Do you think Alicia Sacramone blew it for the US?

Question

I love her, I think she is beautiful. I have been hearing a lot of negativity surrounding her and it saddens me. I know and Ia m sure everyone else knwos that she tried her best, people just need to leave her alone. Poor girl

Answer 1

I think there were some disadvantages beyond her control.  Seems that the 16 yr old from China who beat her in one of the competitions is much younger than the minimum age - so that's not fair to Alicia.  Also, on Sunday's competition, the lady from China slipped up, yet they didn't dock her the proper points - pushing Alicia out of the medals.  I don't think she blew it at all - if anything, I think it shows that there is more to the Olympics than being a really good gymnast (there's all sorts of political things involved).

Answer 2

she messed it up less then the judged and the underage china girls.....she did her best and should have taken 3rd in vault and they would have won the all around if china didn't lie and put in little girls

Answer 3

anyone who thinks she did is lame- it's the olympics, it's an honor JUST to go.

Answer 4

shes from where i live so it is sad to see her fail. it seems she crumbled under pressure, cus i kno she could do all her routines perfect in the gym.
