USA Gymnastics officials say an arbitration panel won’t reconsider a decision asking gymnast Jordan Chiles to return the bronze medal she won at the Paris Olympics
Wouldn’t Sabrina have won if the Romanian team made the correct challenge though? Both Chiles and Sabrina seemed to have been penalised by not-quite-perfect challenges. A 3-way split shouldn’t take away from Chiles’s win IMO.
She is, some Americans are completely arguing with blinders on. Even posting low quality pics that she is out of bounds when there are clear pics she is in. Also, people are saying her couches should have inquired about, but other people are saying they might be allowed to inquire only about difficulty.
This isn’t a black and white situation. The judges messed up bad. For Jordan not scoring it correctly in the first place and afterwards for allowing her to appeal when it was too late. For Sabrina for deducting 0.1 for nothing. Ana has been caught in between this whole mess and it’s not her fault. They should have given 3 bronzes and call it a day like the Romanian federation requested.
No reason to share when Chiles justifiably won third on her own.
I’m not sure you know what “justifiably” means because this whole debacle just proves it’s very much in the air.

Yes if the Romanians inquired at the event about Sabrina’s OOB and that got reversed she would be in 3rd place.
Isn’t it the other Romanian who should be third?
