Re: Jordan Chiles Individual Floor Routine Medal Controversy

USA Gymnastics says they have conclusive video evidence that the inquiry was submitted in time and not seconds too late.

  If the 4 second time issue is true then the judges should have disqualified the inquiry right then & there,on the spot. If they didn't, then they should be bared from disqualifying her now.

 

 Jordan Chiles should be allowed to keep her medal 🥇.

Why are people sending Jordan hate messages on Social Media?  She did nothing wrong either way.

I just read that also. It’s not over yet! What I don’t understand is why they made the decision with out all the evidence. This is just crazy!!!

Such a heartbreaking experience for both women!  

Ana Barbosu was on the podium when the first challenge was decided.  

This would be the first individual medal for each of them.

Give them each a bronze medal and even more importantly, an apology!

Re: Jordan Chiles Individual Floor Routine Medal Controversy

The Romanian gymnast has also been hatefully attacked on social media and has reached out to Jordan to commiserate,  acknowledging that the athletes are not to blame.

 

I agree now that the appropriate solution is to award two medals.

 

Ugly all around for every athlete involved.

Social media can be so sickening, anonymous losers with nothing better to do with their lives.
