Those judges should be removed from never being able to judge again
I 100 PERCENT agree!!!
Disgusting and embarrassing. Shameful
@@analili6955 Again
One wonders if you were born this stupid, or if you work at it.
While I agree about the judges, Romania said that it should be 3 Bronzes. The Original Romanian Bronze Medalist Ana Bărbosu who should've been 5th, Jordan Chiles who should've been 4th, and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea who should've been 3rd (Bronze).
It is the IOC which is grandstanding.
This is so heartbreaking. The judges should be held accountable for their mistake.
I just uploaded some unseen footage of the UK RIOTS.
that Romania chick probably was so shocked to get a call that she won bronze
Judges make mistakes. That’s why there’s an appeal process. But at the end of the day, you have to go by the rules that everyone is supposed to play by. If they were late, they were late. That the US team is continuing to appeal is vile and hurting both girls. Just let the Romanian girl have it instead of dragging it out.
@@Kiara.step-daughterit was actually the other Rumanian that had a higher score but keeping in mind judges fucked everything up they show give medals to the three of them
Chiles was on 5th place,. not even 4th place and romanians had 3rd and 4th place. The fair ruling had Chiles on 5th, either way with the upper score or lower, USA tried to steal the honest history and they should be punished for their looting abilitites, that's what they are good at, only stealing. The only reason Chiles was on bronze was that Romanians were treated with injustice 2 times in a row. Chiles is only good for stealing, even with upper score she would be at most on 4th, the cameras proved that, the real bronze winner was the romanian girl on 4th, not the one on 3rd.
Why is everyone dealing with the consequences of this except the JUDGES?!
🎯
Agreed…they’re protecting their own from suffering the consequences and letting the athletes take the fall for everything. It’s disgusting.
We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. Just because it's not shared with us doesn't mean that there isn't some accountability or punishment happening. Maybe it'll affect their ability to judge future events.
@@Darkswordz then they should at least release a statement saying that they are looking at the situation and taking any actions appropriate related to judging accuracy
What do you want to do with the judges? Gitmo?
They should give out two bronze medals. This was a mistake in judging, not a misstep on the part of Chiles.
Three. Tell me you know nothing about the situation
@junglesuperstar9270 they obviously don't. Just here to complain and feel smart
Typically when it comes to that, I believe they ask the third place winner, if they would like to share the Bronze medal. I wonder if the olympic committee asked the Romanian athlete whether she wanted to share and she said no. Obviously just speculation, but I remember a similar thing happening in the last olympic games with men's high jump. I wonder if it works the same way.
@@dawidmalan8727it doesn’t. The high jumpers both hit the same height and *asked* if they could share the medal.
@@dawidmalan8727I think people are saying the athletes said they wouldn’t mind sharing the bronze
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!!!
Do you give all the students one deadline and one student a different deadline? Gymnasts and their coaches get 4 minutes to submit an inquiry, unless you go last, then you only get one minute.
😂😂😂😂 I am sure with your reasoning quite a few medals will be returned . I remember quite many cases when appeals were not accepted because of time limit . It will be fun
@@SamBryans128 They all get the same deadline unless it's a student with an IEP or 504 plan (extra time). Once the judges accepted the inquiry after the deadline, that was their mistake to own.
@@SamBryans128 I do understand what you’re saying, however, an error in judgment was made by the judges, and not the athletes. Regardless of the scoring error and reporting, the judges made the decision to award the metal to the US gymnast over the Romania gymnast. In fairness, which I believe in this situation is deserving - - both gymnasts should could have been awarded the bronze medal. It’s not like it would have set a precedent, because it’s been done before.
@@BDS356 I don't think both of them should get a medal as compensation. I do think they should sue and get monetarily compensated though. I also think the judges should've just gotten it right to begin with (which would be neither of them getting the medal and it going to Sabrina whose score was also botched).
No wayyyy! This is so unprofessional and unfair. They messed up, not her!
the US is good for whining here and there... and still olympics are rigged big time for them...
So what? She got a medal through US pressure.
@@cooltwittertag I figured someone would say that during the Olympics, and I remember they did say that when the Ham twins were in it. Just because it's the US doesn't mean pressure happened. USA isn't Russia.
Life isn’t fair. We live in a simulated world.
