American Shawn Johnson during her gold medal-winning beam routine at the 2008 Olympics.

WHOtv-NBC Des Moines–She won four Olympic medals in Beijing, including a gold. Now, West Des Moines’ own Shawn Johnson says she’s going to the 2012 Olympics to try to do it again.

Shawn talked to Channel 13’s Shawn Terrell about her next Olympic aspirations, “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about it.  You’re always questioning whether to continue or not and I’ve got it set stone that I want to keep going.  I mean gymnastics is my life and I can’t see myself finishing yet.  I’d love to go for 2012.”
