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 understand why there’s so much hate towards Romania right now, we are the ones who asked for the medals to be shared, lol. Plus it was Ana who was thrown to the sides the day of the competition.
This fiasco has fuck all to do with what I think about Romania. The country has a special place in my heart bc of family and the blame is clearly on the judges & CAS.
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.
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.
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.
Because everyone knows that the arguing parties don’t have control over the judges’ decision/solution. This is a forseeable outcome of challenging a result
Bc they must’ve submitted bogus evidence that the USA coach was late to challenge the difficulty ruling. Why did Romania say they were late when they weren’t??
Some idiots made social media racists comments on the Romanian side (black podium, monkey, eyc.). Some idiots made racist/xenophoboc remarks on the American side (“white girl tears”, white privilege, etc). What does this have to do with the topic at hand. There are idiots in both countries making vile comments.
All of this is trivial in the grand scheme of things. As far as day to day life….it’s clear where I’d rather be.
You will see many sympathetic wealthy Americans step up to take care of Jordan; of which we have a healthy supply of. She has her gold medal; she was born An American.
Meanwhile, since you’re a Moldova away from being gobbled up by mother Russia I suspect we’ll be getting a call fairly soon 🤫🤓
I don’t what our foreign relations standing is with Romania but this just set us back 50 years

No reason to share when Chiles justifiably won third on her own.

Isn’t it the other Romanian who should be third?

Yes if the Romanians inquired at the event about Sabrina’s OOB and that got reversed she would be in 3rd place.
I’m not sure you know what “justifiably” means because this whole debacle just proves it’s very much in the air.
Because it is easier to hate small countries that have no race cards
What do you mean by “no race cards,” exactly

CAS didnt take the evidence from the romanian fed, they took it from Omega.
TAS didn’t consider any Romanian evidence.
The Romanians are the ones who claimed USA didn’t challenge in time right
This isn’t on Romania. It is on the judges and the IOC.
None of the women involved or the counties involved should be getting any hate.
Romanian fans have been making super racist comments towards Jordan. It’s why she left social media.

I don’t think it would to be honest. The Romanian Fed wanted all 3 to get medals. It’s the IOC and FIG that refused to do that.
Not far off. It’s been 49 years since president gerald ford visited romania.
Also Bush (Jr iirc) visited once
I’m pretty sure Clinton visited at some point…
You forgot about Clinton and Dubbya
Sure, buddy.
I am pretty sure US of A will declare war to Romania in a very short time.
In the mean time, I will buy you some paper towels to wipe those salty tears of sorrow from your lovely face.
