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

[heythere]

Judges as in all gymnastics judges. Judges in a generic sense. I would not say judges if I meant the CAS.

My sense is that judges aren’t supposed to be on your side and you as a competitor or coach better know the details of the technical regulation.

But the gymnastics judges were clearly on the American side. Their response should have been to reject their inquiry because it was submitted too late. This was either corruption or incompetence that's why CAS had to step in and correct their error.

Oh, don't say things like that, people might call you crazy.

Can you imagine the shoe on the other foot? Not sure there would be any returning of medals..

 

[Doug1233]

Wikipedia is not the official rankings lol I could go in there right now and edit MyKayla Skinner in as the bronze medalist, that doesn't make it official.

Lol I was pointing out how quick the gymnerds react lol

It’s likely to just be sheer incompetence

Not because she was American, though.

There have been plenty of bad FIG decisions negatively impacting American gymnasts.

Must be a language or cultural barrier here.

As of late?

Imagine a press conference where Jordan gives the medal to Ana.

Jordan would be hailed as an absolute hero. They can work this to her advantage, no question.

Nah, I'm just bitter I got called crazy for suggesting Jordan get ahead of it and turn it into a publicity thing to her benefit and quite a few people agreed that I was crazy.

The whole situation is rough and I want to know how far outside the minute the appeal was just so we can up the level of insanity. Honestly, I figured they would dual award Jordan and Sabrina, Ana was not on my bingo card.

 

[JaJa]

They are kind of lucky they announced this on a Saturday. I'm sure it will be picked up soon, but the media is generally slower on the weekends.

absolutely. One major rule of PR is you bury bad news by releasing it to the media on Friday afternoon. Saturday will also do.

Excuse me, her real name is “Temu Jade Carey.”

Maybe in a fleeting sort of way

You were suggesting that without any sort of ruling, Jordan should give up her bronze to make people feel better. I absolutely agree that it would be to her advantage to very publicly give up her medal, in light of the ruling today

talk about the redemption tour - jesus

It still is.

 

[heythere]

The judges aren’t on your side. You and your coach better know and follow the rules to the letter.

Again, your statement is false. The gymnastics judges were clearly on the American side. I don't understand why would you disagree with this.

 

[Doug1233]

Doesn’t the IOC issue awards for good Olympic ideals, sportsmanship blah blah blah?

 

[MaryClare]

Again, your statement is false. The gymnastics judges were clearly on the American side. I don't understand why would you disagree with this.

How is it clear they were on the American side?

I beg of you, please do not involve Mykayla Skinner in this in any way, shape or form. That is about the only way this could get worse.

 

[Doug1233]

Again, your statement is false. The gymnastics judges were clearly on the American side. I don't understand why would you disagree with this.

the way you’re making the argument implies it was because she was american.
