In 2004, Sacramone would help the US win a team gold medal at the Pacific Alliance Championships, and at which she won the individual vault title. She was predicted to join the American team in the 2004 Olympics, however a poor performance at the 2004 US Nationals stopped her in her tracks. She continued to compete in various tournaments throughout the year, including the Pan American Individual Event Championships, and took first place in vault during the World Cup Finals which helped build her net worth. In the 2005 National Championships, she would win the floor and vault individual titles which led her to be named to the American team, and she won the gold medal on floor during the 2005 World Championships.

Her training led her to be selected for the US team for Beijing – some media blamed Alicia for the US silver medal placing at the Olympics, though she was defended by her teammates as well as other media personnel.
She announced her retirement after the Olympics, but then returned in 2009, however, a shoulder injury delayed her return for a year, when she would become part of the 2010 CoverGirl Classic. She placed first on both beam and vault before returning to the National Championships, gaining first on vault again.
