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

[JaJa]

My mom and I went to Dairy Queen. While I'm not thrilled right now, I feel somewhat better, which will probably only last until an official decision is made about the bronze medal.

Ice cream heals most, if not all, wounds.

The argument is that jordan should be denied a bronze medal because the judges made a mistake and her coaches were 4 seconds late in submitting an appeal to correct the FIGs error.

Now THAT is an inequitable result.

If rules are rules, then they are so for everybody. The same documents that state that Sabrina explicitly had to ask to get her ND reviewed stated the alloted time.

Fair result, horrible procedure. But at least it's based on something, however anal it might be. I don't know that they could do anything better, tbh.

I can use a lot of things including logic, but thank you, and that's Dr. "You"

OMG. Using academic credentials as an attempted “gotcha” in a debate? Beyond embarrassing. I’m sorry, but it’s actually painful

I thought that was only the case in 90s sitcoms

No. It's been scientifically proven. It works.

I'm bathing in it as I type

I think that amount of sugar would kill me

I just had a cup of coffee and a pecan-honey bar with shortbread crust.

Only 2” square but very fulfilling.

Spoken like a true rhythmic gymnast

 

[rlayt]

if you have to be addicted to something sugar is one of the least harmful.

It’s 10pm and I gave our nanny the evening off. I make absolutely terrible decisions

I've got one in my fridge for tomorrow. Excellent cboice !!

Isn’t it the number 1 killer in America?

I remembered what Jenna Ortega, the actress, said about Romania while she was here filming for Wednesday(the Netflix show), it's relevant in the context of how racist and abusive some of you think that Romanians are. Jenna said that she was surprised to see that women walk alone at night in Romania. She is American. Why she would notice these sort of things?

I was asked to justify why I didn't think the U.S. should do a joint press conference with Romania. For doing so and explaining my opinion as requested, I've been called xenophobic and endured digs.

We could all stay on the topic, which is the medal and the follow up presentation, or you guys could continue with the personal attacks. I think the former would be best.

Fair enough. I don’t actually have an issue with you being xenophobic. I just get a kick out of tying western heads into knots

 

[Sanzhirovka]

I really think we should continue with the pecan-honey bar

Are you sponsored by Visit Bucharest or something?

What does a woman's safety in walking alone at night have to do with racism?
