Why does TV doesn't show Olympics rhythmic gymnastics?

Question

Why does NBC doesn't show any of Rhytmic gymnastics on TV. Even though, US didn't won any of medals, but why don't show other people who are dancing and stuff. I'm so disappointed cuz of artistic gymnastics it's so boring, swimming is boring, track n field is boring. Why don't show everything little by little.

Answer 1

Check the schedule of other NBC networks - it was on today on MSNBC, CNBC or USA...

Answer 2

Eric is correct. NBC was showing coverage of rhythmic gymnastics, though they experienced technical difficulties and didn't finish showing some performances.

Answer 3

sports not shown on NBC are shown on its affiliate stations CNBC, MSNBC. USA and Oxygen. Rhythmic Gymnastics was on MSNBC.  Check you local listings for these stations for all sports not covered on NBC.

Answer 4

That shouldn't even be an event

And, the Idiotic incompetent IOC is taking out baseball and softball

they should be ashamed to call themselves a committee

Answer 5

eh, i saw it on nbc earlier today at around 10-11 am. but i turned it off, because it was boring

Answer 6

its basically because most tv channels have only a limited amount of time to show things, so they show what they think will be most popular and what they will win medals in.

I know how you feel, i live in canada and equestrian is the only event i find really interesting. but cbc didnt show ANY of it until canada began to win medals.

it sucks, but its how sports work.

nbc does have online videos of all the sports though :

try that sight.

Answer 7

It is a difficult sport and the US has never had the structure or support to develop competitors that could challenge for Olympic medals.  The less people understand what's going on, the less they find it entertaining, though many find the group routines incredibly exciting anyway.  The networks and sponsors, as others have said, play to their idea of the biggest audience.

If someone finds it boring or think it's not a sport, please learn more about it.  There's a great show at Sea World in San Diego with some rhythmic gymnastics--so good it outdraws Shamu, and it was selected as the best theme park show in the world.  (I know someone in the show.)

Answer 8

i saw it on today...
