The committee is such an embarrassment. In such cases, they should give both athletes the medal.

Both gymnast should get a medal ! . It was the judges that messed up. There was a few calls in my opinion that were questioned! If the score was wrong in the first place, why should a four second late appeal even matter! I feel bad for all involved!
-
The crazy thing about this is they are taking the medal away, NOT because there was anything wrong with the scoring correction, but because Jordan's coach was 4 seconds late in her score inquiry that night. The irony is that the Romanian coaches, WHO NEVER FORMALLY PROTESTED THAT EVENING, were permitted to get 5 days AFTER the medal had already been awarded and the competition was over to look through video, catch something they didn't see or raise the night of, bring it to the arbitration and they immediately give in to the Romanians and didn't tell THEM that they were late by 5 days.

This is horrible, because there is a PANEL of judges that inaccurately scored Jordan Chiles the first time around. Then after an appeal, gave her what she rightfully deserved as a score, only to then blame her for being late by four seconds. This is wrong!!
-
Why can't they give both women a bronze medal? Since the judges made several mistakes, let both gymnasts keep a medal. This happens in other events.

So Romania threatens IOC and IOC gives in. Whose watch counted the 1 minute and 4 SECONDS. Give me a break.
-
The Olympics committee should give both Gymnasts a medal. This Olympics has been a sham. Be strong, Jordyn, and proud. America is behind you all the way. You are loved and admired.

Truthfully, this is a mess. Barbosu doesn't deserve the medal in my opinion, Voinea does. However, Cecile Landi having as much experience as she had fought for her athlete. Give the bronze to Voinea or do a joint bronze to Barbosu and Chiles and get it over with. This has not been very comfortable for all athletes involved honestly.

We support you Jordan. You are the true bronze winner. The judges made the mistake not you. You are a gold metal winner too!
-
the gymnasts have nothing to do with the decision of the sports court, which declared that a mistake was made illegally and that it needs to be remedied...the referees have the only fault...they increased his score through a procedure outside the time / rules . LOVE to JORDAN

JORDA CHILES: RIGHTFULLY EARNED THE BRONZE MEDAL!
-
They should let the girls share it
-
To those saying Jordan didn't deserve the medal or that both should medal...here are the facts. It's not about who deserved but who earned the medal. The judges failed to give Jordan credit for one of the skills in her routine. Had they done so her score would have been higher. The other gymnast is now reclaiming the medal over a 4 second violation, not a higher earned score. That is unfair. The judges did Jordan wrong and call foul for 4 seconds...who even calculated that!?
-
Thats sad ! They shouldnt gave it to her until they figured it all out.
-
I feel bad for both Jorden and the Romanian gymnast both got screwed by the judges it’s honestly disgusting
-
I'm sad for Jordan. This is the act of WWT period!

Jordan, you are the TRUE winner 🥰🤗 FACTS !!!
