CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR presents the 2011 NCAA WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS presented by Buick on Saturday, May 14 (3:00-5:00 PM, ET; taped 4/15-17) from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
No. 1-seed Alabama attempts to win its first NCAA team title since 2002, while defending champion UCLA tries to win its seventh championship in the last 15 years. Also competing are the University of Utah, women’s gymnastics’ original dynasty team; as well as Oklahoma, Nebraska and Michigan, who are all seeking their first NCAA team gymnastics championship. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. CBS Sports’ Tim Brando, along with 1996 Olympic gold medalist Amanda Borden call the action, while Vin DeVito produces and Suzanne Smith directs.
Spoiler … Alabama wins.
It’s 2011 and we still don’t have LIVE TV coverage of Women’s Gymnastics. That’s crazy. What a lost opportunity.
This week the College coaches recommended a change from the traditional Super 6 to a Fantastic 4 team finals. Hopefully that shorter, simpler format will better appeal to TV.
