Oooh she's good.

Commentator on French CBC.... it's been a while we haven't seen this tuck small jump on the rebound... Imagine the pressure on the ankles and tendons...

Me : no... I don't want to know. I want to remain in this blissful state that this is not hurting for any of them....

Sigh.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Okay, I thought she was better....

 

[4everchan]

They made an inquiry but nothing was changed...shame, I would have put her above her teammate...

[figureskatingandrainbows]

oh my god Jordan just moved up to bronze! I feel for Ana tho

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh no Romania podium

I mean Jordan Chiles did her best but man it'd have been great for Romania to get on the podium again

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Emotional rollercoaster...whew. Now a few hours to calm down and then hoping for a new WR by Duplantis

Can you imagine if figure skaters could argue with their scores like this ?

Competitions would take so much longer...

Still waiting Piper and Paul's scores from worlds to be revised and for them to win gold...

I wish FIG would do what the ISU does and publish each judge's score (who still remain anonymous) for artistic and execution for each competitor. It would help with transparency. Poor Jordan getting criticisms. I felt bad for the Romanians as well. I am curious to know though what types of inquiries permit a change of score and what types of inquiries do not permit a change of score in artistic gymnastics.

As far as I understand, inquiries are only for the difficulty score. If a gymnast feels that a connection bonus or element has not been correctly awarded, they will inquire and attempt to raise the difficulty score. Some examples will be whether or not they earned credit for dance elements/jumps (is the free leg above the head), did they put their foot down on a connection, were they in a piked position or not, how many turns did they get on a wolf turn, etc. I do agree with you on publishing scores - the ISU (oftentimes deservedly) gets a lot of pushback for scoring, but they are at least attempting to make scoring as transparent and easy to understand as possible.

The Romanians seem pretty upset about what happened. The prime minister won't be at the closing ceremony.

 

[Skating91]

Wow they found enough points like if by magic.

Also, Biles couldn't have conducted herself differently. Act like a champion.

I was checking out artistic swimming and then I discovered that gymnternet is on fire, so many issues raised about judging (especially OOB rulings) not just about floor EF but across the WAG competition in general... I can't really tell underrotations properly across all sports and honestly I'm happy that I can't for now, wish I could say the same for OOB recognition
