Summer Olympics '08 - Corn - 2008-08-29
psychopat Wrote:Ah... Based on that and the other replies, I'm guessing the NBC broadcasted a whole bunch of her while the non-american channels didn't care, since I've never heard of her. This is probably particularly true outside of China/Romania/US, since they're the perennial gymnastics powerhouses...
And with a name like Shawn, you can't really blame me for thinking it's a guy... I've never heard of a female Shawn before. Is that somewhat of a normal female name or are her parents just weird? :-P
Ah. Yeah, NBC is biased towards American athletes, you should of heard them comment the underaged Chinese girls.
NBC Reporter Wrote:HECK, THEY DO NOT LOOK SIXTEEN! THEY'RE SO SHORT!!!while ignoring the fact Shawn is shorter than them, lol.
Anyways, Shawn can be a female name. I never saw a girl named Shawn, though XD.

Just annoyed since during the floor exercise Shawn went first.
Then she stayed first.
Then the last person came.
And beat Shawn %^$^&%^&%^&.
Really annoyed -_-.

If the winter olympics are every 2 years, then wouldn't there be one this year too?
