Why isn't gymnastics on TV like basketball and baseball?
I mean, it is the X-TREME sport, and it's never on TV or there's never gymnastics in the news. It's like no one cares about it, really. WHY?!

Who holds the world record for 100m?
Sadly, they are on television - at like 6:00AM! It's so stupid; they'll play baseball/basketball/any other boring male sport like fishing, and then they'll show gymnastics in the morning when no one is up! Or late at night. I really don't see a reason to it. Males do gymnastics, too, but I guess it's still a "female" sport so they don't show it on male-dominated channels.Pathetic...
Who was the actual gymnast to be given the first perfect ten?
they are... when there is a big event for them to show.Did I. Slutskaya's, the Russian ice skaters, husband travel with her to the Torino olympics?
not totally sure...but its probly because there isnt wide enough interest for it...i mean, i like soccer a lot, but its rarely on tv in america also, i bet gymnastics is on in china or something tho! they're really into it i think!What was the metal tally's for each of the competing countries for Melbourne 2006 games?
because nobody cares about it, the audience is way too small compared to the other major sports, advertisers won't buy commercial time when its broadcast except on the olympics.Its just not a major sport in this country and if advertisers won't sponsor it and the audience doesn't show up then there is no money in it.

Who the FU©K cares about gymnastics?Because they only show easy sports, therefore you def. can't show gymnastics on TV. So sad...
Agreed, a tremendous sport but for American audiences, not much appeal. Too much competition with other sports.
Who are the 8 Olympic Medalist in the Philippines?
$$$Except for the Olympics, very few people watch gymnastics. If you don't have viewer, you don't have ad revenue.
People watch basketball and baseball because they understand them and have probably even played them at one time or another.
Did you like the performance of Russian figure dancer Plushchenko?
there on...you just have to be watching it on a certain channel at a certain time.Why aren't the Olympics broadcast live & without interruption on NBC?
I have no idea and that makes me so mad! We work harder than any other athletes and yet they can't bother to show us on TV. I think gymnastics is so much mor interesting than some idiot who can't even spell his own name dribble a ball around. You don't even have to know anything about gymnastics to think that is is cool. I don't understand football and I know that it is torture when I have to watch it! And they say that the big events are covered. But Worlds have not been televised in years! NBC is the only network that shows it, so kudos to them...Can anyone ell me how i can get a trackandfield sponsorship?
i don't know, i hate that, it's probably the hardest sport EVER!! also it's sooooo much fun to watch!! I agree with whoever just said, "they only show the easy sports on tv!!":(
