Sacramone began competing at the elite level in 2002 and made the national team for the first time in 2003.

==Elite career==

===2003–04===
At the 2003 [[USA Gymnastics National Championships|National Championships]], Sacramone placed 14th in the all-around, won a bronze medal on [[Floor (gymnastics)|floor exercise]], and placed fourth on [[Vault (gymnastics)|vault]], earning a spot on the national team. Later that year, she participated in her first international competition as a senior, the Massilia Gym Cup in [[Marseille|Marseille, France]], where she placed fourth on floor and ninth on vault.

In 2004, Sacramone helped the U.S. win a team gold medal at the [[Pacific Alliance Championships]] in [[Honolulu]] and won the individual vault title. Her performances caught the attention of the media, which began to mention her as a contender for the American team at the [[2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Olympics]] in [[Athens]].<ref name=chat /><ref name="hawaii">{{cite web|url=http://starbulletin.com/2004/04/17/sports/story1.html|title=Matching Jewelry|publisher=Honolulu Star-Bulletin|date=April 17, 2004|author=Wen, Grace|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=May 7, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080507041204/http://starbulletin.com/2004/04/17/sports/story1.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, at the 2004 U.S. Nationals, an error-filled performance dashed her hopes of an Olympic berth.

Sacramone continued competing in late 2004 as a member of the national team and was assigned to several international meets, including the Pan American Individual Event Championships, where she won the vault and floor exercise titles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/athletes/athletenews/2004/an-dec04.html |title=1st Pan American Event Championships|work=Athlete News, USA Gymnastics|date=December 5, 2004|access-date=July 20, 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20041211182201/http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/athletes/athletenews/2004/an-dec04.html |archive-date = December 11, 2004}}</ref> At the World Cup Finals in [[Birmingham|Birmingham, England]], she attracted media attention again when she upset reigning Olympic vault champion [[Monica Roşu]] of [[Romania]] to take first place on the event.

===2005–06===
At the 2005 National Championships, Sacramone won the individual titles on floor and vault, scoring a 9.9 on floor, and placed third on the balance beam and fourth in the all-around. She was named to the American team, along with [[Nastia Liukin]] and [[Chellsie Memmel]], for the 2005 World Championships in [[Melbourne|Melbourne, Australia]], where she won a gold medal on floor and placed third on vault. She also defended her World Cup vault title.

Sacramone continued to compete for the U.S. team in 2006 and participated in the World Championships in [[Aarhus|Aarhus, Denmark]], where she won a silver medal with the American squad and an individual silver on the vault. She defended her vault and floor titles at that year's U.S. Nationals.<ref name=bio1 />

In September 2006, Sacramone enrolled in [[Brown University]] and joined the school's gymnastics team. During the 2006–07 season, she juggled a full [[NCAA]] competition schedule with her elite training at Brestyan's. She was the first female American gymnast since [[Kelly Garrison]] in the late 1980s to combine full-time university studies and NCAA competition with elite gymnastics.<ref name="usatoday">{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/summer/2007-08-14-busygymnast_N.htm|title=Double-duty gymnast sets bar high|work=USA Today|date=August 2007|author=Garcia, Marlen|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=August 30, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830051953/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/summer/2007-08-14-busygymnast_N.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

During her first year at Brown, she broke the school's records for the highest scores in the all-around, vault and floor exercise.

===2007===
At the 2007 National Championships, Sacramone competed on three events, choosing to skip the uneven bars. She defended her title on the vault, placed second on the floor exercise and third on the balance beam. Following Nationals, she was named to the American team for the World Championships in [[Stuttgart, Germany]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/aug18-07-WomensWorldTeam.html|title=USA Gymnastics names U.S. Women's Team for 2007 World Championships|publisher=USA Gymnastics|date=August 18, 2007 |access-date=December 29, 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080206160244/http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/aug18-07-WomensWorldTeam.html| archive-date= February 6, 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>

During the preliminary round at the World Championships, Sacramone qualified for the event finals on floor and vault and contributed to the top-qualifying position of the American team. She also posted a score on beam that would have been high enough to qualify her to the beam final. However, due to an [[International Federation of Gymnastics]] rule allowing only two athletes per country to participate in each event final, Sacramone was unable to compete for a beam medal, because teammates Liukin and [[Shawn Johnson]] qualified ahead of her. In the team final, she competed on vault, beam and floor, earning scores of 15.750, 15.600 and 15.325, respectively. When the American team faltered after a difficult beam rotation, in which two gymnasts made major errors, Sacramone gathered the team for a pep talk to refocus them for floor.<ref name=nyt08 /><ref name="personality">{{cite news |url=http://www.nbcolympics.com/gymnastics/news/newsid=138473.html#personality+puts+sacramone+front |title=Personality puts Sacramone in front |agency=Associated Press |date=June 17, 2008 |access-date=July 20, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080801160743/http://www.nbcolympics.com/gymnastics/news/newsid%3D138473.html#personality+puts+sacramone+front |archive-date=August 1, 2008 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The American team earned 184.400 points overall, which was good enough to secure the gold medal ahead of China and Romania.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/pr-sep02-WomenAdvance.html|title=U.S. women advance to team finals, qualify for 2008 Olympic Games|publisher=USA Gymnastics|date=September 2, 2007|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=February 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080225010229/http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/pr-sep02-WomenAdvance.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/pr-sep05-WomenWinTeamGold.html|title=U.S. women win team title at World Championships|publisher=USA Gymnastics|date=September 5, 2007|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=February 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080225004054/http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/news/2007/pr-sep05-WomenWinTeamGold.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Both the Brestyans and the U.S. National Team Coordinator, [[Márta Károlyi]], suggested that Sacramone forgo NCAA competition during the 2007–08 season to concentrate on her preparations for the 2008 Olympics.<ref name=usatoday /> In September 2007, Sacramone announced that she was "turning pro" and signed with an agent, forfeiting her remaining NCAA eligibility.<ref name="si1"/>

In the 2007–08 academic year, Sacramone continued to work with the Brown gymnastics team as a volunteer assistant coach. She remained a student at Brown, concentrated in [[sociology]], but took the spring 2008 semester off to prepare for the Olympics.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2007/09/27/sacramone_has_balancing_act_down/|title=Sacramone has balancing act down|work=Boston Globe|date=September 27, 2007|author=Powers, John|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=May 2, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080502140351/http://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2007/09/27/sacramone_has_balancing_act_down/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://brownbears.cstv.com/sports/c-gym/mtt/sacramone_alicia00.html|title=Sacramone's official Brown University biography|publisher=Brown Bears Gymnastics|access-date=January 18, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080205011456/http://brownbears.cstv.com/sports/c-gym/mtt/sacramone_alicia00.html|archive-date=February 5, 2008|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name=garcia08>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2008-06-03-sacramone_N.htm|title=Sacramone's love, commitment inspire others to succeed|work=USA Today|date=June 3, 2008|author=Garcia, Marlen|access-date=June 30, 2008|archive-date=December 5, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205100240/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2008-06-03-sacramone_N.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> She competed well at the National Championships in Boston and the [[2008 U.S. Olympic Trials (gymnastics)|Olympic Trials]] in Philadelphia, and on July 19, she was named to the U.S. team for Beijing.

Individually, Sacramone placed third on vault in the preliminary round of competition and qualified to the individual final on that event.

She also placed fourth on beam in preliminaries behind [[Li Shanshan (gymnast)|Li Shanshan]] of China, Liukin and Johnson, but did not advance to the eight-person event finals due to the "two per country" rule.<ref>
