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.
Sabrina needs to play by the rules of the game just like everyone else. Everyone else challenged their unfair score, but Sabrina’s coach failed to challenge this unfair score. She can’t challenge it days after the competition while her team is simultaneously trying to strip a medal from their competition for challenging their score literally 4-seconds late.
The CAS reviewed their Omega system timestamps and they said it was 4 seconds late. And before anything, Omega is a Swiss company that has been providing the Olympic Games with timestamping services since 1932, so I’ll probably go by their hand and say they’re right.
USAG states they have conclusive video evidence that they submitted the injury on time and their willingness to fight this ruling says a lot to me 🤷🏽♀️ plus olympics has had their many many corrupt scandals, so i put no faith in their system
How come? Looking strictly on the sporting merit, sabrina should get the bronze.
But instead because of the jury fuckedup, the other romanian girl, Ana, will get the bronze
So, one Romanian getting the bronze is as good as another, in your eyes?
Where did i said that? Its a fucked up Situation.
Sabrina is the rightful winner of the bronze medal But instead Ana got the medal.
Major fuckup from the jury
Yes, you just proved precisely my point.
“This Romanian” refers to Barbosu.

Well them submitting 4 seconds after is literally not playing by the rules. You can’t have it both ways.
Agreed. But the US is saying that they have proof it was submitted within the time frame.
Then where is said proof?
Where is the proof that they submitted it 4 seconds late?
They said they are in possession of the evidence.

As I said strictly performance-wise speaking Sabrina should get bronze
