The Body Issue

Day 1 of worlds is over and sadly we already have one torn achilles and one ACL injury to count. Both the Alicia Sacramone (USA) and Mariya Livchikova (Ukraine) were injured in training, puttung worlds out the window and their olympic chances at risk (Ukraine have a big task ahead of them just to qualify a team).

In an unusual turn of events, Sacramone is also getting publicity for her body for another reason. The veteran of the USA team posed naked for the ESPN body issue. Sacramone said- we only compete in 25% clothing anyway so it wasn't too hard losing the rest of it! Wishing you a fast recovery Alicia- the gymnastics world is more interesting with you in it!
