ETA: this is just a VENT about how shitty my LOCAL news stations are.
The most decorated gymnast in history, and every single news channel in my area has it buried like it isn’t news.
What. The. Hell
And one doesn’t even have a story that I can find! How is this not news??

Where are you, and why are you looking to find where it *isn't* being covered after you already got the news of it?

ESPN had it in their headlines section. You're right, though, most of the sports sections are so focused on football, you can barely find anything else (and it's PLAYOFF time for baseball!)
Simone Biles is a force - she's amazing.

Not only is her achievement covered on the BBC but the gymnastics tournament from Stuttgart is being broadcast here.
The video is only available in the UK or I would link. Seriously, she is amazing and a joy to watch.
Also covered is the fact that Teenager Coco Gauff has become the youngest player to win a WTA title in 15 years with victory in the Linz Open.(BBC)

In our area football reigns supreme. We rarely get lany other sport live on over the air broadcast.

It’s still early Sunday morning. Most local news stations, which is what it sounds like you’ve been looking at, don’t have staff in to cover breaking sports news now.

NBC said last night that she would likely cross that threshold today. I visited USAToday.com before coming here and it was the next story down after a story about withdrawing troops from Syria.
I think she is getting a lot of press for her accomplishments.

It was all over my feed yesterday by different news agencies. Maybe you need more sources.

She said news channel so I assume she’s talking about on TV. We don’t have regular or cable channels any more but I imagine on a Sunday morning it is all football, all the time. I was just on Twitter a bit ago and with everything happening in Syria, NFL is still dominating. |

Both Simone's and Coco's recent achievements are "top stories" at CNN.com.

I have heard quite a bit. Even KLOVE was singing her praises on her accomplishments on the radio the other day. It's great she has done so amazing, and I have seen it covered a lot. Congrats to her!

It’s been pretty much every other story on my Facebook page since she won the all around. I just watched her win beam. She is just in such a league of her own. I adore her. She may not be getting as much mainstream news coverage as she deserves, but it is out there.

She was on the news we watch for 2-3 days this week.
Lester Holt, NBC and then our local news.
I have also seen it on online sites.

Try being a figure skating fan, if you want to know what lack of sport news coverage looks like.

Angie lives in just about the same broadcast area I do. Football, basketball and baseball reign sumpter in this area. No way in hell are they ( the local broadcast over the air stations are going to run s gymnastic ( or any other girley sport news news until the evening news).
Of course we can look it up online, but it is nice to get news from the local station.

Where are you, and why are you looking to find where it *isn't* being covered after you already got the news of it? Lovely. I’m in Oregon, and I was looking for a BETTER article than the one I saw, since I couldn’t share directly to Facebook from that source. |

I know the info is out there. I started with my local stations because I already have those apps on my phone. It was more a commentary on how crappy my local news stations are.

I missed our local evening news a while ago, but I did see it on their Facebook page.
I also saw it covered in ABCs Good Morning America, before her 2 apparatus competitions today. It was on a lot of media today as it happened a few minutes after each event.

I’m REALLY glad that other news networks are doing a better job of covering it. Seriously, what a MONUMENTAL accomplish for her! She’s amazing.
