World Champions

Today the USA Women won the World Gymnastics Team Championship. The only other time the US women have won a world title was back in 2003 when the meet was held in Anaheim, CA. They finally got it together on foreign soil. Alicia Sacramone was key to the team. From what I know about her, elite gymnast who decided to attend an Ivy League University (Brown) and maintain competing elite along with NCAA, she seems like a badass. You have got to have a lot of respect for her. I hope she gets to rock in Beijing.

ESPN Article about the World Championships (Its a bit dramatic, but what do you expect from writers that don't know much about the sport):
