Alicia Sacramone was born 3 December 1987 and is a World Champion gymnast from Boston, Massachusetts. Sacramone was the 2005 World Champion on Floor Exercise and has won many titles with her powerful and spunky gynnastics style. Alicia struggles with the Uneven Bars and occasionally the Balance Beam, but is one of the world's strongest competitors on Floor and Vault.
Alicia first started gymnastics after she was discovered doing cartwheels in a local shopping mall in Massachusetts. Sacramone first qualified as an elite gymnast in 2000 and competed in various important competitions in America. While she drew
attention for her engergetic style and promising vault and floor work, she was known for succumbing to pressure in major competitions and making mistakes as a result. Her best results prior to 2004 were a seventh place finish in the All Around at the 2002 US Classic and a Fourteenth place at Senior Nationals in 2003. While the latter qualified her for the Senior National team, Alicia was never in the picture to make the 2003 World Championships Team.
