I’m fine with this. Ana gets a bronze, Jordan loses a bronze, BUT still leaves an Olympic champion. That floor bronze means far more to Ana and Romania than it does to Jordan.
I kinda agree, but I don't think they should take her medal away. I wish the masses would understand these medals are huge for the smaller countries. That was one of the things that upset me in the first place.

Ana is the rightful bronze medalist, but stripping Jordan’s medal is nothing short of cruel. You shouldn’t be projecting feelings onto both Jordan and Ana.
 
Unfortunately for her, it does mean that it goes away. She didn’t inquire within the rules of the competition, just as Jordan didn’t.
Right. If they're reinstating Jordan's 5th place standing and potentially stripping her of her bronze for not inquiring within the one-minute limit, then Sabrina's appeal of her ND also is to be rejected since it wasn't inquired within the limits. The ND might be incorrect, but that's not what Mama Voinea appealed at the time.
 
God, what a terrible situation. It's the right decision in the end, and almost everyone could have the final happy if they'd sorted things out in a timely manner. I feel really terrible for all the gymnasts involved. Ana missed her medal ceremony and went through an unnecessary week of grief. Jordan may lose her medal and has been dragged through the mud on social media. Voinea was let down by her coaches.
