Alicia Sacramone as a LEVEL 6

Not only was she adorable, but really good too! This was a great vid of Alicia back in the day working it as a compulsory gymnast! Seeing the routines are a real blast as well - enjoy...

The thing that struck me about Alicia's level 6 routines is that she looks like kind of an ordinary Level 6. She does well, but I don't think if I'd been at that meet, I would have said "Wow; there's a future world champion." It's actually kind of neat to see how far she's come.

Her bars were certainly impressive for a Level 6, but otherwise you're completely right.

I'd say her bars were good, but her baby pullover and flyaway left something to be desired as well as her form during the tap swings ( high enough but nothing I'd want to do either of those skills with ).

It's a bit nice to know her vault was all that impressive either. Dance looked good as well as floor.

Wow, I forgot how much I disliked the music. I liked the routines enough but that music would make me want to qualify out of 5 and 6 and go 7 ASAP as a coach. 7 or bust!

My friend and I were discussing the same thing yesterday. Very average, ordinary (good but not blow me away good) routines. You just never know who will make it

Bars were really just OK, funny they are still not her strongest these days.
