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

[cftmoonlight79]

If Jordan's inquiry was late they should have done their job then and not accepted it. So many failures. My guess is many weren't actually aware of the specific rules about this stuff. So sad for all, and I have no idea what the right decision is.

The problem is that Jordan’s score can only be either 13.666 or 13.766. Ana and Sabrina’s scores can only be 13.7, with Ana ahead on tie break.

You cannot have an athlete on 13.666 with a medal and an athlete on 13.7 without.

Sure they can. It's an olympic medal, not a legally binding contract. They used to give out medals for architecture. It would just be one more leaf in the olympics crazy salad.

Wow. No. If you do that then the medals mean nothing.

They've already made this into a farce, I'm just saying to carry it to its logical conclusion.

No. Errors and mistakes do not mean you just abandon all rules. The outcome may result in people getting hurt and in FIG and the IOC looking bad. But the rules have to mean something and have to be followed or the sport ceases to have any legitimacy

MEDALS FOR EVERYONE

Funny how the FIG promised that the open ended code would fix the problem of the 2004 MAG AA and high bar controversy and the open ended code would eliminate ties.

LMAO.

MEDALS FOR EVERYONE

Ana got her bronze medal, Sabrina will get Nadia's bronze medal and Jordan will get nothing.

 

[wishfulgoddess]

Can we give Jordan something cool, like get her birthday registered as a national holiday or something? I feel so bad that she is the one losing the most and is also getting harassed on social media. She is such a kind person and deserves only lovely things. This sucks.

 

[MaryClare]

What IS it about sabrina voinea that has made so many Romanian gym legends act like complete fools? Does Mama Voinea have dirt on them all or something?

It is certainly very, very strange.

Mrs Connor and Mrs Harper, who’ve had nothing to do with Romanian gymnastics for decades. Where were they in 2000?

 

[MaryClare]

Ana got her bronze medal, Sabrina will get Nadia's bronze medal and Jordan will get nothing.

Lol. Someone else’s medal

 

[heythere]

Lol. Someone else’s medal

How many Olympic medals do you have from others? Nadia understands that Sabrina was the one who deserved the bronze medal and she's making a nice gesture for her. Also, she knows she will receive her medal back.

 

[onodian]

I mean, I understand what you mean and the situation currently, but Jordan will have a gold medal.

 

[Kara]

Lol. Someone else’s medal

I'd rather have nothing than someone else's pity medal.

 

[Livi]

Yeah I wouldn't want Nadia's medal. Would have absolutely no value at all for me. She wasn't even alive. Heck, Camelia was barely alive. Might as well give her a teddy bear

None because I’m not Ivan Kuliak
What sort of person accepts someone else’s medal

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

Hell, I'd take the medal - sell it on eBay (some idiot would pay big $$$ I'm sure) and go on a long holiday (anywhere but the south of FRA!)!

Hey, what’s wrong with the south of France?!

 

[Seyonne]

She can have Nastia’s floor bronze from 2008.

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

For her, maybe FRA would cause PTSD - If Cami already hasn't caused it!
