The U. Olympic team tweeted the members of the team early on Monday morning, and Sacramone was not among them. The year-old is past her prime as an Olympic gymnast, and the Games was the last opportunity she had to make up for her falls in Beijing. Sacramone is the most decorated U. She was a member of the Beijing silver medal squad and is the only one with a realistic shot of joining this squad.
Nastia Liukin, the Olympic all-around champion, fizzled in the uneven bars while landing on her rump on her dismount. Bridget Sloan, the only other member at these trials, was forced to withdraw after spraining her elbow. That leaves Sacramone as the one member ready to bring a sense of calm and experience to what figures to be a very young team. It won't be announced until Sunday night who the five members of the Olympics team are, but Sacramone needs to be one of them.

I always will remember Alicia with a smile on my face, and I wish her the best with her future endeavors. Alicia combined power and beauty in her gymnastics, which is very rare. She had everything it takes to perform gymnastics at the highest level — brains, elegance, power, artistry, execution, drive, determination and desire.
