Shawn has completed a 2.5-twisting Yurchenko, does a standing full (back flip with a full twist) on beam, and a tucked double-double (two flips with two twists) on floor. Shawn is probably the only athlete in the world to have three "G" level elements on three events. (In the code of points, skills are arranged in different levels, "A" skills being basic skills, "G" skills being the most difficult elements. No element has been given above a "G" rating in the Code of Points to date.)On bars, her double twisting double layout dismount is her "G" element, on beam, it's her full twisting double tuck dismount, and on floor it's her tucked double twisting double tumbling pass. On vault she is one of only three women in the world, the other two being Jade Barbosa (Brazil) and Cheng Fei (China), to complete a 2 1/2 twisting layout Yurchenko.
