In popular culture.
"Dancing with the Stars".
In February 2009, Johnson became a celebrity competitor on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" season eight, partnered with season six winner, professional dancer Mark Ballas.
In the finale, tightest in the show's history, Johnson beat Gilles Marini by less than 1%.
She is the youngest champion in show's history (and was the youngest contestant until Zendaya in season 16).
In April 2009, she appeared in the music video "Do You Love Me" by Ballas Hough Band wearing one of her "Dancing with the Stars" costumes.
Later, she reunited with one of the show hosts, Tom Bergeron, at the "82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee" to discuss her victory.
On September 24, 2012, Johnson again became a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars", on the all-star edition (season 15).
Her partner this time was three-time champion Derek Hough.
The team of Johnson and Hough came in 2nd place to Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, which aired on November 27, 2012.
During the finale, Len Goodman called Johnson ""The No-Stress Express"", stating that every piece that was thrown at her, she pulled off with little stress, and turned out a clean performance.
In week three, judge Bruno Tonioli called Johnson, and her partner, Derek Hough ""The Incredibles"", after their performance on stage, stating that it was ""The best routine I have seen in 15 seasons in America Dancing with the Stars and 9 in the UK Strictly Come Dancing. 
Athletes have historically been far more successful as a group than other celebrities on the show.
At the end of the spring 2011 season, 28 athletes have competed on the show, representing 20% of the contestants.
They've won six competitions and placed second four times; a collective success (win or runner-up) rate of 36%.
In other words, better than one third of the athletes who have appeared on the show have finished either first or second.
This is far better than the rate for reality-show contestants, supermodels, actors, politicians and other celebrities.
Musicians/singers, at 27%, are the second most successful group.
It is speculated by the cast and staff on the show as well as the athletes themselves, that they have several advantages in some key areas:
Physical ability – Many of the physical abilities associated with gifted athleticism such as strength, agility, quickness, balance, stamina and more generally, body control and muscle coordination, are also considered useful and advantageous qualities in competitive dancing.
Training and coaching – Athletes are familiar with effective and efficient training techniques.
Professional dancer Cheryl Burke states, "They are used to being coached and they respond to criticism better than, say, actors".
Casting director Deena Katz says, "They know their limits and don't overtrain like some others do", and so they avoid injuries, which hamper many of the contestants.
Competitive instinct – Successful athletes are competitive individuals and therefore comfortable in an environment which encourages "bettering" an opponent.
In addition, they are familiar with performing under pressure and in some cases, thrive on it.
Highly successful, elite athletes are capable of performing at their highest level when it is most important.
They are able to focus and possibly even "raise" the quality of their performance during the biggest of competitions, whereas other contestants may falter under the same pressure.
There are disadvantages as well, particularly with the larger athletes such as football and basketball players.
Some of these athletes have difficulty making their over-sized frames look graceful on the dance floor.
However, this can also be an advantage: since this struggle with their large size is often plainly apparent during their performances, voters will tend to give them more leeway in this area, while an actor or singer with known dance background or training may be held to a higher standard in the voters' minds.
In every season finale in which an athlete was present, and was either tied for the top of the leader board or one point behind the leader said athlete went on to win the season.
This has happened on five occasions:
Season 3: Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez tied in the finale, with both scoring 89/90
Season 5: Helio Castroneves scored one point behind Mel B in the finale, scoring 84/90 to her 85/90 (Castroneves is the only, male, non-NFL player for this to occur to)
Season 8: Shawn Johnson and Gilles Marini tied in the finale, with both scoring 88/90 (Johnson is the only female athlete for this to occur to)
Season 12: Hines Ward and Chelsea Kane tied in the finale, with both scoring 89/90 (Kane, however, landed in third place)
Season 14: Donald Driver scored one point behind Katherine Jenkins in the finale, scoring 89/90 to her 90/90