@@cooltwittertagShe got a medal through her coach submitting an inquiry which is insanely commonplace practice. what isn’t commonplace is stripping medals after zero foul play or athlete’s fault instead of simply awarding two bronze as was desired by both Romania and the US. It is so problematic to buck the existing precedent in the way they have and this will just lead to more lose-lose scenarios and harmed athletes in the future.
Horrible. The judges should be punished! Not the girls.
They will be - probably suspended by IGF - but this would not help much the gymnasts who were wronged.
@@alnchi3228This is completely incorrect.
@@lepi4san This will affect both girls mentally forever. They both see how quickly and carelessly they can be stripped of their medals.
You got it backwards. The judges deducted points from a woman who did not step out of bounds so she would not be on the medal platform. The appeal won because it is HD video and obvious. It was a shameful political stunt. You don't punish the athlete who wrongly and intentionally had points taken away. Repent.
That's true! The judges have only one job, to judge, and they didn't do their job right. Millions of people are watching this with shame, hurt and anger.
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!
Right 🤦🏻♀️
There was another Romanian girl who was in 4th place (ahead of Jordan) that had 0.1 deduction for stepping out when she didn’t so she was supposed to win instead
Came for this comment. Exactly 💯.
@@joyfadele3104 shut uhp
The judges must be related to the officials in tennis taking away points from the William sisters then admitting their mistake.
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous Olympics ever
oh get over it! This stuff happens at every olympics
It was one of the best olympics ever actually...
@@moonchart Change is coming
@@jidao882 It was a stinky hotness that smelled like French cheese.
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 .
The judge was an italian pensioneer :)) Not jocking !
Corruption. Romanian judges force American athlete to give medal to a Romanian athlete.
Actually, the Romanian who SHOULD have won is Sabrina Maneca-Voinea. She received a score of 13.700 after an erroneous tenth of a point deduction for allegedly going out of bounds. Video reviews clearly show that Sabrina's foot NEVER went out of bounds, but the gymnastics officials rejected the Romanian coach's inquiry. Give that tenth of a point back to Sabrina and she would have won the bronze outright with a score of 13.800, over both Ana and Jordan. She was wronged just as much in this fiasco.
@@mysticalmargaret6105 Right. That's the girl I feel most sorry for. IMO, she did the best routine. She had the second highest difficulty behind Simone and nailed it.
Hate the Romanian performances. I prefer Rebeca’s. Romanians look like they are performing for a funeral.
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.
All those judges should have their birthdays taken away.
Romania suggested that. Not to take Chile's medal but to also give medal to the Romanian gymnasts.
@@bowtoyDon't act like you haven't done anything bad in your life, probably worse things than this, which you might have no idea of.
But why would they get medals if their score was less than Jordan's? Sounds like a participation award. @@djuarakurniawan4738
@@RayJ466 This is what happens when you fail to abide by your own rules and put politics above everything else. Now, the world will always be skeptical on the awarding of that medal. It's shameful!
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 🙏🏽
The Americans tried to steal the bronze medal. American privilege card declined.
But it was also unfair. Because every other contestant had three to four minutes to appeal but because she went last, she only had that one minute appeal window
its the sorriest excuse to say they done F up without saying they done F up. Jordan should have been awarded those extra points, but also the Romanian gymnast did not step out of bounds and have her points deducted.
@@Htx.lunaticThe last gymnast has the huge advantage to know all the scores hence why she doesn’t need 4 minutes to calculate all possible scenarios on whether it’s in her favor to appeal or not. 10 seconds are more than enough, she gets a whole minute.
@@leykimayri What a dumb comment. So the 2nd to last person should only get 3 minutes. And the 3rd to last, 2 minutes. STFU
Terribly unfair for Jordan and the Romanian gymnast. Shame on those judges for failing to do their job properly.
Ana Barbosu * she has a name.
@@frida_m4426 and Sabrina Voinea (the other one tied for 3rd)
Jordan is a class act. She never put anyone down even when she and her coach initially believed she was underscored. Her team simply followed the process and challenged her score through the proper process. Unlike the Romanian gymnast and her mother, Jordan never commented negatively or said her performance was better than anyone else’s. Look at the Grace she and Simone showed Rebecca when she won. Nobody can take that away from Jordan. Let them have the medal back. Her talent, her grace, her sense of sportsmanship, and her humility make her a winner no matter what.
@@luxurylifela2068 The current bronze medalist, Ana Barbosu, never made any comments about Jordan. It was the other one, Sabrina Voinea and her mom, who did. Overall, this is a horrible situation for both Jordan and Ana.
Chile has a higher score than Romani girl . Romania is fake winner
To take a medal after it's been given is a show on ignorance.
And yet it took two years for the USA figure skaters to get their medals over a scandal. An inquiry is allowed but it’s costly at $351. No way should that have been denied days later when it should have been denied initially. The Romanians cried foul and tried to have it appealed when they violated the policy as well
Nothing was done against Aly Raisman in 2012 against an Romanian gymnasts

It is righting a wrong, a correction.
@@JescaML lolol countries & federations spend millions sending their athletes to the Olympics. They can afford the $351, I promise😆
@@sspencer897 yet idiots can’t seem to understand that. They didn’t score Jordan correctly then when an inquiry was made Romanians got upset and started threatening. None of this was seen when Aly Raisman had an inquiry in 2012. Then go and deny it days later claiming it was 4 seconds late when it should have been denied initially is called having common sense that something is not right here. They also didn’t get the gymnast mothers or the pm involved in the 2012. It’s because Jordan is black and they are showing their racist attitude.
4 seconds too late? That’s some top tier bureaucratic bs.

@@nobodyjustme9164why are you blaming & accusing both the USA & Chiles for “stealing” & “looting” when it’s the judges’ fault in their scoring?? They missed her one move which is why she initially scored lower & placed fifth.
USA appealed (any country can appeal; it’s not illegal) because of that which is when she was given the higher score & got bronze.
If it was past the time limit then the judges should have called it THEN. Not days later.
So now the judges messed up TWICE. And if the Romanian girl who placed 4th should have scored higher initially, then again, that’s on the judges.
I’ve not seen one pro-USA fan blame Romania or accuse them or the gymnast of stealing. if anything, they felt bad for her.
So I have no idea why you’re on here accusing & blaming USA, & especially Chiles personally, for theft other than you are demonstrating very poor sportsmanship. That’s seriously messed up.
@@Allaiya. It is easy to say poor sportmanship when thr entire life of the girl in 4th was stolwn, her entire life, her hopes and dreams, she will not be able to ever come back, she had a mental breakdown and her life is wasted...easy for you to say poor sportmanship when your girl chiles, even without the bronze medal will have a decent life and a roof over her head...our 4th girl is finished for life, we romanians know better than you her situation, you girl chilea will have a house and drive ezpensive vars like volksvagen or audi,.our girl will never have a chance at owning her apartment or drive a fiat... her only chance at a future was this medal.
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.
The Romanians said they were ok with sharing the medal. Just give to both of them.
@@pamelabillings4293
thee😂😂😂😂
@@pamelabillings4293of course they’re okay with sharing a medal. They didn’t have the points to win it to begin with so it’s not theirs!
There are rules and arbitration committees for a reason. And right thing happened in the end. Romania has the bronze medal.
Like many sports, including baseball, soccer, football, basketball, and even in fencing, the rules have a mechanism for questioning the judges/referee’s decisions.
Decisions made by hugged during a play or a performance can be reviewed by the request of a coach AS LONG AS the coach submits their request for a review within the time allowed to do so.
The US team should have made their inquiry in the right amount of time according to the rules.
They did this properly at other times before. So they know the rules. They just didn’t do it right this time.
Anyway, there is plenty of blame for the judges but there is also plenty of blame for the U.S. gymnastics coaches as well.
@@Cloudyconfusionactually what they fail to mention in the news coverage is that the rightful owner of the bronze medal is another Romanian athlete, Voinea, who got 13.700 after being unfairly penalized by judges for stepping outside the boundary. The Romanian delegation contested the penalty on the spot but they were dismissed due to untimely presentation. However, Chiles contestation was originally accepted even though it was untimely as well. The Romanian team and prime minister were scandalized by what happened to Voinea, not Barbosu, and they appealed on the grounds that the penalty in case of Voinea was flawed. It seems that the result of the appeal backfired for both Chiles and Voinea, and favored Barbosu instead. It is sad for all three participants, I am sure none will be super happy with this result. These girls work for most of their lives for this and they don’t get too many chances to win…
If it were four seconds too late, then they never should have awarded Jordan the bronze to begin with. It is beyond cruel to at first have her think she lost, but then give her the medal, only to take it away days later. They should not be allowed to do this because it was their fault. I can’t imagine how she must feel and that is completely disgusting. Four years is a long time to wait to try again for a medal. That’s the heartbreak when someone loses in the Olympics because we all age.
Agree. It was also very cruel to have Barbosu think she got bronze in the front of the world, then gave the bronze to Jordan.
It was cruel to BARBOSU to unfairly take her medal away from her in front of the entire world. She didn’t get to see her flag on the podium, and the entire world saw her face as she realized it was being taken away from her.
The medal is going to its rightful owner. Shame on the US coach for pulling that BS, and on the judges for bending over.
@@Claudia_Arraia Agree to disagree. I feel for both girls-not just Jordan.
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!
The point is that you appeal immediately after you receive your score. You can't wait until other scores come in and then ask for a review. The protest has to be in before the winner is announced. Those have been the rules for 15 years. There was a worldchampionship where the US lodged protests on 4 occasions and each time, right before the announcement of the winner. 3 of the protests were accepted. Other gymnasts started complaining that protesting a score is not a tool to snatch a win. You dont file a protest unless you are sure a skill you did wasn't counted. And if you do; do it right away. Don't wait until you realise you might not medal. It's really unfair on Jordan and the bronze medalist.
@@roddo1955she went last. So that’s what made it all a mess. The winners were already known before the appeal. Her coaches didn’t wait because they wanted to see if Chiles didn’t medal, they knew she was in 5th in the final standings
@@roddo1955 yeah that's not what happened. Jordan competed last. All the scores were in. It's not like they just waited to see how everyone else did. All the other scores were posted already. They filed as soon as Jordan's score came in.
To hell with all these Romanians bullying Jordan online! That is the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen. Bunch of cry babies!!! Her technique and execution was still the BEST and WON! You’re only getting a medal now because of a 4 sec technicality that Jordan’s coaches shouldn’t have even had to question the judges error. How small and petty are they for going after Jordan like this! I’d rather earn it because of my performance not because I was being a victim. So sad! 😢 Praying for Jordan’s mental health and working through this devastating loss and the hijacking of her well deserved bronze medal!
The bullying from the Romanians is disgusting but i wouldn't go that far haha
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.
Not to mention it was only because she was last. Everyone has 4 minutes to submit an inquiry... unless you go last then you only get 1 minute.
Because it wasn’t just the judges’s fault and not just the superior jury’s fault but also the coaches were at fault. Voinea’s coach should have appealed twice, one for the D-score (she did, got rejected) and one for the neutral deduction (she didn’t, so Sabrina’s score couldn’t be raised for the unfair deduction she received). And Jordan’s coach were too busy talking to each other instead of doing their jobs and protecting Jordan’s rights by immediately appealing, instead they wasted 45 precious seconds and they appealed too late.
The medal should have been Sabrina’s. Since mistakes were done basically by everyone involved and procedures were not followed, they decided to give the medal to the girl whose score was correct and nobody messed up her score, Ana.
@@SamBryans128this rule sucks and is very unfair.
@@SamBryans128that rule definitely needs to change because that doesn’t make sense
@@leykimayriit was the judges’ fault for accepting Jordan’s inquiry in the first place if it was truly past the time deadline. That’s the main problem! If her inquiry was invalid because it was 4 seconds too late then they never should have accepted it and awarded her the bronze. But they did! If being late wasn’t an issue on the day of then it shouldn’t magically be an issue now. Due to their mistake they gave her the bronze medal and she should not have to give it back because of THEIR mistake.
what an embarrassment. Shame on them.
Disgraceful handling of an already bungled situation.
If I'm not mistaken, the judges messed this up twice. They misjudged Barbosu by wrongfully giving her a penalty for stepping out of bounds, which her coaches could have, but did not, argue for her. They then misjudged Chiles by scoring her difficulty too low. Now they want to correct the time limit for that correction. Am I wrong in thinking that if the judges corrected both of their original mistakes both gymnasts would have tied? Either way, it's such a mess! Shameful.
They screwed 3 gymnasts. The wrongful OOB penalty is for Sabrina, there's no evidence she left the mat for the 0.1 deduction. Then Ana celebrated because, according to her, they put the scoreboard already up with her in 3rd place, then they changed it a few seconds later when Jordan's inquiry got through. So yea, the clowns toyed and humiliated 3 athletes. I think Romania wanted all 3 to share the medal, then after the decision today only Jordan and Ana to share the bronze and the US agreed too, but the FIG said no
They messed up twice, but it was not Barbosu that was wrongfully got a penalty. It was Maneca-Voinea who got 0.1 point penalty. If the judge didn't make mistake, the actual bronze would be Maneca-Voinea. Chiles would be the 4th and Barbosu at 5th place. Maneca-Voinea would get 13800 (corrected), Chiles got 13766 (corrected) and Barbosu 13700.

Yeah, that's such a shame.
EXACTLY!
The romanian gymnast had a better score originally, and deserves the bronze medal. IOC Made the right decision.
Ana, Jordan & Sabrina worked so hard to qualify for the games and the incompetent judges humiliated and stomped on each of them. If Team USA was 4 seconds too late why didn't they say that THEN instead of awarding Jordan?
Since the judges made the error, the Olympic Committee should award both girls the bronze.
What is this? First grade? Everyone gets a medal? SHE LOST!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!
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
How unprofessional it is fir an athlete to gloat they wet they did in the podium when she knew very well that the medal was undeserved and stolen. Over the top American entitlement that nobody likes.

what's the point of the medal now? that's not a bronze medal, that's a mistake. romania can't even have their moment on the olympic stage, the damage is already done. what a joke of extreme incompetence. 4 seconds? How about they CREDIT HER SKILLS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Romanian girl should go up to CHILES and hold up 4 fingers! HAHA!!!!! You missed by 4 seconds! No medal for you!!!!! HORRAY FOR ROMANIA!!!!!!
4 seconds too late?? Since when did the IOC count that? You can appeal the decision within 10 minutes of the score, not 15 seconds. This is besides the judges being wrong by not doing their job.
Exactly this is just unbelievable, they’re bowing to pressure that they’ve played favourites to the USA, which even if they did - it’s ALREADY DONE. At that point it’s not about countries it’s about the young women’s lives and reputations. Forever being labeled as someone who “forfeited” their medal….. that’s harsh.

I gasped when watching Sabrina’s routine live on TV during the floor final because I thought her toe grazed the out of bounds area. Right before her second tumbling pass, she swung her left foot over the floor as part of her choreo, and her left foot came extremely close to the out of bounds. However, watching it back on replay, it really doesn’t look like her foot ended up going out of bounds. Sabrina’s score should’ve 100% been AT LEAST a 13.800, I thought she was even underscored for her execution as she showed very clean landings, good height and form on her leaps, and showed good artistry as well. Here is the link to her floor routine: czcams.com/video/w0SfIJ0eM_I/video.htmlsi=QAJpV9NErIJDPFPy
At 34 seconds into the video is where her foot came very close to going out of bounds, but never touched the floor. Does FIG or the IOC have a statement about Sabrina’s OOB deduction? This is very interesting. At this point, they should award all three girls with the bronze medal (Sabrina, Ana, and Jordan) for these horrendous judging errors!
That’s totally ridiculous, because the judges should be held accountable for their actions. Boycotting is the best method, they did some of the other athletes wrong. They don’t deserve this, they should never participate in Paris ever again

This is probably the real reason they want to snatch it back.
@@Chambermenz That's the only reason she was given the medal in the first place. She was only 5th place worth, so fk off!
I'm for fairplay.
The times when grace and aesthetics left the gymnastics 🤦 Bodies built for weight lifting and boxing, but not for anything elegant.
Jordan Chiles didn’t try hard enough to win bronze. The Romanian won the bronze so it would still be three woman on stage, only one of them being beautiful.
This is unfair she should be able to keep her metal
No, the judges stole it from Ana to give to Chiles.
That was what was discussed between the Romanian and US lawyers...however the judges decided otherwise.
No Terry Kumpf, justice was done today to give the bronze to its rightful owner.
