What if i enjoyed a sport that wasn't run by imbeciles. Excuse my bluntness, it's not usually my style, but I was looking for comedic effect. Although it's a little true as well, I just don't like calling people imbeciles unless I know them personally and I'm sure they're imbeciles

And i will be firmly rooting for their mother

Lysenko still tops that list for me

I mean, to be perfectly fair, what was quoted in the CAS decision was the general right of the coach to have line and time calls reviewed, and then the section about the JUDGES and who had to attend an inquiry on an ND. Nowhere in the TR does it state the ND inquiry is a different process. It...

that's what makes this whole story so depressing, so many levels of unfair .

I mean, my question would be, does FS really do that, if you look at exercises like yuzuru 2016 FS at worlds which was all kinds of a mess and still scored 90+ in the pcs... BUT, we're talking ag, and gymnastics will deduct, in Ana's case, the step and the oob, so somewhere between 0.2 and...

The judges weren't really suddenly generous to Ana. She scored a tenth higher than qualifying. 3-9 were all in a very very close range and so it would come to the performance of the day. She had the oob with the step but she was clean in the other landings. So she grabbed it on a day where...

So you think any other federation would have been like: hey, my gymnast didn't step oob but got a tenth deducted. But well, never mind, yay! It's rather your Rom-hate getting the best of you

It's colonoscopies, but I mean yeah, knock yourself out

I think the general feeling, with the landing errors, was that she wasn't going to medal. So maybe she thought "right, not enough" and didn't even let the d- score sink in? We're talking 30 seconds here, maybe she just didn't realise, it's a very different situation from voinea who was expecting...

I think that's pretty standard, there must be some price, be it financial or otherwise, to pay to inquire, otherwise it would be neverending. Tennis does it by giving them three chances in a set, for example. It's hard to envision something like this for gym so they went with money I guess.

As per the nd deduction, they said they should have known they had to specifically inquire based on these two articles: I mean article 4 is about judges' responsibilities. You'd think that tidy bit of info could have make its way to article 8, where inquiries are handled, but I guess where's...

But apparently there seems to be a mechanism, the omega one?

I think they probably wanted to clear this before the Olympics were over, to avoid the whole paul hamm situation (his hearing was two months after the Olympics ended)

how r u so pissed? This actually went your way 🤔 we talk a lot about sore losing, but sore winning might be worse
