I think its nice to see the gymnasts have fun and express themselves outside competition, but after a while the routines start to get repetitious and boring. I enjoy professional gymnastics because I'll take gymnastics any I can get it, but there are problems with it. I would like to see a professional meet with real scoring, just easier requirements. Amy, USA Personally, I prefer to see amateur competitions, like nationals, Europeans, worlds, Olympics, etc. I like to see the best athletes at their peak, trying for perfection and a title.
Professional meets are less intense and exciting.
The judges sometimes know nothing about gymnastics, and scores are based on personalities or laughs. Vanessa Atler was great, however. Her tumbling was incredible. It's good, but not better than a double layout punch front. Mass. I think Vanessa Atler should have won the meet.
