Suicide watch tonight for Alicia Sacramoneon, the US gymnast who fell in competition today?
I think she is a prime candidate for suicide watch right here right now.
The shunning she's probably receiving from her "teammates", the scolding from her coach, and her own guilt are all going to be amplified a hundred fold in the semi-darkness of the Beijing night.
I wonder if she is eyeing a bottle of hard liquor, a razor blade and full warm bath-tub right now. Or fashioning a noose with the ribbon from her US Team silver medal.
The way gymnastics scoring works means the Chinese would be won the gold either way, even if she did her part flawlessly. All the Chinese girls have been training day-in-day-out for 10+ years.
It'd be a terrible waste of life - she still has plenty going for her. MAN, you're 21, a Olympic silver medalist ,a spokeswoman for two cosmetics companies and you have a few hundred thousand fans.
I think you're wrong. I think her teammates are supporting her. Here's why.
The US women had a major deficit going into the third round. She got the same score on beam as the top Chinese woman who also fell. So going into the final round the team has a 1 point deficit. It means all the US women must be perfect while all the Chinese women must fall. Chances are in a sport that requires such precision you're not going to see all three US women be perfect. And based on their previos performances you won't see all three Chinese women falter.
It's a team sport and I truly hope Alicia doesn't feel as if she was the reason the US women didn't get the gold medal. IMO the Chinese women were superior that day. Have the same competition two weeks from not (same athletes, venue, etc.) and perhaps the US women come out on top and the Chinese women falter.
This is just a snapshot of her entire career and it's so unfair that people are going to blame her. I don't.