At the end of the day, the score that won her the bronze was the score she should’ve gotten in the first place. They’re not denying that she earned the winning score, but it seems like she’s being punished for the fact that the judges didn’t do their job properly from the beginning. I hope the U.S. somehow appeals this decision because this is ridiculous
4 seconds??, and Romania gets a whole week? Those judges should be banned by committee
Romania didn't get a whole week. They had a problem with changing the scoreboard showing Barbosu on 3rd place. The judges should've refrained from displaying it before the inquiry period was over. The other gymnast (Voinea) was wrongfuly deducted 0.1 points for an error she did not commit, and an appeal was made, but the judges decided to reject her inquiry. Had they accepted it, she could have finished in 3rd place with 13.800, ahead of Chiles' new score (13.766) and Barbosu (13.700). There was no explanation given and I still don't understand why the court maintained this decision. If they claim Voinea's inquiry came too late, then so and Chiles', in which case the new decision is correct. However, regardless of technicalities, they did all 3 gymnasts wrong and the common sense solution was to give all of them the bronze medal, which Romania requested. However, the court decided to fudge up even more and, as I said, even the new decision seem correct, it's far away from being the best one. And I agree with you: those judges should be permanently banned from any competition and the rules have to change to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
such a horrible situation, i hope jordan's doing okay and surrounding herself with her loved ones
Careless mistake they both should get bronze. Why take it from her so unfair and cruel? Judges fault so stupid.
And Steven van de Velde??? What about him they let that nasty man compete knowing what he did but yet the want to come for Jordan’s medal. Get out of here like seriously.
That’s not fair ! The judges were wrong ! By points systems Jordan truly won!!
Actually if the judges didn't make mistake at all, Sabrina would win the bronze.
@@djuarakurniawan4738 how so
A petition needs be started to let her keep it. Disgusting judges!
I wanted Jordan to get this medal but the Romanian protesting and question the judging was the right thing to do.
Exactly! The U.S. coaches would have done the exact same thing were the roles reversed. No doubt.
@@kevinweaver4981exactly. the USA I handling this terribly. Like everybody most follow rules except them.
I think what makes it so messed up is bc the judges messed up multiple times between the two/three ladies scores and then wait 3/4 days "correcting" what should have been determined that same day. They've lost credibility
@@kevinweaver4981I don’t blame the Romanians or the US for standing up to defend their athletes as they see fit. it’s the governing bodies that have disregarded existing precedent on similar administrative error/non-foul play disputes outside of athletes control in favor of turning this into an even bigger nightmare for all gymnasts involved. both Romania and the US were in favor of sharing the bronze.
Welp...Another twist! USA Gymnastics has submitted time-stamped video evidence from the arena that the inquiry was made twice...once at 47 seconds and the other at 55 seconds. TBC 😮
What’s pissing me off is how she only got 1 minute to appeal while everyone else got 3 mins. That’s literally insane!!!! Why is no one saying anything about this! Also people saying Chiles didn’t deserve the bronze, but her start value was lowered by a tenth. Ana won the bronze because the judges messed up Jordan’s score, she should’ve never been fifth to begin with if they just did it right! This is all on these judges, you CANNOT make mistakes in a sport like this! These athletes work too hard for this bs to happen!
Guys, there was 3 athletes (Ana, Barbosu, Sabrina Voinea, Jordan Chiles) and not just 2.
This is so sad. I feel for Jordan and the other two Romanian gymnast. This is all the judges, however the hate is even worse. People are so cruel and mean. The Romanians have forgotten that they used to rule gymnastics as well as Russia. I remember a time when there would be 3 Romanians on the podium. How easy it is to forget that they once were in the top spot. USA has been great for many years but so were other countries in the past. So sad people have to blame this on USA favoritism. All girls from all countries work hard!
100%
Agree, but remember, it happened to the Romanians before (Moscow Olympics, 1980, gymnastics). Nadia was supposed to win, but the Soviets decided otherwise. They did not forget that episode and what just happened brought back memories. My Romanian friend actually shown me the video of that event.
Here they go again!!
Americans tried to steal the bronze medal. Enough with American privilege.
So the Judges drop the ball, but humiliating the athlete is their decision?
absolutely disgusting by the judges and especially the IOC! Jordan rightfully earned her medal because had the judges scored properly the first time, Jordan would've earned the medal. the games should be a venue focused on celebrating the BEST gymnasts, not a place where athletes have to worry about whether or not the judges have done their job correctly. to be stripped of a medal unrightfully over a 4 second delay is infuriating and the IOC should be held accountable for their appalling actions. give both girls the medals, even though Jordan performed a better score and earned the bronze more so than even barbosu
Boycott the Olympics. Everything that has come out of this has been outrageous and disappointing.
A bit hyperbolic don't ya think?
Exactly! Boycott the next Summer Olympics, they are only in... 4 years. Uhm, chief, you haven't thought for more than a minute, have you?
A lot of people boycotted this Olympics because of drag queens performing at the opening ceremony.
