the return of Alicia Sacramone

Awesome.

… “I will be at Classics and definitely shooting for VISA Championships in August. I know a lot of people are hearing mixed things about our Olympic Team, who is coming back, who is not, but I’m for sure training,” Sacramone told UniversalSports.com. …

She’s training Beam and Vault. And must qualify at CoverGirl Classic in July in order to get to VISA Championships.

She’s got something to prove.

… “The beam was the easiest thing to get back. Vault was a little bit more difficult because I had shoulder surgery, so getting the strength back to support myself was a little bit hard. I’m working on floor, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen this year. Maybe next year, we’ll see.” …

“Right now it’s one year at a time. Staying healthy, staying happy, and loving my training is most important to me right now. I already went through the hardships and now it’s more fun for me because I have nothing to lose.”
