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

[MaryClare]

I believe that Brevets have a copy but have been told not to release it...

I guess that’s fair enough with the case still ongoing

 

[Doug1233]

i doubt its the case thats the reason

they still havent released the tokyo 2020 book.

in fact, i dont think the FIG ever release any detailed books. they always come from a leak, i believe

Tired of a year old post?

Also, can we admit floor music is highly personal? Some is like nails on a chalkboard but the gymnast must like it enough to hear it every day. Even your favorite fx ever, you'll find someone who hated the music, thought it was background noise, or didn't fit the dance or whatever. And, Simone's music was hardly the "worst."

Nooo, tired of Simone going nuclear.

 

[rlayt]

I’ll still take petty and nuclear Simone over self-righteous Skinner any day!

 

[onodian]

Skinner can't be our measuring stick for anything. Except vault caressing maybe

It’s really not the same thing. Simone has a team of media professionals advising her and people whose job is to protect and promote her brand and image. Simone should be more professional

Simone is imperfect for sure. She’s unapologetic about her opinions and because of that she draws a lot of criticism. She doesn’t turn her personal opinions over to her team. I’d just rather see “influencer” Skinner STFU. I wish she have a team to speak for her. It’s crazy how a little blonde hair and blue eyes goes so far.

I think you are vastly overestimating Skinner’s reach and influence. Especially within the gymnastics world where she has absolutely burned her bridges regarding any sort of role going forward. Don’t forget she was previously at nationals working with John R.

Yeah Skinner seems to be very happy to be a tradwife.

Nooo, tired of Simone going nuclear.

"No one caresssss" feels pretty mild from what I've seen of social media.

Look, I don't think Simone and I would be friends in real life and she ain'tpaying me to leap to her defense, but this is absolute weaksauce compared to the vile hate that gets heaped on her. I'm giving her a pass on this one.

Nooon caressssssssssss

I mean if anything Simone was asking for it, who tf talks back to a judge on Twitter critiquing their routines casually?

Exactly. The fact that Simone receives a lot of online hate doesn’t mean it’s ok for her to behave like a high schooler towards someone posting a perfectly fair critique.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yes, Simone was in the wrong on that one. She just was.

That said, I attribute plenty of blame to the knobhead who decided to make it her business in the first place. That is simply not a situation that needed to be created.

It's especially mystifying when it comes from a supposed fan. I know, at a situation of high stress I'm going to try and drag in someone who has already experienced vast quantities of online hate and sometimes struggles to regulate her social media engagement. That'll really help her.

Although I suppose people like that don't do well at recognising appropriate internet behaviour themselves, so perhaps he/she/it genuinely didn't realise.

As for Skinner, she is just... something else. Seems to balls up every opportunity given to her.
