From Yahoo Sports:
Shawn Johnson finally got her Olympic gold medal in the last event of the women’s competition Tuesday night, the balance beam.

Johnson, bothered by a headache before the competition, nailed her routine that is chock-full of difficult tricks, earning a 16.225. Her grin was a thousand times wider than the 4-inch-wide beam she had just conquered.

“This is what we expected to see,” her coach Liang Chow said. “The thing I really am pleaed with is she was a little under the weather and she still was able to do a wonderful routine.”
