Gymnast Liukin edges Johnson for all-around gold BEIJING - No runner-up finish to her friend and rival this time. Nastia Liukin won the biggest prize of all. Liukin edged teammate Shawn Johnson for the all-around gold in women's gymnastics Friday in an intense matchup that lived up to its billing at the Beijing Games. Liukin finished with 63.325 points, a mere six-tenths ahead of Johnson, the reigning world champion who beat Liukin at the U.S. championships and Olympic trials only a few weeks ago.   People:Yang Yilin Nastia Liukin Shawn Johnson Yang Wei   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(AP)   2008-08-15 Yang Wei finally gets gold in men's gymnastics BEIJING - Yang Wei clapped as he walked past the vault judges, pumped his fists at the crowd and flashed a thumbs-up for the cameras.
