From Scrunchies to Colored Eyeshadow: Olympic Hopeful Alicia Sacramone Dishes On the Mysterious World of Gymnastics Beauty
It’s a summer Olympics year and we couldn’t be more excited. Gymnastics are by far the most interesting of all the sports (at least for us)–we love watching a bunch of powerhouse women make their bodies do superhuman things. We got to chat with one such wonder woman, 2008 Beijing Olympian–and hopefully a member of the 2012 Olympic team–gymnast Alicia Sacramone.
We had some very serious questions for Sacramone, which she was gracious enough to answer. Click through to find out why so many gymnasts wear hair scrunchies, the prevailing theory about eye makeup and leotards, why you won’t see crazy nail art on any Olympic gymnasts, and why Sacramone would love to become a designer.
