Alicia Sacramone may not have won the gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Beijing, but she's hit big where it matters most. Alicia Sacramone generates internet traffic by the boatload, and for that alone I consider her a gold medalist.

Sure Alicia Sacramone lost the gold to a bunch of underage Chinese gymnasts, but in the end, who'll remember that? At the end of the day, she'll still be hot and those poor kids will still be 61 pounds and forced to live at the Olympic Village. In this world people love winners, and hot athletes are always a winner, whether they win at their sport or not. You only have to think of Anna Kournikiva to know I'm right.

What comes next for Alicia? That remains to be seen. Hopefully she won't be offended by the attention she's getting from Internet surfers the way Allison Stokke was. In fact, if she wants to retire from the high beam, now would be the time to do it.
