[@mjamitche5245]

They never disputed the step out of bounds within the 4 minutes they had. They could have submitted an inquiry. Whatever inquiry that was submitted was rejected. We don't know if the neutral deduction actually had to do with out of bounds. Jordan's inquiry was accepted and was within the time frame or they wouldn't have accepted it. The judges decisions should stand as is. Going back days later and disputing judging has never been done officially in gymnastics. FIG and IOC don't get involved in judging. They don't need to set this level of unprecedented involvement into the judge's job, up to stripping medals for judging disputes. It unprofessional and demonstrates corruption. If these judges have made mistakes, fire them. But you hired them and let them do this job. They can all be fired afterward. But, to get involved like this by re-judging the competition later by a boardroom full of people who decide to strip medals, is really dangerous.

[@annad5357]

​@@mjamitche5245The Romanians couldn't have disputed the step out because for some obscure reasons only the difficulty score can be disputed, and the Romanian gymnast was unfairly penalised for execution.
