Love Oregon State. But asst. coach Carney should put his foot down when it comes to music in the gym …

“ABC – Anything But Country”. That must be the rule. 🙂

Alicia to resume training

Having snapped her Achilles in October at World Championships, she’s already scheduled to return to Brestyans.

… Rehab has gone better than expected, and Sacramone is ahead of schedule for her return to full-time practice, which she expects to resume at the beginning of February. When she does, she’ll follow a slightly unorthodox plan, which she has adhered to since her 2010 comeback: Rather than six hours of daily gymnastics — the norm for many elite gymnasts — Sacramone spends 2½-3 hours in the gym, followed by yoga, Pilates or a cardio session. …

ESPN W – Alicia Sacramone firmly focused on future

I’d love to see Alicia in London. But training only vault and beam, when Team USA needs Bars, makes it a long shot.

But College Gymnastics Board has a good thread finding the exceptions — Most Difficult Routines This Season

I saw these two cool vaults linked from there:
