USOPC to appeal Jordan Chiles decision after IOC says bronze medal must be returned

Those judges should be stripped of their positions. This is horrible.

If it was late, why accept it in the first place. That wasn’t her fault and it’s not fair. Let her keep HER medal!!!!

What happens if Jordon Chiles fights the IOC and refuses to return the bronze medal? After all, Jordan Chiles cannot be forced to do something against her own free will. I would file a lawsuit against the IOC and take the IOC to court and have the courts decide what to happen.

US coach to judges: “I’d like to appeal the score” Judges: “What?” US coach: “I said I want to appeal” Judges: “Okay…hold on.” (A few moments later) US coach: “Uhh…did you hear what I said?” Judges: “Yes.” US Coach: “….” Judges: “So what are you appealing?” US coach: “We’re appealing her Difficulty score. We think you missed something.” Judge: “What did we miss?” US Coach: “That one twist towards the end.” Judge: “Are you sure you want to do this?” US coach: “YES” Judge: “okay hold on.” Judge: “Alright we got it. Thanks.” ***5 DAYS LATER: Court determines US request came 4 seconds late.

4 F’n seconds?!! Are you serious right now, the judges should never host another competion in or outside of the Olympics

F THE IOC. WHAT A DISGRACE

If Jordan Chiles had done something wrong, I would agree that she should return her medal. She earned the higher score, however. The judges agreed that she earned the higher score. So now, the one who performed the more difficult routine loses. How is that fair. I agree with the Romanians that three bronze medals should be given in this situation. Even they didn’t want Chiles to have to return her medal.

Both the us and Romania were in agreement for both gymnast to get the medals the ioc is wrong here.

Just give them both bronze. This is ridiculous.

Are they sure it was 4 seconds? Can someone certify when the last clock calibration was?

If I were Jordan or USA gymnastics, I would sue IOC and judges for all this drama and mental turmoil!

Both share the Bronze. That's probably the best compromise to resolve this fast.

Major thing missed is that the inquiry was rejected because it was 4 SECONDS LATE. That's ridiculous. On top of that, the last person in the event only has 1 minute to submit an inquiry. Everyone else gets 4 minutes. That makes no sense.

If Ana wants that bronze medal so bad she needs to pull up where Jordan is and pry it away from her. No ceremony needed.

Congratulations, Ms. Chiles! You are an Olympian and a hero to many people across the world. Your legacy will not be tarnished over one medal. I hope you make it back, and next time you stand atop the podium as the champion gold medalist. 🎉

The judges got the scoring wrong, then an appeal was submitted, then they changed the score, and now they want to change the score back because the appeal was not submitted in time. This is not the fault of any of the gymnasts. Those judges are clown shoes.

Judges wanted an all Blk podium and that’s why they did this nonsense in the first place.

The IOC SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. 4 seconds? Bunch of idiots making bad decisions

I would have not gave that medal back. That's the judges fault. Move on.

They should just give Bronze medals to Jordan, Ana, and Sabrina... and call it a day.
