So the Romanian Federation is truly trying to have their cake and eat it too… they really went to CAS claiming Jordan’s inquiry was 4 seconds late leading to a redistribution of medals… just to go to SFT saying they should be able to file an inquiry WEEKS late? #makeitmakesense
The Romanian Gymnastics Federation and Sabrina Maneca Voinea have filed an appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal of the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Maneca Voinea was penalized one-tenth of a point for going out of bounds during the floor finals, but video showed that she actually did not step out.
The way FIG truly just crawled back into its hole, never once voicing any support for the athletes and condemning the hate they've received over the last week and a half.
Class organisation. /s
We’ve had statements from both USAGym and FRG condemning the hateful attacks on the gymnasts.
You know who’s said NOTHING in support of the gymnasts? The FIG, who is effectively responsible for all of this mess.
Shame on you, @gymnastics. Shame on you.
reminder the FIG and IOC have still in no way accepted responsibility for causing this whole mess nor have they apologized to a single party involved. despicable ass organizations if you ask me!
Everyone take a minute and report that Daily Romania account. Not only have they been horribly racist about Jordan, they make repeated slurs towards the LGBTQ community, immigrants and basically any non-white, non-Christian people. An utterly vile account
What really pisses me off about the FIG and IOC announcements on this is that they provide no context. There is no acknowledgment of the fact that @gymnastics own errors caused this.
If you had no idea what the situation is, you might think Chiles did something wrong.
1/7 Let’s talk. In a sport that has so many subjective elements that can drastically vary a score it’s important to remember and generally respect the adjudication the day of the event.
Many points can be raised as to what could have or should have been done.
