People Dragged NBC For Not Giving Enough Coverage to Gymnast Star Trinity Thomas
"NBC, you're missing one Ms. Trinity Thomas."
Fans of rising gymnast star Trinity Thomas aren't having it. They jumped on Twitter over the weekend to blast NBC for not providing enough coverage of the 16-year-old sensation during the U.S. gymnastics championships.
Thomas finished a strong third in each of the balance beam and floor exercise events and fourth in the all-around competition, but for some inexplicable reason, NBC skipped many of her performances. And when they did finally put some cameras on her, it was during the vault — her weakest event.
Here are some no-chill tweets that people fired off at the network followed by footage of the teen superstar in the making doing her thing.

When NBC did "finally" show Trinity, it wasn't during her best event
DAMN!
