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

[Kittentoes]

So I guess I'm just never watching FX finals then?

 

[MaryClare]

I don't have to try to be a better person than racists. I know that I am, and I have no regard to your opinion on the matter.

I (and USA Gymnastics) also don't have to give a larger platform to a country that has spewed racism unchecked by their political officials and gymnastics leaders.

How isn’t this xenophobia? I’m pretty sure that the entire country of Romania isn’t responsible for what a few of its media says

The media release from CAS references an inquiry at 1min and 4 secs.

 

[makam]

Could the edit on TV have made it seem quicker than it actually was, even live?

We were watching it live--i don't think there is any editing there or Laurie for sure would have retried some of her lines.

 

[MaryClare]

The rules aren’t clear enough and weren’t followed correctly. MaryClare is right about most things.

Fixed it for you

 

[onodian]

How isn’t this xenophobia

Oh it is

 

[makam]

The media release from CAS references an inquiry at 1min and 4 secs.

Oh, ffs, seriously? And now let's discuss how far the judges are seated from the coaches and the rest of the minutiae. It came down to 4 frickin' seconds?

 

[rlayt]

Ugh. 4 seconds off.

 

[MaryClare]

Oh it is

AND I DONT EVEN LIKE ROMANIA. WHY AM I EVEN DEFENDING ROMANIA

 

[Memphisgym]

Hey don't get so upset, remember, fairness is relative

Fairness is relative and like I said before, no matter the decision there will be lots of folks who deem it unfair.

Now if you believe the openly racist comments that have dominated Romanian social media this week are fair, then that's a reflection of you.

 

[MaryClare]

Ugh. 4 seconds off.

Country mile for a 100m runner though

 

[QuietColours]

Ugh. 4 seconds off.

And well inside the limit for the other seven competitors, for extra drama

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

To be fair, I don’t think the federation has said anything racist. The general Romanian public, on the other hand, has been deplorable.

 

[makam]

Well, USAG is never gonna make that mistake again. Pre-filled out paperwork for every routine from every gymnast and a coach standing at the judges shoulders, ready to hand it over.

 

[onodian]

that have dominated Romanian social media

No, I believe you probably don't know "Romanian social media" and feel whatever you were fed by your algorithm is the truth. No biggie.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Country mile for a 100m runner though

Should have sent Noah Lyles to deliver the inquiry.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

No, I believe you probably don't know "Romanian social media" and feel whatever you were fed by your algorithm is the truth. No biggie.

It was legitimately terrible on social media. I couldn’t believe it.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

WCC is giving us what we like to call sour grapes.

I mean, even I'm over Simone not winning gold on floor now.
