Poor Ana. And poor Jordan. There are no real winners in this.

I assume the final results hadn't actually been tabulated before Ana jumped up on the podium and started celebrating. I could see why she assumed it was safe to do so, but hopefully this serves as a cautionary tale for other gymnasts down the road. I certainly hope Ana continues, especially seeing as how Jordan will probably not go back to elite.

Also, Jordan has great taste in candy. 🍬
 
I admittedly haven't experienced either, but the timeline for her post-pregnancy return seems even crazier than the timeline for her ACL recovery pre-London. Between the physical stress of giving birth and recovering from that, plus hormonal changes, sleep disruption, and overall life disruption, like - how?
Sleep disruption & life disruption can be minimised with family support, paid help.
I remember watching a short documentary with Mustafina (maybe fromOlympic Channel YouTube) and her daughter Alisa lived with Aliya’s parents during the week while Akita trained, then Aliya came home on weekends.

I thought the results were up, announcer in arena said Ana won bronze. Then Ana got up on podium. And that this is part of Romania’s argument - that USA enquiry was late? ( do we know if USA enquiry was on time)

Yeah, I thought I read that the final results had been posted in the arena before they took Jordan's inquiry. I could be wrong, however.

It's terrible that people are directing hateful comments at Jordan over this.

OK, then I'm not crazy. That's what I'd also thought but I figured that couldn't be right.

So much for "final results." They're, what, provisional final results?
