Sorry to be stroppy, today hasn't been my day.<br /><br />I admit I miss livestreaming. Hugely. The last we saw it was, what, 2008? I hope it doesn't become an "only in Olympic years" thing. Heck, Rushmoor gym in the UK broadcast their event every year, to overseas viewers no less! And update scores live, that's an awesome treat.<br /><br />I mean... Maybe it's some weird intervening year thing, and in 2012 they'll reinvent themselves as a constantly-updating news resource from Olys onwards. The day we get some kind of BGTV/Gymnastike site I'll die an ecstatic death. I'm hoping this new CEO will implement some of the cool interactive, communicative measures we've seen come out of the British program.<br /><br />Until then I have a feeling we're all our own reporters!Mezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370137747840565343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-63171643590301562262011-07-16T20:18:41.938+10:002011-07-16T20:18:41.938+10:00The mens results are now comming up on the GA site...The mens results are now comming up on the GA siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-81592505431561091642011-07-16T20:13:36.419+10:002011-07-16T20:13:36.419+10:00No disrespect meant to you Mez.

What I meant is that if an in house gym comp can be covered so well by you and other fans then Gymnastics Australia should be able to cover Nationals better. They could set up a youtube account or upload videos to the facebook page. It really shows how much the fans keep this sport alive. Fan reports and videos are great but for nationals there really should be some official coverage of some sort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-85177892044062729492011-07-16T19:45:19.586+10:002011-07-16T19:45:19.586+10:00Well, I'm terribly sorry I couldn't get to...Well, I'm terribly sorry I couldn't get to Perth, Anon. <br /><br />Brindabella will be at the EF tomorrow night so should be texting me updates as the event unfolds if she isn't tweeting instead (which I really appreciate, because she deserves to sit and just watch the comp like a normal spectator). <br /><br />Gemeanie and Angeandbella are putting up vids over the weekend.<br /><br />Doing some kind of multimedia coverage of a comp means you miss watching with your own eyes. It's a big call to make on a fan who has paid for a seat and spends most of the time juggling phones, or staring at their phone (or a screen).<br /><br />Yeah, GA might have dropped the ball but the fans are trying to keep it in the air.
