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.
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.
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.
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.

The system is broken and needs to be revamped.
Maybe I can clarify things.

Do you have a video of the “official clock”? Because it certainly sounds like there is not one
Does it say when you can appeal a decision? Seems it has to be during a full moon or something of the sort.
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.
