Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson hits a back flip while pregnant: 'Baby's first flip'
Looks like Shawn Johnson's baby is already putting in work at the gym.
The former Olympic gymnast and gold medalist was at Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy in Oklahoma when she hit a back flip on the trampoline and gracefully stuck the landing. A 10/10 performance.
The mom-to-be shared the video of her stunt to social media. She was hopping on the trampoline when a voice behind the camera asked: "What are you about to do?"
"I wouldn't do any flip..." another voice started to say before the gymnast defiantly launched into a back flip while holding on to her baby bump.
Her audience, as well as her fans commenting on the post, were clearly in awe.
"Baby's first flip... I peed myself a little," Johnson captioned the video and tagged her husband, Andrew East.
Johnson's former teammate, Nastia Liukin commented on her video and said "You CRAYYYYYY."
Other fans figured the baby is getting an early start to its Olympic career.
"Baby East 2044 Olympian?" wrote a fan.

Johnson and her husband shared in early Aprilthat they were expecting.
The 27-year-old directed her followers to a Youtube video that she and her husband put together. The clip starts off with the date the couple found out they were expecting, Feb. 17, and East holding a positive pregnancy test.
"We're pregnant!" Johnson said. "I'm pregnant, I don't know how you say that – is it 'we' or 'I'?"
Their announcement came more than year after the couple shared in a heartbreaking blog post that they had a miscarriage.
"We went through something rather traumatic," East says in the video which then goes on to show clips of Johnson curled up on the bathroom floor. "Shawn did, specifically, and so this baby ... has been a long time coming, and we couldn't be more excited."
