The decision outraged U.S. Olympic and gymnastics officials, and led to a torrent of online abuse against both Chiles and Ana Barbosu, the Romanian athlete who ended up with the bronze.
Because that would be so ridiculously corrupt to adjust her score days after when they didn’t file an inquiry after her routine. Jordan’s case of 4 seconds too late gives them a better chance to overturn the decision of bronze winner.
There is a lot of gray with the way Jordan’s inquiry was handled. And it’s still not really definitive if was late or not. Changing Sabrina’s would be egregious and straight up wrong because she didn’t challenge it until days later.
So then why did this person rule against Sabrina?
Because it benefited Ana?
Ruling against one Romanian and for another Romanian doesn’t mean they’re biased towards Romanians

So they should flex the rules for Jordan? Do basketball shots count if you shoot them 4 seconds after the timer goes off?

Because they appealed the wrong thing?
If the argument is the judge is biased because they’re Romanian then that shouldn’t matter
