Who Is Alicia Sacramone?

Alicia Sacramone began her path to becoming a World Champion as a toddler in dance classes. Even a very young age, Alicia was very talented and took tap, jazz, and ballet classes. When she started doing cartwheels while running errands with her mother at age seven, she was quickly enrolled at Gymnastics and More in Woburn. Trained from the very beginning by husband and wife team Mihai and Sylvia Brestyan, Alicia learned a lot from the Romanian immigrants. She quickly progressed through the compulsory levels of the sport and soon had quite a pile of medals and awards from various state, regional, and national meets. Then in 2000, just five years after starting the sport, Alicia became an elite gymnast at the age of twelve. 2000 was also the year that the Brestyans opened their own gym in Ashland, appropriately called Brestyan's Gymnastics.

Alicia comes home with a silver medal in the Team competion and narrowly missed a bronze on the vault.

A member of the U.S. National Team, she is the 2005 World Champion on floor exercise, the 2008 U.S. National Champion on vault, and a seven-time medalist at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she won a silver medal competing for the USA in the artistic gymnastics team all-around competition.

Sacramone began gymnastics at the age of eight, began competing in the elite ranks in 2002 and joined the U.S. national team in 2003.

Shannon Miller and Nastia Liukin are the only American gymnasts to hold more World Championships medals than Sacramone; 1970s gymnast Kurt Thomas also has seven. Sacramone has also become known as the "spiritual and social leader" of the U.S. gymnastics team, frequently rallying and supporting her teammates and offering advice in stressful situations.
