World Cup Ghent 2005
Commentary
by: Brian Bakalar Ghent,
Belgium May 1, 2005. The American Team was represented by Annie
DiLuzio and Alicia Sacramone at the World Cup in Ghent, Belgium,
May 1.
DiLuzio, brand new to international
competition, came up strong on the vault, scoring a 9.312, and
taking the silver medal.
But it was crowd-favorite Alicia Sacramone
whose 9.325 on Floor, and 9.462 on Vault made her the big winner
of the day. Fresh off of her victories at the Visa American Cup
in February, and solid performance at the World Cup competition
in Romania, Sacramone continues to dominate in the World Cup
league, the finals of which will be held in Brazil next year.
Sacramone is particularly respected here in
Region Six of the United States as she trains at Brestyan’s
Gymnastics of Massachusetts. A powerhouse and a great
performer, Alicia boasts both 1 ˝ twisting and Double twisting
Yurchenko vaults. On floor, her tucked full-in always
impresses, and her triple twist rarely leaves anyone in doubt
that she is something special.
