Title: Gymnastics Beats Kentucky 196.575-194.800 in Front of Sold Out Crowd Post by: pmull on January 26, 2013, 01:47:10 AM This was the ninth annual Power of Pink Event. Check out the photo gallery link. The entire campus supported this event and was decked out in Pink.
Quote In front of a sold-out crowd of 15,075 fans that were mostly dressed in pink for Alabama gymnastics' ninth-annual Power of Pink meet, the Crimson Tide beat No. 15 Kentucky, 196.575-194.8. Prior to the meet, Alabama honored 18 breast cancer survivors as part of its breast cancer awareness initiative. Each survivor was paired with a Tide gymnast and the pair was announced in the spotlight with the fanfare of fireworks usually reserved just for the gymnasts. "What touched me the most was when they asked - not just the 18 survivors we had down on the floor - all breast cancer survivors to stand and then all cancer survivors to stand," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "To see the number of people that have battled, I think it's amazing."
