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.
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
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.
