Re: Paris 2024. The Olympics topic
Should've been settled day of not days later and after Ms Chiles was awarded the medal. What a bad look for women's gymnastics. Because they took so long to "correct the error" many theories have blossomed online.Fastbackss wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 12:30 pm How does the Chiles "investigation" take that long.
What bunk.

It was already "odd" because the Romanian coaches didn't call for the challenge. Chiles' coaches did - but apparently 4 seconds too late.
If I were Chiles coach I would challenge asking "who was the timekeeper" "where is log of the time" etc - lob it back.

What was that about the silver medal?

Re: Paris 2024. The Olympics topic
The whole Chiles thing exhausts me on every front. Yes, it was incredibly poorly handled, but the judges incorrectly ruled the Romanian out of bounds and she deserves the bronze regardless of whether the appeal for Chiles' score was made on time.
The softness of people and the over-emphasis of sports in general drives me nuts. Both camps are claiming their gymnast has suffered severe emotional trauma based who finished third in a subjective sport where judges make the decisions. I feel awful about the racist responses Chiles has apparently received on social media, but that's an entirely different world-is-filled-with-sick-morons issue. The rest is dramatically overblown.

Re: Paris 2024. The Olympics topic
Based on the photos I've seen the out of bounds deduction seems valid. My understanding is that the out of bounds decisions are done electronically on a trial basis, and then confirmed by the judges.
