Shawn Johnson is on top again! USA wins, Shawn gets the all-around title. USA sweeps with all-around gold, silver, and bronze.
Shawn got a 60.150: 14.55 on vault, 15.10 on bars, 15.50 on beam (tied 1st place event score with teammate Ivana Hong), and 15.00 on floor (1st in event), qualifying in event finals for all 4 events. Her teammate Shayla Worley got 2nd all-around and got the highest vault score (14.600) and highest bars score (15.450).
Top 3 gymnasts from each country advance to the event finals on Sunday.
USA: 238.50, Britain: 218.10
Kind of expected...USA has a strong team, wth a lot of depth.
