Shawn Johnson Participating in the World’s Biggest Bed Jump

Now doesn’t this sound right up Olympic Gymnast Shawn Johnson’s (and every kid I know) alley? Today (May 7, 2009) Shawn and thousands of others in Shanghai, Paris, London and New York are going to participate in the World’s Biggest Bed Jump on the World’s Biggest Bed to help set the record for the world’s biggest bed-jump and mark IHG hotel group’s five million free nights giveaway.

The jump in Shanghai has already occurred. Chinese trampolinist, Jiang Yi Qi, who was the 2008 Trampoline World Cup Champion was one of the jumpers. (Photo Flickr) The London jump featured Team GB Olympic gymnasts Jaime Moore & James Higgins.