@@ajward9112 starting with the opening ceremony
@@dripfoe_3307 which part do your feelings feel were hyperbolic? 😂🤡
What a disastrous series of events for the two athletes involved. Shameful!
To be fair, it's a good decision. I felt straight away the Romanian girl was robbed, and when I went online, I saw many people writing the same thing.
Ana Barbosu deserves that medal. I'm sorry for Jordan Chiles, having the dream dangled in front of her and then taken away, but justice must be accomplished.
This is a monstrous taint in gymnastics history. Shame on the judges and the trauma both ladies are experiencing
Horrible! Literally this olympics is like a soap opera... Lost bronze by 4 sec, disqualified by 100 gm.. The real bronze medalist should have been Sabrina Vinea in this category !
How could anyone trust the judges at the Olympics? Athlete's are expected to get it right the first time, but not the judges? This takes all my love and appreciation, for the games away. For both Winter and Summer. If athletes can't trust that the judges know what their doing the first time, why put yourself through this? It's disgrace to the Olympic Heritage. For me, that's the last straw. So Sad and Disappointed that this has happened.😪
Geez ! Jordan Chilles Deserves the Bronze ! ❤❤❤
We LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
NO, she does not. American privilege card declined.
The young lady from Romonia deserves the bronze since she literally won. Its no fault of anyone but the judges, they wronged both women with their unprofessionalism.
@@dripfoe_3307 I believe that if the judge's messed up, which they did clearly that both Jordan Chilles and the other woman should definitely both get the bronze medal !
This is probably the first time ever that an Olympic medalist (regardless of color) had to return their medal due to a judging error!!!
Nope, you have had numerous cases.
Judges should have given bronze medals to the Rumanian girls and not taking the one from Chiles.
Paris should never host the olympics ever again. It was horrible!
This is absolutely absurd.
USA Gymnastics and the USOC needs to step up and oppose this with every available legal recourse.
They did and I hope they change it again
NO. Absolutely NOT! She shouldn’t be punished over the judges mistake. The judges should be.
As a non American , I support Chiles🇺🇸
If it was four seconds too late, the judges should have turned down the request on the spot. Apparently, they had accepted the request, the four second delay should be a non-issue. Just give both a medal.
So Anna was stripped of the bronze, now Jordan is stripped and it's returned to Anna, but if Jordan's appeal is successful, it will be sent back to Jordan? I had no idea gymnastics was like civil suits...
Actually if the judges didn't make any mistake, the bronze belongs to Sabrina Maneca-Voinea. Jordan's appeal wouldn't change that since Sabrina's score would be higher than Jordan's after appeal score.
The mistake was made by the judges and yet two well deserving athletes are the ones severely and sadly affected. Lets be honest here, if Romania applealed the floor routine level of difficulty they would have reacted the same as usa and chiles. Happy to get the medal. Regardless, neither girl should suffer. Both should receive a bronze medal. This repeated giving and taking away is just plain insane.
The officials made an error not scoring her correctly, and now they punish her for not calling their error on time.
WOW...just WOW!!!!!!!😮😮😮
4 seconds… 😡 That’s a big reach to strip someone of their medal 🏅
Chiles was on 5th place,. not even 4th place and romanians had 3rd and 4th place. The fair ruling had Chiles on 5th, either way with the upper score or lower, USA tried to steal the honest history and they should be punished for their looting abilitites, that's what they are good at, only stealing. The only reason Chiles was on bronze was that Romanians were treated with injustice 2 times in a row. Chiles is only good for stealing, even with upper score she would be at most on 4th, the cameras proved that, the real bronze winner was the romanian girl on 4th, not the one on 3rd.
@@nobodyjustme9164 Good 👍🏾 thing you not a Olympic judge ya racist ass would be stealing from everybody… lol 😂
#gojumpoffabridge 🌉
Well this is heartbreaking for Jordan. Both of these young ladies worked hard to get to the Olympics and for the judges to show so little respect is maddening. Both young ladies should get a medal.
Shame on the committee for not doing their due diligence!!!! The penalty for those judges should be to not be used again in the next Olympics!!!
I feel like four minutes is not enough time to decide whether to challenge - you really have to be mathing quick, huh? It should be ten minutes. Also, the gymnast who did not step OOB should be given the medal if they’re going to make a mess of this anyway.
