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

[Hatsumomo]

I mean, surely the Brazilians singing during Rebecca's medal ceremony must have made up for something. It was chilling on tv

I loved it. Same with the Algerians in attendance singing when Kaylia won her gold.

Justin said it was about the tour jete half. I think. Not sure. Only half listening at that point.

They showed it in slow-mo during the broadcast and it looked clearly around.

 

[jezmerallia]

I know everyone here hates her but no way did Voinea and Chiles deserve the same E score on floor. Chiles routine was a mess, by far the worst she's done all Olympics; Voinea's was far cleaner. With a fair E score Chiles should have been behind both Romanians regardless of D score.

Do we hate her? To me she comes across as having an inflated sense of self but that's kind of typical at her age. What dislike is the way she seems to be favored over her peers. Her floor routine was beautiful today, but so was her teammate's.

 

[MaryClare]

well yes but have you ever watched a gymnastics competition with a dancer? they cry on the inside with every leap

ETA: and sometimes on the outside

I sent a clip of that leap from Jordan to one of the technical leads for Russian RG to ask her opinion. She had no idea what was even being attempted

Does she? To me it seems to come totally from her mother and not Sabrina herself. She seems liked by her team mates

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It's the adults around Sabrina who are the problem.

Oh that was awesome. The Brazilian fans have been great at each arena I’ve been to but their celebrations for floor gold were extra fantastic.

Chiles E Score7.866
Voinea E Score7.900
I do feel for Voinea. I guess it is hard when the inquiry is with the last gymnast.

Barbosu E 8.00. I standby my statement that she out performed both of them.

Did she go out of bounds and I just don't remember. Because if you add back the 0.1 ND, she would have won.

 

[Mthegymqueen]

It feels so unnatural and breaks the routine

Yes!
I think they should make it connected without all of the steps to be able to get the 0.5 for the D-score

I feel like the angle the showed in the broadcast looked fully around but this one definitely doesn't.

 

[jezmerallia]

Definitely don't agree with this. She should have known not to start celebrating until after the inquiry. The final result was shocking but inquires are a well known part of the sport. Her teammate literally just did the same thing.

It was heartbreaking to watch but it's unfair to state that anyone was playing with her emotional state.

 

[JaJa]

I just don’t see what they are there to prove? What is their function? No one is doing dance elements that are of genuine difficulty. The AG code is skewed

This is a REAL issue imo.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Agreed because otherwise that's saying the last gymnast to go up doesn't get their fair shake at an inquiry

 

[jezmerallia]

Wouldn't someone with actual dance technique be deducted in gymnastics. I feel like the way the leap requirements are judged is as much a problem as the leaps themselves.

What I mean, that I probably have not conveyed very well is that a genuinely D level dance element is not what we see being competed but would more be along the lines of what a free routine looks like in junior RG. I can do nearly every D rated dance element in the COP, they are not of equal difficulty to double pikes or double twisting fronts!!

Ou Yushan got that memo lol

 

[Kittentoes]

I feel like in my Olympics, whoever did a dang back split leap and had full body engagement would get FX gold. Wolf turns would get chalk thrown at you.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Like I just need a well done switch leap right into another leap or jump to be happy. I loved Raducan's switch leap-switch full-split jump in 2000. Also her wolf 1 1/2-Shushunova. The double stag right on the beat, too.

but clearly they are for the AGs because almost none of them do them well but most of them can do a double pike with reasonable proficiency. And if I see another dumpy switch half on beam...

I’d like to see shusunovas making a come back
