Audio indicates Cecile verbally inquired within a minute. Also, Laurent mentioned trying to submit an inquiry for Simone but that it was never registered.

Shilese Jones will finally get her Olympics.

She competed 13 in her career, hitting 11. I was lucky enough to see her Y2P at 2023 Classic right in front of me, and two rows directly behind her parents.

What if the beam final could be redone

According to the ISU, as long as Valieva's positive test wasn't from the Olympics themselves, ROC could hold onto a medal. Their rules basically never specified whether points get reallocated or stay the same once her results were struck out, but clearly the ISU's interpretation was for her...

I have a feeling Simone's Gogean wasn't credited in EF, the opposite of AA. Her Gogean was clean in AA and almost impossible to not credit, IMO.

Considering Simone said before her score that "Rebeca got it," I don't think she's crying foul over not having another gold.

Nadia was visibly confused and furious when Voinea's score came up.
