so sick and tired of gymnastics Olympics coverage

[Anonymous]

Why do we pretend to care about gymnastics events at the Olympics when we don't care 99% of the other times between Olympics? Gymnastics sucks anyway because it requires subjective judging. Any sport that requires judging is lame.

There needs to be far more coverage of things like archery, shooting, and heck, even skateboarding if we are going to watch sports with judges. Gymnastics is so boring and lame.

I'm sorry you're being A Clockwork Oranged. In my house we get to pick what sports we watch, it's much better for everyone.

I'm not sure if it works in the US, but I can watch every single sport on CBC Gem (online). You can pick whatever you want to watch!

I'm a fan of a relatively obscure sport, and I love to watch and learn about other obscure sports. I just got Peacock for the duration of the games. I'll watch some gymnastics, but I can also watch all the qualifiers, and the horse thing where they ride around the water features, and the trampoline, and the surfing.

We paid for a month of Peacock $8 and pick what we want to watch. I feel like the networks are always showing beach volley ball.

Every sport is being broadcast. Just find it on Peacock or whatever. It's not hard.

BTW, skateboard is judged.

Now do figure skating in the Winter games.

I don't really understand the complaint that we don't care the rest of the time. It's fine to care a little bit about something or to care occasionally. It's nice to try something a little different from what you usually do sometimes. If my choices were to care about something deeply or not at all, I'd know a lot less about the world.

I’ve always enjoyed watching Olympic gymnastics and am impressed at how powerful the girls have become. But I miss the lithe gracefulness of the past Olympian gymnasts. They looked like they were simultaneously floating and very disciplined. Ethereal.

Most of it’s pretty boring and lame after a while. That’s why I don’t watch.

100% agree OP. Also, why does Simone Biles always get the vast majority of coverage? There are hundreds of other athletes with interesting and inspiring stories.

My new fave is that Stephen Pommel-Horse guy!
