[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the judges gave Jordan the wrong score
US was seconds late asking for a rescore
Jordan's real score is 3rd place but 5th due to a technicality

Is that right?[/quote]

Jordan's real score was 4th if you also ignore the technicality that cost Sabrina the medal. If you count technicalities, Chiles is 5th, if you count what the gymnasts should have scored with competent judging, she's 4th. She's only 3rd if you count her appeal and continue to discount Sabrina's appeal. [/quote]
The crazy part is that Ana is getting the medal with the 5th best performance.

The judges have never actually looked at Sabrina's appeal and they have the potential to find other deductions if they rescore her (the performance is reconsidered as a whole and scores can go up or down in an inquirt) so it's not clear where she'd place if her appeal was granted.  Romania argues that she'd gain 0.1, but that's not been decided by the judges.[/quote]

They said she stepped out of bounds, she didn't. That is even more cut and dry than chiles claiming an additional skill  [/quote]

And had she followed the rules and challenged it, then it would be a conversation.  But she didn’t, so if we are strictly going by the rules, it doesn’t matter.  She could have equally availed herself of the challenge process and did not.  [/quote]
When a gymnast files an inquiry, the judge rescore the whole routine so it's possible her score would go down instead of up if they consider that there was another mistake.  No one knows the outcome beyond conjecture.[/quote]
