As a men’s gymnastics fan, I too find they are not covering enough of the man’s events. They covered all 4 of the girls’ events. Do they figure that the guys have too many events? Gymnastics for the all around is a sextathalon! Cover all the events! Why do we have to see every round of beach volleyball?

Also, with their “you can watch EVERYTHING live” policy, there is fine print: IF YOU HAVE SIX PAIRS OF EYES LIKE A TARANTULA. They show all six events live, on separate feeds on their app. So while you can follow USA around on their events, you miss seeing who else does what on their other events. As soon as the meet is over, all the feeds go off.

Not happy at all with their broadcasting. I hate the way they keep cutting off the gym and going back to swimming or volleyball. ugh. Gymnastics, especially men’s, is one of the hardest, most amazing sports of all. People love watching it. So bleeping SHOW it, as uninterrupted as possible.
