Those judges should be removed from never being able to judge again
-
Horrible. The judges should be punished! Not the girls.
-
The stupid judges ruined it for everyone. The Romanian should never have had it taken away in the first place. Totally humiliating for both athletes .
-
No wayyyy! This is so unprofessional and unfair. They messed up, not her!
-
This is so heartbreaking. The judges should be held accountable for their mistake.
-
They should give out two bronze medals. This was a mistake in judging, not a misstep on the part of Chiles.
-
To take a medal after it's been given is a show on ignorance.
-
Let me get this right. The judges make a mistake by not accurately accounting for the difficulty of her performance. Therefore, her coach has to appeal the judge's mistake. And now the judge's are saying that the coach appealed the judge's mistake 4 seconds too late! What a joke!
-
I'm a teacher and if there's a date and time deadline for an assignment and a student turns it in late, but I accept it KNOWING it's after the deadline, I can't return it for being a late AFTER I've already accepted it. They made an error TWICE and just need to own it. This is disgusting!!!
-
According to her performance and everything that has substance, she earned the bronze. There is no challenge to her final score. So they're just going with the wrong outcome because the technicalities are right. Both should get the bronze at this point. Just sickening and disrespectful to both athletes.
-
Whatever. She got her pictures with it and already did press with that medal. If they were going to ask for it back this late, then they should have just given another bronze to the other girl. This is 100% unprofessional and unacceptable. The judges and committee should be penalized for this situation.
-
Why is everyone dealing with the consequences of this except the JUDGES?!
-
Terribly unfair for Jordan and the Romanian gymnast. Shame on those judges for failing to do their job properly.
-
How does this happen! If it was late then they never should have given her the medal. That’s so upsetting! Prayers for her mental health 🙏🏽
-
Her appeal being 4 sec late is bull 💩 because she shouldn't have ever had to it appeal it in the first place. The JUDGES didn't give her credit for the split initially. F them!
-
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous Olympics ever
-
why didnt they just have them share bronze. So many judging mistakes and none of the girls did anything wrong. The appeal was FOUR seconds too late. Romania said they were good with a shared medal.
-
That is straight bs and unprofessional of them, they should've never counted the score if all they were going to do is take it back, or they should've gave them both the bronze medal instead of destroying someone heart and mental health
-
what an embarrassment. Shame on them.
-
4 seconds too late? That’s some top tier bureaucratic bs.
