Professional Gymnastics Challenge Review

After watching Evolution I was really excited about this format, but this time the Professional Gymnastics Challenge left me a bit disappointed. I still like the format, but ESPN gets a fail for the coverage. This time the meet just didn't flow, camera angles were terrible and the music just didn't fit. Unlike Evolution where skills just flowed from one to the next and it built drama and excitement, this time there were large breaks between skills, there were too many interviews and ESPN decided to do various segments in the middle of events which just broke the flow of the meet. These might work if you do them at half time or at some appropriate break in the meet, but having them halfway through an event was just stupid. The music was also a big fail. It seemed ill thought out and didn't match the skills being tried and at times it was just distracting. Having enjoyed the Evolution event so much I do hope to see this format again, but hopefully next time ESPN can deliver better coverage.
