Fuck it. Let Simone pawn the silver off onto Jordan
Or Suni could give her one of her bronzes! LOL
Judges make a mistake on the routine difficulty.
Appeal filed and accepted.
Appeal overturned for allegedly missing the cutoff by 4 seconds.
Appeal filed based on video proof that the original appeal was filed before the time limit.
Appeal denied because you can’t appeal an incorrect decision.Plus the issue with the incorrect score for another competitor by penalizing her for stepping out of bounds when it didn’t occur.
The system is broken and needs to be revamped.
If the goal is only to use technicalities to protect the judges then they’re definitely meeting their goal. The goal should be to get it right no matter what, in which case these people could not look worse than they do now.
Maybe I can clarify things.
There is no “allegedly”, the only time that matters is the time recorded using the official clock of the Olympics. Late is late no matter if it’s 4s or 4 minutes. That part is not subjective.
Appeals are not made on video “proof”, videos are not taken into account. The only thing that matters is the official clock.
There are many things broken, but this isn’t one of them. There is one source of truth, the official clock.
There is one source of truth, the official clock.
Do you have a video of the “official clock”? Because it certainly sounds like there is not one
Appeal denied because you can’t appeal a decision based on incorrect data.
Does it say when you can appeal a decision? Seems it has to be during a full moon or something of the sort.
The US was trying to appeal a decision that was made the day before and in which THEY ALSO PARTICIPATED and they agreed with. It’s like appealing every day repeatedly for the same thing. What exactly is hard to understand about that?
evidence is now coming out that CAS did not get in touch with the correct ppl in the US for the meeting. This led to the US not having the same amount of time as Romania to gather evidence. There is a US reporter and a Romanian reporter that are reporting this.
These rules and regulations for gymnastics are not governed by reason. It’s the same with Bird Law.
This one actually makes a lot of sense.
CAS and the IOC about to fuck around and find out that there’s yet another sport the US excels at and that’s litigation
So very true. I don’t understand why they want to piss off some of the biggest faces of the Olympics.
And one of the best viral moments of the olympics with the black girl magic giving Rebecca her flowers moment.
Well that’s why we’re here! That clearly wasn’t ideal for the powers that be. Tell me I’m wrong?!
So in your opinion, they should have falsified the correct verdict so they don’t “piss off” Americans… interesting opinion you have, favoritism + bullying all in one!
What exactly happens in that fantasy of yours? The US sues the court itself?
Not quite, but close. An arbitral tribunal (like the CAS) isn’t a “real” court, in the sense of being a government institution. And so while arbitral awards are generally binding, if there is a fundamental flaw in the arbitration process, you can apply to vacate the arbitration award. The grounds for doing so are very narrow, but this appears to be what they intend to do, given their reference to the Swiss courts.
That’s hilarious.
To the Swiss Courts we go!
Yeah, to be honest, it’s a long shot. But worth it just to make them spend more time, money, and reputational capital defending the indefensible.
With the hopium again. There is less than 5% chance the case is even accepted and in the history of TAS only 10 cases since 1984 have been overturned.
But sure this time.
Least unhinged and entitled american when something doesn’t go their way
Okay this made me cackle. It’s so true
americans rarely have a chance to Karen for good, now’s our chance
Ok real question why is USAG inquiry just posted everywhere every day, isn’t there a similar situation for the Romanian gymnast?
The Romanians have been posting also.
We’re good with kicking Romania out of NATO now, right?
No, this the judges’ fault. Not Romania’s
Well it’s Romania’s too for trying sneak a medal they didn’t deserve on a bullshit (and incorrect) technicality
Romania requested 3 bronze medals. If they just listened to them, this would all be over with.
Are you dumb they are just as entitled to this medal as US is. All three competitors should get the medal from these screw ups
Is it true that they didn’t even really have an official timekeeper for the appeal timeclock?
This thing is such a goddamned mess.
What a cluster…who granted these clowns authority,?
Yeah don’t give the medal back they can try and come get it. Do the right thing and give the three women medals
All of a sudden I moved and didn’t update my address 💅
3?
The two romanians and jordan keeps hers.
What two Romanians? Isn’t this only between 1 and chiles?
Sorry but that Gogean getting credited at the inquiry alone tells that the judging is broken and they’re corrupt as hell.
It was close enough to 1.5 revolutions to get credit. She probably got a precision deduction for it anyway.
Her feet landed at 360+30 degrees at best. And her chest and hips were facing about 360+ 45 degrees. But the cop says anything short of 30 degrees (which means she must complete 360+150 degrees) must get downgraded. Judges actually watching a replay and deciding to credit it was the biggest injustice/ judging bias imo.
This just confirms that the CAS is a kangaroo court.
I’m so glad most US sports don’t deal with CAS on any sort of regular basis.
Sometimes the great and terrible thing about sports is saying “well the refs screwed us” and moving on. Holding a grudge for years/decades, sure. Debating the results over drinks at the pub? Sure. Trying to get the actual result changed? That’s crazy behavior.
Yeah thats just the nature for a lot of sports right, you often dont get to overturn an obviously incorrect call after the fact. Like you dont overturn an obviously offside goal after the match ends. Or you dont overturn an obvious pass interference in a conference final, no matter how egregious that new orleans game was. You just dont get to do that in sports. So i can see why the rule is in placed. Its just a shitty situation all around that normally can be avoided of the ref/judge was able to give the correct call
And bowing to political pressure.
Well we can do pressure also.
Do you even hear yourself? “Bowing to political pressure” - ah yes, the mighty political pressure of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation. Also following up with a threat. You are unhinged at this point!
