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

[Memphisgym]

How many inquiries were there on floor today? 4?

 

[Laura722]

Chiles's Gogean was clearly short. Inexplicable they credited upon review, IMO

F*ck. This is so unfair.

 

[MaryClare]

They could Show the D score 30 seconds before the E score and withhold the E score until the inquiry is over.

Yes that is a very good idea

 

[Hatsumomo]

I'm happy for the floor podium.

I'm elated for gold and silver. Bronze I would feel better about it if it was outright versus a last-minute accepted inquiry.

 

[Hatsumomo]

The crowd chanting RE-BE-CA! And Simone and Jordan bowing down to her is cute!

 

[JaJa]

Aw

 

[MaryClare]

Pretty cool that all of the US returning Olympians also won an individual medal

 

[tempest]

I do think the 3 gymnasts in the podium are the correct ones, I just wish it had been in a different order

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Did we ever find out what Voinea’s 0.1 MD was? She didn’t go OOB and it was the difference maker.

How’s everyone holding up after the messiest and wildest last day of artistic gymnastics at the Paris Olympics?

 

[Ginger]

I thought the 2nd and 3rd were not supposed to go to the top until the winner invites them but whatever.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I'm having a lot of trouble facing that reality because I didn't want Rebeca to beat Simone on floor. I'm sorry. I'm trying really hard not to be bitter right now, but it's something that's really hard for me, even as an adult.

Well here's the thing. How does Simone getting gold or silver affect you really? We, the mere mortals, don't get any sort of tax "USA Olympic Medals" bonus. We just get to feel super patriotic for a moment.

Also, Rebeca endured THREE ACL tears to come back as one of the best gymnasts in the world and beat one of the greats fair and square. She very much deserved it.

I don’t know what I need, but I need SOMETHING

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Simone knew she had to control her landings to beat her

And not even that really. 0.6 in neutral deductions is a lot. Simone could've had herself a cute little OOB on every pass and still been fine.

 

[J175]

How far round does the Gogean have to be for credit? It looks like about 1.3 twists to me.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Simone knew she had to control her landings to beat her

Of course, but I'm entitled to be disappointed that Simone couldn't do it today.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I love that the arena plays the popular music from the countries the gold medal winners are from

 

[jezmerallia]

Looks around in the slow mo.

 

[onodian]

that'd be 1.5 twists

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

The person with more ACL tears than knees has won Olympic golds in both the leg events. Take a moment to breathe that in.
