Justice for Jordan seems a bit over the top.

If everything had been done accurately and correctly by the judges on the day of floor finals, then Jordan still wouldn’t have a medal. If we’re going to go back and review things and undo all “wrong” that were done, then Romania still deserves the Bronze. Sabrina Voinea was jobbed just as hard as Jordan Chiles or Ana Bărbosu.

    The Romanian girl had a much better floor routine. In fact she should’ve got silver because biles went out of bounds twice. Romanian was much better

    It depends on the timeline you believe. America’s contingent says they have video proof it was prior to 1 minute.

    Someone in CAC had represented Romania as recently as June.

    Apparently the info wasn’t even sit to the correct American representatives.

    Sounds pretty unjust and like a broken systematic familiar to me.

        So bizarre anyone would do that when Jordan has always been an uplifting spirit in gymnastics

    Penalty for stepping out…athlete didn’t step out (Sabrina). Yes, I’m one of those people that trusts their eyes and ears and not what the echo chamber tells them to believe.

    Sabrina was not robbed! You are assuming based on videos on social media. Ana nor Sabrina had the same difficulty score as Jordan. Jordan won. Stop this false narrative that caused this mess in the first place.

    We’ll know it’s serious only once they use a hashtag.

    I mean, you can’t say four seconds over a minute was too long and then also appeal something from two weeks ago.

    The interesting thing to me is, what is justice in this situation? Getting to keep that medal? No matter who has that medal, it’s never going to be a symbol of achievement. It’s going to be a symbol of that shit show from Paris ‘24. As someone who becomes a gymnastics expert for like a week every four years I acknowledge I may not understand, but at this point there is no justice for this situation. The only thing left is for the focus to be off of appeals and governing bodies and back on the athletes and the competition and that’s not gonna happen until the next major completion. Can’t come soon enough.

    I get that there’s no way of proving this but it seems IOC/CAS/WADA are thumbing their nose at the US for this

      The WADA isn’t involved in women’s gymnastics scoring issues and/or their appeals. I think it’s just a confluence of events that led to a bad situation.

        I know. But WADA and CAS are both under IOC.

    Jordan? I didn’t realise they had much of a gymnastics team.
