[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Exactly.  Americans can’t even look at this without bias. Te two Romanian gymnasts were the wronged parties here.  You have video evidence that Sabrina didn’t step out and they still denied her appeal.   The other Romanian gymnast had the medal taken away from her after they announced her winning bronze.  Americans stop whining. [/quote]

[b]Sorry, but Sabrina's coach (crazy stage mother) didn't challenge the out-of-bounds, so that doesn't matter. Her inquiry on other grounds was denied, so her score stands. She wasn't wronged, as the appropriate process was followed. [/b]Jordan was grievously wronged because the superior jury accepted her inquiry, changed her score, and awarded her the medal. The Superior Jury (i,e. the Federation of International Gymnastics) was also a party to the CAS proceeding and presented evidence in support of the outcome that awarded Jordan the medal. If the CAS decision was correct, then FIG massively screwed up, either by accepting the late inquiry or by not having their ducks in a row to demonstrate at the CAS hearing that the inquiry by Jordan's coaches was timely.

Also, Ana is partially a victim because it appeared that the arena announcer had begun to announce the winners, starting with gold medalist Rebeca Andrade, before the scoreboard reflected Jordan's inquiry. Ana most likely believed that when the announcement started, the scores were final. The announcements stopped after Rebeca, but it was confusing. Like Jordan, she continues to be victimized by the battle and uncertainty over whether the inquiry was timely, which is all FIG's fault. [/quote]

And Jordan's coach challenged late, so it doesn't matter. See how that logic works? The sport allows for an appeal to the CAS just like it allows an appeal to the superior jury. Jordan never should have won, the judges screwed Sabrina and then the screwed Ana by accepting a late appeal [/quote]

Didn't I specifically say that the judges screwed Ana by accepting the inquiry late?  I'm still not seeing how Sabrina was screwed by anyone other than her coach.[/quote]

You're not seeing how the girl who didn't go out of bounds and was docked for going out of bounds was screwed by the judges? [/quote]

As was the case for Jordan, there was an avenue for her coach to challenge the neutral deduction and her coach didn't use it, so no, I don't think she was screwed by the judges. [/quote]
