FX EF INQUIRY (Jordan Chiles Stripped Of Bronze Medal/USAG launches appeal) PART 2

[ArnoldRimmer]

The WCC twitter account is something. Retweeting screenshots from reddit is certainly a choice.

As is the popcorn thing. I'm honestly surprised the tweets about Rebeca are still up.

Lol. I’m not sure where you are right now. But I’m not driving a car with Moscow licence plates there

North of Spain is pretty OK to have Russian licence plates in Europe. I will certainly not be inviting you to Berlin

Zoe Miller says that WCC twitter account isn't her



Can quite understand why she'd want to disassociate herself from that mess!

It must be Simone then! Because unprofessional.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

The US appeal was rejected. I hope they release the footage.

This is just going to get messier.

 

[Seyonne]

Well, life goes on. Jordan is still an Olympic champion and Sabrina still has nothing.

I am happy for Ana Barbosu.
But that individual medal means/meant a lot to Jordan.
And FIG screwed up BIG time, on so many levels.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

At this point, I think many of us would put in for a bung to get multiple bronzes just to make this whole thing shut up.

I’ll chip in for shipping fees and a medal ceremony. I’ll raise the flags. Just make it stop.

Bitch with this avatar you should know such a bombshell piece of news should be presented in a more dramatic fashion

I must say, of all the arguments in Jordan's favour, which are many, I find this the weakest. She is a multiple Olympic medalist and multiple world medalist, also individually in that case. I guess the medal means a lot to everybody but if we're just going on what they have accomplished, Jordan has the weaker argument there to me. I'm sure it feels like shit now tho.

@Passion I have a hard time believing that the line judges were watching video ONLY of overheard cameras. Like @ruby said...

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I hope at the very least USOPC still awards the prize money that comes with winning a bronze medal.

 

[onodian]

What about us and all the time we put in this? Who's paying for that?

 

[Passion]

@Passion I have a hard time believing that the line judges were watching video ONLY of overheard cameras. Like @ruby said...

If they had multiple cameras with multiple views and still called it wrong that’s even more egregious.

It took a single camera from NBC to see she clearly wasn’t OOB.

Why couldn’t the cameras specifically set up to look for line crossings see it?

Eh, Jordan's got a net worth in the millions, I kind of doubt that the $15,000 is critical to her.

 

[onodian]

Well yes but nbc has ALL the cameras. It was absolutely impossible to see from the feed I was watching

MEDALZ FOR EVERYONE
