Robert Akers Photography was so excited to have the chance to attend a USAG clinic with 2008 Olympic Gymnastics Team Captain Alicia Sacramone, and her coaches Mihai and Silvia Brestyan.
Bob, who was the former Maine State Gymnastics Coach of the year, as well as the coach of several High School state winning Maine gymnastics teams, was excited to have the opportunity to combine two of his favorite things-photography and gymnastics.
Bob spent the day photographing Alicia and her coaches. Along with coaching assistance, Alicia took part in an autograph signing, as well as answering young gymnasts questions regarding her experience with the Olympics and the sport of gymnastics.
As many probably know, Alicia was the team captain of this years Beijing Olympic Team that took home a silver medal in the team competition. In addition, she was the 2004 World Champion in the floor exercise.
Please check out below some of the images from the day! Very exciting!
