Olympic Gymnast Alicia Sacramone is HOT for Gold (Photos)
U.S. Olympian Alicia Sacramone is the older woman on the team. At 20 years old, the Brown University student is the U.S. gymnastics team leader at the Beijing games. The U.S. women took a silver medal on Wednesday after a series of missteps by key team members. Nearly invincible China took gold and Romania captured bronze in the team event.
Things went awry for Sacramone during team finals. She lost her balance on the beam and it carried over to floor exercise. Officials delayed her start on the balance beam and she thinks that may have contributed to her problems. She apologized to her teammates by saying:
“I think everything just got the best of my head. I got nerves on the beam and carried it to the floor, too.”
The elite gymnast was born and raised in Boston and has an older brother. She did not make the 2004 Athens team after doing poorly at Nationals that year and nearly quit the sport.
Sacramone and her band of premiere athletes will have an opportunity to win individual medals over the next few days and two will compete in the all around competition which takes place on Thursday.
Alicia and team mates Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin signed on as spokesmodels for CoverGirl in June 2008, a first for U.S. Gymnasts. Check out Shawn photos here. Check out Nastia photos here.

I have to say Alicia Sacramone is probably one of the hottest gymnasts I have ever seen. She’s beautiful, talented, great body and she just seems so down-to-earth.
Hoping to see more of her!
alicia, only simple beautiful girl
l like so much.
i hope some day meet her.
Alicia Sacramone is really a BEAUTIFUL, talented, great gal. Actually too, Nastia and Shawn and all the rest on the USA team are great and did outstanding, truly a joy to see them perform — and ALL are very cute – speaking from a guy’s point of view.
In particular though, for my taste and heart, Alicia Sacramone is really amazing and captivating in many ways. Those big beautiful brown eyes are truly wonderful to me. She has such a nice shapely “woman’s build” – something often not so common with women in her sport. All guys who have seen her know what I’m talking about — she has just a captivating, strong, sexy, feminine appeal and presence; and she looks like such a nice and intelligent, gentle-natured woman… Any guy would really be lucky.
Of course, I’m kinda partial to gymnasts, as their sport requires such astounding ability, strength, athleticism and devotion — they are truly in the best shape a person can be in, athletically and strength-wise. I am a guy who has always enjoyed gymnastics and gymnastic-oriented exercises, so I really appreciate their ability.
So, naturally, if a totally GORGEOUS female gymnast like Alicia is in front of me, she is bound to capture my heart…
Anyway, Alicia Sacramone: beautiful, beautiful, talented gal. A great catch for any guy.
