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

[MaryClare]

Nobody cares. Seriously. End this, FIG #downwithtourjete

My life would be so much better if I never had to reach these to WAG ever again

 

[J175]

But the inquiry wasn’t about the gogean. It was about the tour jete half. Or is that the same thing?

It was on the split full no? They gave it as a C when it’s a D

This is all talking about the same thing. The Gogean is a tour jete full. Chiles only has one turning split leap in her routine.

 

[onodian]

But this surely can't be it? There is no way in hell this is rotated?

 

[MaryClare]

Ok, well that’s me, and my boss who has no idea what actually she is trying to do here.

 

[Peridot]

I'm glad we get to see Kishi's routine one more time.

And my borderline Gen X ass hears Kishi and thinks Claudia from The Babysitters Club

That was my exact same thought!!

 

[dweiss324]

I would do away with turns, leaps, and out of bounds. It's all so unnecessary. Keep the dance and focus on artistry. Maybe have a turn / leap requirement. But the difficulty assigned to them and downgrading is so asinine. A square is literally the stupidest shape for a floor. Maybe it worked when it was cartwheels and double fulls, but seriously.

 

[Seyonne]

How are these things judged anyway? Is the rotation measured from the direction the feet are pointed to the direction upon landing? Do gymnasts sometimes pre rotate the way skaters do?

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I just cannot believe after all the complaining about Chiles’ dance elements over the last several years and saying it was going to bite her in the ass, her fucking Gogean is what gets her a medal.

They shouldn’t pre rotate but they do. There is no specific deduction for it

 

[rlayt]

Has it beeen consistently deducted at her other competitions? If so then not deducted today blame the judges.

 

[Passion]

Nadia's mad.

 

[Hatsumomo]

That's not what protecting athlete's mental health means, but go off I guess.

 

[makam]

And they had the chance to rejudge it and went with it being good on second look.

 

[Seyonne]

Is this a case of if it’s within so many degrees, it’s considered complete? I’m just trying to figure out how they came to their conclusion. Do they watch it in slo-mo? Frame by frame? Or just go with general vibes?

 

[J175]

Reading on Reddit that there was some argument over Lieke Wevers getting a 0.3 OOB in qualifying rather than a 0.1, which ultimately knocked her out of the AA final. I really want to see the photo for Voinea now.

 

[Sasha]

For me it's the turns. Painful. I know the material the floor is made of is difficult to turn on but I'm begging them to keep their shoulders down.

oh my god THE SHOULDERS!

 

[irichluck21]

Barbosu celebrate pre-maturely before the final results were in. Not sure how that is an issue with mental health, Nadia?

 

[Peridot]

If somebody threw in some (properly done) Irish dance, I would love them forever. Imagine that footwork in the corner since the gymnast can't stand still for a second.

I did this when I was younger!

 

[JusticeMom]

How else can they do it though? The final competitor is entitled to an inquiry

Yep. Reminds me of Raisman/Ponor on beam in 2012. Romania vs USA, last competitor, bronze medal at stake, and inquiry by USA athlete that was accepted.

 

[RichardL]

seriously, why were her coaches letting her get out the flag and start prancing around? such a miss on behalf of the adults around her.
