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
I don’t get why it’s not acceptable that team USA submitted 4 seconds late, even though they had evidence it was on time, but Romania can submit an appeal several days later and that’s enough to overturn
Yet Romania can’t appeal the ruling of their gymnastics who is still the rightful bronze medalist. The Romanian woman who will end up with bronze should be 5th of the judges had done their jobs right or if all appeals were handled correctly.
Because one is about the judging of her performance and the other is about if the rules of the competition was follow, there is a pretty clear difference.
