I really enjoyed our last meet, however, I noticed that some parents were not very courteous or restrained when their gymnasts were on floor. Lots of very loud screaming, banging on chairs etc. that I found very distracting. I have never seen this at a meet before. At the most there is polite applause after each girl is finished. My daughter said it was somewhat distracting when she was on beam. I would hate to see a girl get injured because of this. I wonder if there could be an announcement regarding waiting for the results before cutting loose with the noise. To me this is as distracting to the gymnasts as flash photography.
I know college meets can be kind of raucous but this was compulsory and lower level optionals.
