While I agree about the judges, Romania said that it should be 3 Bronzes. The Original Romanian Bronze Medalist Ana Bărbosu who should've been 5th, Jordan Chiles who should've been 4th, and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea who should've been 3rd (Bronze). It is the IOC which is grandstanding.

Chiles was on 5th place,. not even 4th place and romanians had 3rd and 4th place. The fair ruling had Chiles on 5th, either way with the upper score or lower, USA tried to steal the honest history and they should be punished for their looting abilitites, that's what they are good at, only stealing. The only reason Chiles was on bronze was that Romanians were treated with injustice 2 times in a row. Chiles is only good for stealing, even with upper score she would be at most on 4th, the cameras proved that, the real bronze winner was the romanian girl on 4th, not the one on 3rd.

Video reviews clearly show that Sabrina's foot NEVER went out of bounds, but the gymnastics officials rejected the Romanian coach's inquiry. Give that tenth of a point back to Sabrina and she would have won the bronze outright with a score of 13.800, over both Ana and Jordan. She was wronged just as much in this fiasco.

The point is that you appeal immediately after you receive your score. You can't wait until other scores come in and then ask for a review. The protest has to be in before the winner is announced. Those have been the rules for 15 years. There was a worldchampionship where the US lodged protests on 4 occasions and each time, right before the announcement of the winner. 3 of the protests were accepted. Other gymnasts started complaining that protesting a score is not a tool to snatch a win. You dont file a protest unless you are sure a skill you did wasn't counted. And if you do; do it right away. Don't wait until you realise you might not medal. It's really unfair on Jordan and the bronze medalist.

There are rules and arbitration committees for a reason. And right thing happened in the end. Romania has the bronze medal. Like many sports, including baseball, soccer, football, basketball, and even in fencing, the rules have a mechanism for questioning the judges/referee’s decisions. Decisions made by hugged during a play or a performance can be reviewed by the request of a coach AS LONG AS the coach submits their request for a review within the time allowed to do so. The US team should have made their inquiry in the right amount of time according to the rules. They did this properly at other times before. So they know the rules. They just didn’t do it right this time. Anyway, there is plenty of blame for the judges but there is also plenty of blame for the U.S. gymnastics coaches as well.

The Romanian delegation contested the penalty on the spot but they were dismissed due to untimely presentation. However, Chiles contestation was originally accepted even though it was untimely as well. The Romanian team and prime minister were scandalized by what happened to Voinea, not Barbosu, and they appealed on the grounds that the penalty in case of Voinea was flawed. It seems that the result of the appeal backfired for both Chiles and Voinea, and favored Barbosu instead. It is sad for all three participants, I am sure none will be super happy with this result.

And Jordan’s coach were too busy talking to each other instead of doing their jobs and protecting Jordan’s rights by immediately appealing, instead they wasted 45 precious seconds and they appealed too late. The medal should have been Sabrina’s. Since mistakes were done basically by everyone involved and procedures were not followed, they decided to give the medal to the girl whose score was correct and nobody messed up her score, Ana.

@lb7617 3 ай бұрын

I gasped when watching Sabrina’s routine live on TV during the floor final because I thought her toe grazed the out of bounds area. Right before her second tumbling pass, she swung her left foot over the floor as part of her choreo, and her left foot came extremely close to the out of bounds. However, watching it back on replay, it really doesn’t look like her foot ended up going out of bounds. Sabrina’s score should’ve 100% been AT LEAST a 13.800, I thought she was even underscored for her execution as she showed very clean landings, good height and form on her leaps, and showed good artistry as well. Here is the link to her floor routine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWG2l3yAZcqAlassi=QAJpV9NErIJDPFPy At 34 seconds into the video is where her foot came very close to going out of bounds, but never touched the floor. Does FIG or the IOC have a statement about Sabrina’s OOB deduction? This is very interesting. At this point, they should award all three girls with the bronze medal (Sabrina, Ana, and Jordan) for these horrendous judging errors!

@kstdrew15 3 ай бұрын

Romania didn't get a whole week. They had a problem with changing the scoreboard showing Barbosu on 3rd place. The judges should've refrained from displaying it before the inquiry period was over. The other gymnast (Voinea) was wrongfuly deducted 0.1 points for an error she did not commit, and an appeal was made, but the judges decided to reject her inquiry. Had they accepted it, she could have finished in 3rd place with 13.800, ahead of Chiles' new score (13.766) and Barbosu (13.700). There was no explanation given and I still don't understand why the court maintained this decision. If they claim Voinea's inquiry came too late, then so and Chiles', in which case the new decision is correct. However, regardless of technicalities, they did all 3 gymnasts wrong and the common sense solution was to give all of them the bronze medal, which Romania requested. However, the court decided to fudge up even more and, as I said, even the new decision seem correct, it's far away from being the best one. And I agree with you: those judges should be permanently banned from any competition and the rules have to change to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
