Candid, inspritational article about Alicia Sacramone's in-progress comeback from her achilles tear at the world championships in October 2011.  According to the article, Alicia is finishing her rehab in Colorado and is expected to resume full-time training, ahead of schedule, in February 2012.  She plans to focus on vault and beam, and to continue to include yoga, pilates, and cardio along with her traditional gymnastics training.

About her injury, Alicia reportedly said:  "I cried for about 15 minutes after it happened. It was obviously not ideal. But my first thoughts were not about ending gymnastics; they were about what a pain this was going to be to rehab."

Always the team leader, Alicia reportedly told espnW:  "I'm surrounded by younger athletes in the sport all day. I don't want to set a bad example for them -- oh, this is how you act when you're facing a setback."

24-year-old Sacramone holds a record of 10 world medals - the most of any gymnast in US history.
