Local Olympic Hopeful: Gymnast Alicia Sacramone

Posted by Pragmatic Mom on Monday, July 2, 2012 · 2 Comments

24 year old Alicia Sacramone of Winchester, MA is headed to London for the 2012 Olympic Games this July. Sacramone started competitive gymnastics at age 8 and her career has skyrocketed since then. She has had some ups and downs in her career, including a devastating fall in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a temporary retirement that followed. Just one year later, Sacramone came out of retirement and soon redeemed herself with a gold medal in vault at the 2010 World Championships. Now, she is on her way to the 2012 Olympics to show everyone what she is capable of.

Unfortunately, Alicia was left off the team. It would have been awesome to see her get a shot at redemption!
