This week Team USA competed in the 2011 World Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. For the first time since 2007, the women's artistic team won gold ahead of Russia and China. This victory is really special for a team that struggled with injuries prior to preliminary competition. Alicia Sacramone and Anna Li were not able to compete due to injury. They were, however, awarded gold medals making Sacramone the most decorated American gymnast surpassing both Shannon Miller and Nastia Luikin. You can watch clips on
