Arriving home from a competition, I logged in to see who won the showdown tonight.
It was the farewell home meet in Salt Lake City for Kristina Baskett and Nina Kim. A new attendance record was set tonight in the NCAA.
And — for the first time — I logged in to the (nearly) live video feed on CBS Sports.
Let me tell you. I was impressed.
The best feature was Floor music. It is streamed without the background crowd noise.
I highly recommend it!
Utah looked great on the apparatus I watched — Floor and Beam. Balanced routines: difficulty, execution, and artistry.
Florida … much less impressive. Especially amplitude of jumps and leaps. They’ve really had a problem season. I knew for sure when I saw Ashley Kerr in the beam line-up. Her score of 9.5 was generous. That routine really is not worthy of a top 12 school.
