"I lost the medal. I don't know where it is."
-
This Olympics is a freak show and a joke.
-
The judges should be removed for incompetence.
-
Why are the scores not 100% complete. Before they give out medals
-
It's funny how he says she didn't challenge her score like the majority of people have a clue what he means.
-
Should have just handed out three bronzes, one to Jordan and the other two for the Romanians for messing everything up with their scores, then fired all the judges and called it a day.
-
That's odd. If she didn't challenge in time then why did they give her the medal in the first place? That's really suspect.
-
This is wild. So they're not giving her credit for a skill that the JUDGES missed, because it wasn't done in time? Why didn't the judges know this?
-
This is the biggest $hit show of an Olympics ever
-
They post the score. The Romanian wins bronze. Jordan's coach protests late. They upgrade Jordan's score and give her the bronze. Now they take it back. Just give both of them the bronze.
-
Every other gymnast has 3 to 4 minutes to challenge a score but the last one to compete only has 1 minute to challenge. Her coach challenged but was 4 seconds late getting the challenge in. That is some BS. She should have the same 3 to 4 minute windows everyone else has.
-
Why not just give the other lady another medal because it’s the committee error, this is a disgrace to take back something when it was publicly given, just come up with a separate medal for that young lady please
-
A score is a score. She should not have to challenge anything. When they realized that they made a mistake they should correct it.
-
WTF!! There is some straight shenanigans going on in Paris!!!! FOH!
-
Saying she’s 4 seconds too late is insane work. It means that Jordan’s score was still the 3rd place winning score. But bc of 4 seconds she’s back to 5th place regardless that she’s the actual winner by her score.
-
That's cruel. You can't overturn and demand an awarded Olympic medal days after the event. The athlete celebrated with family, made social media posts and shared her gratitude and joy with the American people. You are going to strip that away because the judges sucked and made a technical error? It's the Olympics, if the athletes are expected to have flawless performance at the moment of competition to compete then the judges need to perform flawless judgement to be a part of the Olympics.

The Paris Olympics is fast becoming the worst ever. Athletes being fed horrible food and given subpar accommodations. Athletes getting sick from swimming or rowing in the river. Officials ripping Taiwan banners out of spectators hands. Allowing Russian athletes to compete after Russia was banned for state run doping programs. Bad judging at the surfing competition, now this. Just disgraceful.
-
Punishing an athlete due to a mistake by the judges not getting caught in time is morally wrong. This is a technicality that doesn’t negate the fact that her initial score was wrong. ZERO accountability for the scoring mistake.
-
Dang, makes me so sad seeing how happy she was to place 😢
-
Nah. This is foul, and they know it.
