piked Defs. I think she should have a more laid out geinger before adding a full twist to it.
The rumors are based on one of Shawn’s tweets, in which she mentioned a “super hard” new skill she had just gotten. It’s hard to imagine she’s upping her 2008 difficulty on anything but bars yet, and she did have a pretty nice geinger, so…

AHHHH!!! Got my new skill today everyone!! SO PUMPED! Can’t tell you what it is havto keep it a secret but it’s SUPER cool and SUPER hard =D
she’s doing a double pike on floor and obviously upping her bars, i’m super excited to see her make a come back.
Her bars are very underrated. She always had straights legs knee’s glued together. It’s a shame her coach didn’t upgrade her difficulty level on bars in 08. She was capable of so much more
agree with christmas. would love to see her rocking the def and the double, double and she definitely already has good swing, handstands and pirouettes. I think she could be better than Bross on bars.
If she could do a little more on bars, it was probably too sloppy too include in the routine. Her coach wanted her to be clean. Why do a point more in difficulty if you’re so sloppy you get a point or more extra in deductions. They added what they could add while still maintaining consistency and clean form.
@sher…rewatched her pike geinger last night. agree she will have to lay it out more for a good def.
I think her new skill is a layout – full on beam
