NBC broadcasts meets throughout the year, but much more in olympic years. College gymnastics is on ESPN a lot, too.
My sister (Kristen) was a Level 10 gymnast - the level just below the olympic girls (Elite Level). The decision to go on the olympic path has to be decided very early on, and she didn't want to do it. As a Level 10 gymnast, she was already in the gym 20 hours per week. The Elite Level girls are there much more, including before and after school every day.
Kristen also has several (I think it's 10) All-American honors in collegiate gymnastics. So, gymnastics was a huge part of our lives for almost 20 years.
We went to the olympic trials in 1992 when they were in Baltimore.
