The gold medal gymnast confessed, 'I didn't know how to function as a normal human being' (via toofab)
"Now that the Olympics were over, I didn't know how to function as a normal human being."
"Every decision I made in my life up until that moment, for at least 13 of my 16 years, was based on gymnastics," she explained."What it would take and what I needed to do to get to the Olympics. What I ate, who I hung out with, how I dressed." After the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Shawn went on to do"Dancing With The Stars" and even though she won the competition, it was not a positive time in her life.
