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.

Anyways, Shawn can be a female name. I never saw a girl named Shawn, though XD.
