Power is the defining feature of her gymnastics, and she brings it to every event. On floor, Johnson immediately captures attention with a double front before moving through a switch side-Popa, front layout-front full, and double pike with an easy stick. Her huge Yurchenko full on vault showcases that same explosive power, while beam features a unique flare mount, back handspring-layout stepout, standing front tuck, and round-off-double tuck dismount. On bars, she competes a clear hip handstand-double tuck dismount, Shaposh-Geinger, and Pak salto. Johnson’s combination of power, difficulty, and confidence makes her a standout all-arounder, and as she enters her junior year, she’s a gymnast college coaches should have firmly on their radar.
