Every year, days before the start of the US Gymnastics Championships, I tell myself "Maybe, this will be the time when NBC changes the way they broadcast the event and we get to see as many routines from as many gymnasts as possible, rather than just seeing the same few gymnasts taping their ancles, applying make-up,.... while somebody else is performing." Unfortunately, every year I'm disappointed yet again as it is business as usual from NBC, so we see very little gymnastics.
While USA Gymnastics publishes all of the routines in their YouTube channel, it is still very insulting for all the gymnasts competing that they won't even get one of their routines featured in the official broadcast.
This is why I made the above video, to show the best skills from some of the routines that we missed and to give some airtime to every single gymnast who competed. I separated the gymnast into 2 different groups. The ones from the bottom of the results table and those who retired were the ones that got next to no exposure and they are the ones shown on this video. I hope you enjoy it.
