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

[Doug1233]

Holy shit!!!

 

[Passion]

It is. The supporting foot is pivoting towards the line as she turns

When the choices are 2 Romanians and 1 American, whom I find especially annoying, you can guarantee I have no horse in this race.

The rest of you are all influenced by whom you want to win.

I want none of them to win.

No toes on the supporting foot touch the blue at any point during her pivot. You can zoom your phone in on the video I posted, hit pause, and drag the video slowly through to see. There is always white between her toes and the blue the entire turn around.

They simply cannot take the bronze away from Ana a second time.

They had no problem taking it from Jordan, I'm guessing they don't lose sleep over their rulings.

 

[MaryClare]

They haven’t awarded it to her yet. They have merely altered Jordan’s score which changes the placings. I’m sure she’s aware that it can be appealed

Flavia for Bronze! (yeah, I wanted flavia to make the finals, sue me)

Yeah, to argue that she did go oob in this particular line is trolling at this point, sorry. I guess the Gogean call you could argue, although nobody seems to, but this is as objective as we can get in this sport.

You cannot tell for sure from that angle, due to the depression in the carpet. You’d need a Birds Eye view to be sure

 

[onodian]

This is some quantum mechanics carpet shit going on here, apparently.

It’s not. I’m being serious. Unless you can show me a Birds Eye view. Because from that angle, you have to allow for the depression in the carpet.

But as I keep saying. Maybe if she’d inquired the ND, it would have been removed. But she didn’t. So we’ll never know

I actually am indifferent as well, as, although I am American, I don't generally cheer on athletes because they are American. (Clearly, I should never run for political office.) I just want the rules fixed so that this stuff doesn't happen again.

Err, it’s not a solid surface

 

[onodian]

I mean I'd argue you will never know. I certainly will

Sure. And maybe some things will change in the wake of this. But that’s not so relevant to what has happened

Like all cults, you believe your beliefs to be true. Despite science

 

[Aeris]

Voinea's toe definitely did not touch OOB, you can clearly see it raised up. That video is not the only angle either.

You cannot tell for sure from that angle, due to the depression in the carpet. You’d need a Birds Eye view to be sure

??? A bird's eye view would show nothing. You can't see from a top down view if something at ground level has brushed underneath.

 

[irichluck21]

Well one thing is for sure, the time to inquire needs to be formalized and consistent with all gymnasts. Make it an exact time after the score is flashed and then have an inquiry countdown.

 

[onodian]

Err, it’s not a solid surface

There is always white in between the blue and her foot. Is the FX carpet a non-Euclidean solid?

Do you have Birds Eye footage? It’s the only way to tell for sure

OMG.