Shame on the Olympic Committee! This was an opportunity to Award BOTH of the Gymnasts the Bronze due to THEIR ERROR, those Women should NOT have to suffer their fumble. Don't even worry about it thought Jordan, you are coming back to snatch up ALL the Gold just like Simone has taught You. We will be there to watch You rise like a Phoenix in 2028, it is already written in the Stars ✊🏾🏅💗
Seriously, all these "mistakes" in important events have become a joke, but not to all the athletes who work their lives to stand on that podium in front of the world representing their countries. It isn't a joke for them. This is unprofessionalism at it's best, I can assure you that some people might not take the Olympics seriously after this fiasco. I could say Oscar's and other ceremonies have done this, BUT THIS IS THE OLYMPICS, NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS. Shame on the committee for putting both athletes through such an uncomfortable and distressful situation. None of them deserve this 💔😔 In my opinion, the judges who accounted for the points should be suspended from their positions until further notice or just permanently. I can assure you that half of that judging pannel can't do half the things these girls do on the apparatuses. They aren't being neither considerated nor respectful to the sport or the atheletes. Their mental health depends a lot on this results, I would think by now that was more than clear, I guess not. The fact that this even happened is just unforgivable. They should both get their medals for outstanding performances.
Sabrina Maneca-Voinea of Romania should have won the bronze. She was erroneously deducted a tenth of a point for allegedly going out of bounds. The video review clearly showed that she did NOT step out of bounds! She received a score of 13.700. Give her back that tenth and she would have won the bronze outright over both Ana and Jordan. The horrible judging decisions at the women's floor exercise finals caused unnecessary heartache to three talented girls in their turn! 😢💔💔💔
How did they time the four seconds? Did someone have a stopwatch in their hand? It's a big stadium. It took time to walk to the judges. Just give both a medal.
it's....a medal
if there's such confusion around it, give it to them both. humans are so frustrating.
I don't understand why you as journalists don't mention the name of the judges. I don't think they are secret. Donatella Sacchi is the Italian judge who turned this event into a circus! Say names! What are you afraid of?
This is so heartbreaking. The judges were incorrect, but when the coach appealed it, they were 4 seconds too late. Surely, the Committee has to make this right. 😢
Wow those judges should never be invited back to judge again. After the medals have been awarded that should be the end of it. What glory is in it for the other gymnast anyway?! She won’t be seen having the medal put on her on the podium at the Olympics and that’s a significant memory for all the winners.
Jordan should not be penalized! Settle the whole thing and give all 3 gymnasts a bronze medal. The romania's were fine with this. Why punish Jordan??? I just don't understand how this is fair or right. They have done things like this in the past why not now? This is all about the judges, not the gymnasts. Whoever is in charge should finalize this now with 3 bronze medals, 3 apologies and disciplinary action for the judges. 3 bronze medals🥉🥉🥉. Done!!
Foul. Won't watch or support the Olympics after this. So the judges got it wrong but they stripped her? Hell no. By Olympics.
They should let her keep her medal! The judges should be banned!
that Romania girl deserve her medal
Paris Summer Games the worst ever!!
💯🎯💯🎯
Your opinion. I have found them amazing.
Those incompetent judges should be stripped of their positions. This is absolute bullshit.
We point fingers at the judges, the organizers, one or the other athlete, one or the other country and demand fair play, respect and good sportsmanship.
This starts with being respectful, kind and understanding towards each other, even online, to unknown people that have a different view than ours.
It was a cruel circumstance that I wish will never happen again. Much love to Ana, Jordan and Sabrina. They need it most. And just as much love to Americans, Romanians and the whole World.
It starts with each and every one of us understanding that there is enough for everyone, no need to fear lack. Just saying. Peace ❤
Jordan and her team should have known better. Asking the judges to review her scores a second time while Ana was already celebrating her win (bronze) was so sad to see. You took her joy away and now you're claiming it's racism when she gets her bronze medal back?
Dont. Keep it.
An American stealing something, that's typical.
The judge who submitted their score late should be penalized and removed. Not Jordan.
You can have it back when you pry it from my cold dead hands 🙌
Typical American, always taking something that's not yours
@@kingbullyrock8739definitely not romanias
@@kingbullyrock8739 Is it different in your shithole country? 🤷🏽♂️🤠🍻👋
It's okay that the judges were confused at the beginning, but rules are rules (fair play) and we must always respect them... Congratulations to Ana 🇷🇴 and to the 🇺🇲 FOOTBALL players too
