2008 U.S. Olympians Alicia Sacramone is dating Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn.

“I’m dating Brady Quinn, so I travel to Cleveland on Sunday afternoons for home games,” Sacramone, 21, said during a recent interview with USA Gymnastics.

Sacramone adds that she’s been living at home, searching for an apartment and preparing to transfer out to a different university in between trips to Ohio.

She’s also training.

“It’s hard getting skills back. Mentally I feel like I can do it, but physically my body is not ready yet,” Sacramone said. “I’m working beam and vault and slowly working on floor. That won’t be for a while though.”

After spending the summer in L.A. and doing an internship for clothing manufacturer Tank Farm, Sacramone announced that she would go back to training just prior to the 2009 U.S. Championships in August.  She hopes to compete at the 2010 Nationals in Hartford, Connecticut.

“L.A. was not my scene,” she said.

Quinn, 25, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns as their 22nd pick back in 2007 after four good seasons with Notre Dame.

“He said he’s excited to come to a gymnastics meet,” she said. The two were introduced to each other at a charity event, she said.

Sacramone won a silver medal with the 2008 U.S. Olympic team and just barely missed a bronze medal on vault.
