The GYMNASTICS at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Junior Olympic National Championships was excellent.
The EQUIPMENT, supplied by Whitey Anson of AAI, was perfect.
The coaches are there for the competition. I heard no complaints.
…. But here’s where I found the meet lacking:
• scant media coverage
• no LIVE blog (only one gym Mom was tweeting)
• no LIVE scoring
• no dedicated home page for the competition
• Mr. Video Online was not there. So no videos of the meet are available.
Coach Jason MacDonald did post some routines on Gymnastike. Thanks.
The City of Long Beach is wonderful destination. The arena superb. But I wasn’t impressed with the set-up.
Please leave a comment if you agree or disagree. I’ve not been to JOs in 3 or 4 years, so I’m not sure how this one compared.
The set-up for the Men’s JO Championships in the same venue, a week earlier, was much more impressive, IMHO.
… I’m responsible for Social Media at the next big meet in North America. We’ll try to do better.
