I feel bad for Alicia Sacramone, she pretty much let her team down tonight? Do you?

Question

For those who dont know shes one of the girls on the USA gymnastics team. they took silver today faltering to china :(

Answer 1

I would not have put her in the final rotation after that fall.  I'd go find Sloan and get her in.  h**l, I would have went with Memmel on the last rotation with her one good ankle.  You do not put someone in with that state of mind, no matter their talent.

Answer 2

I think that when she screwed up on the balance beam it did her in for the floor stuff...she just couldn't get it back.

I thought she held it together well, if it were me I'd have cried.

I thought the one woman coach was a little cool/distant from her when she came back from the floor stuff.

I sort of feel bad for her too, but how can we blame her?  None of us can do anything even remotely like she can.

Answer 3

It's probably really though but her team mates took it well and were patting her on the back and stuff. The Chinese team also acted like real good sports after the competition. Besides, they still have the individuals for a chance at gold.

Answer 4

Yeah I guess so..

It's actually no big deal. I myself am American and I was thinking "better luck next time" because hey, atleast they got silver, right?

It was sad, i have to admit though. Nobody can blame it on her exactly..

I guess it's no one's blame because each person had a small part in it, so it isn't a particular person's problem. I really hoped they got gold thought after all the hard work of practicing they had done.

But still, GO USA!! We're still in the lead! :]

Answer 5

Hey, silver is not bad! She still did a great job; I think they're too in their heads and they can't just let go.

They were awesome though.

Answer 6

I feel bad that she couldnt perform but she tried her best.. =/ You cant punish her for that. Hey silver is still good. better than last.

Answer 7

We lauhed so hard when ABC did the still frames of Alicia falling. Her one leg all up in the air.... Omg! Lol. I can't stop laughing!! Her life has got to suck.

You know all that fake support stuff ends when the camras turn off. Felicia is going to get beat with tube socks filled with change back at the hotel room! Each team mate gets two hits!

Each American citizen should get a turn to punch Alicia in the face.

Answer 8

I didn't think she was any good at playing Batwoman.

Answer 9

yeah i feel really bad for her, i kno she wanted to do her best!

it's really sad for her b/c she is the oldest and the team captain and i know she probably feels like she let everyone down.

Answer 10

I really do feel bad for her. She lost the gold for USA...but China did very well and probably deserved it, despite Sacramone's falls.

Answer 11

omg, do i!!!!

i was like NOOOOO!

then my brother started making fun of her and that

made me sad. Because I know she knows that everyone

is saying how she let her team down...

I thought we would have caught up, but then everyone

faltered on the floor exercises.  Oh well, at least we came

in 2nd...

theres always the next olympics.

Answer 12

she should visit a counselor or psychiatrist early

THAT WAS SO TRAUMATIZING

i mean, if i experienced that, that would never erase

IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE.

I FEEELLLLL SOO SSOOOOOO SOOO BAD FOR HER

ITS OBVIOUS SHE TRIED HER VERY BEST.

I wish everyone would just forget about it and not even talk about it.  

Answer 13

Who cares! the Chinese fixed it anyway. Point is she has a body like a Black girl and I would date her anyday even though her neck is bigger than mine

Answer 14

I felt really anxious after she fell! I really hate it when athletes (regardless of where they're from) fall - it's tense! I felt really pained when she fell again. It's a tough blow to her confidence!

But she's a professional athlete. Something that all athletes have to face. They have a silver though!

Answer 15

kinda two mistakes is not acceptable

Answer 16

yeah i felt wikid bad for her.  Of course during the floor exercise, the whole team made mistakes.  

Answer 17

atleast we lost to china by more than what her fall costed. but yeah i just wanted her to run to the bathroom and cry bc it looked like she was holding back tears!

Answer 18

yea me too but she tried her best everyone makes mistakes

Answer 19

yes. i feel so bad for her.

everyone makes mistakes and it's not her fault.

she will probably blame herself for it forever even though it wasn't her fault.

she tried her best and just made a few mistakes. its human. no one should blame her.

Answer 20

Yeah...oh well, she tried her hardest right? I guess that's all that counts.

There's nothing like the girls who competed in '96 though! Magnificent 7 ftw!

Why did I get a thumbs down? Because I stated my opinion? Sure Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson are great athletes but teamwise the girls that competed in 96 are my fav.

Answer 21

She is too old for the sport, and she showed she did not have the heart of a champion.  

Answer 22

Yes, she cost us the gold. But we still got 2012!

USA!
