This Jordan chiles situation is so frustrating, especially knowing that the olympics have handled situations like this so much better before.
In the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics doubles figure skating, one of the judges was found to have been bribed to place the Russian skaters; Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, higher. They ended up winning gold unaware their results were fixed. After it was revealed, they shared their gold with the original silver medalists from Canada; Jamie Salé and David Pelletier, and had another medal ceremony so they each got to receive their own gold medal and stand on the podium. This makes sense since none of the skaters were at fault, it was the judge, they all skated at their best, they didn't deserve punishment.
I know these sports aren't the same and I'm not an expert on either but in both situations you have athletes scores being messed up by incompetent judging, the athletes shouldn't be the ones being punished here! IOC doesn't normally take medals away unless the athlete is guilty of cheating in some way which no athlete did here.
What happened in 2002 wasn't perfect (the bronze medalist refused to participate in the 2nd medal ceremony, pretty understandable tbf) but it was much better than what happened here, it should've set a standard because none of the gymnasts deserve this.

so, from what i gather, there are now three possible different answers for who won bronze in this fucking final: if you go by the results as they were for the medal ceremony, jordan won. if you go by the scores originally given and the rules as they should have been followed, ana won. but if you go by what actually happened (ie, sabrina did not actually go out of bounds), sabrina won. MESS

I don't see how he was being childish and disrespectful as some comments suggest. Do you think any other competing country would be given a chance to opt out of answering a controversial question?

i don't get the small folk viewing the death of the dragon that killed so many of them for no reason as "an ill omen"
because it’s a dragon. it’s a god! it’s a living walking breathing god to a bunch of people whose gods are incredibly silent!! maegor didn’t parade quicksilver’s body around did he!!!! a dragon was killed in combat for the first time since MAEGOR’S RULE and then they chopped its head off and paraded it through town!!!! there’s a level of decorum i think everyone expects high born people to be treated with - for example criston specirically taking lord darklyn’s head off - and they didn’t even show that to a living god!! of course they think it’s an ill omen!! it also like, isn’t meleys’ fault that they came up through the floor, that was rhaenys’ decision, and you don’t blame the horse for what the soldier does do you? vhagar went from being laena’s to being aemond’s, these dragons don’t have allegiances, they have riders. and criston & aemond throw all that propoganda about them being gods OUT THE WINDOW in an instant!! and the smallfolk immediately pick up on that vibe - this war is spiraling to a point where people are willing to throw away whatever decorum, whatever Super Special Valyrian Godliness they have to brag about a fight that barely counts as a win and go “oh if they’re gonna treat EACH OTHER like that what the fuck are they gonna do to ME?” and try to make a run for it but the gates are already barred, they are already being locked in like cattle to a slaughter. and that realization starts with seeing meleys’ rotting head and realizing they are treating dragons the same way they treat the smallfolk, which means the way they treat the smallfolk is about to get MUCH WORSE.

Instead of returning her medal, Jordan Chiles should tell the Olympics that she gave it to Elmo and have them fight muppets for the medal back. Also people on social media should say who has it and make whoever is asking for the medal to be returned look bad for fighting puppets and Jordan. Just my thoughts.

Are we sure this was the element that was not credited and then credited upon inquiry? Because that is pretty egregious if so
I can't believe the judges accepted the inquiry for Jordan's Gogean. It's literally a quarter short with her still turning on the ground. Literally no d panel ever from 2017-now would accept this except for this one. I feel really bad for Ana. I thought the judges were cracking down on form and dance elements in finals hence Ana beating out Sabrina and Jordan but then Sabrina's inquiry got rejected while Jordan's was accepted.

[LONG POST AHEAD!!]
ough please let me explain the concept of a zeroes au !!!
alright so zeroes is a book series (by scott westerfeld) that changed my life but i would never recommend to anyone ever. long story short it's about a bunch of 17yo's with the world's shittiest superpowers and they get into a bunch of hijinks like going to jail, running from (superpowered) serial killers, and the crashing weddings. the usual.
that's irrelevant rn though! the way that zeroes works is that there's i think like seven? different powers that someone can have, each with an opposite or an "inside out" version. some of the powers are also. really hard to explain. but i'll try my best. some powers don't have official names, so i put the characters' code-names instead.
POWERS:
-> Bellwether/Anonymous - BELLWETHER is if "leader" was a superpower. BELLWETHER is basically the power to kind of charm-speak people into trusting you. this power relies on The Curve (AKA 6+ people) to work, and makes surrounding people listen to them and pay attention, as well as swaying them to agree with them. ANONYMOUS is the near opposite of that, and instead of making them the most important person in the room, it renders them near invisible. except worse than that. no one can remember them ever and it's as if there's no object permanence when it comes to them.
-> Maker/Crash - a MAKER is a technopath! only instead of it being vaguely "tech stuff" i think it's electrical pulses. which also includes biological electrical pulses. it's like if technopathy and bloodbending combined. a CRASH does exactly what the name implies--crashes things! much much more destructive than a MAKER, a CRASH can take down entire networks and are incentivized to do so because tech feels like the worst headache known to man to them.
-> Beau/Sight-Caster - BEAU is like if "attention whore" was an ability. everyone's eyes are drawn to them and it becomes very very hard to look away. they're just. so beautiful? so gorgeous? whatever it is, you can't seem to look away. a SIGHT-CASTER is most definitely an invasion of privacy. they can see through everyone's eyes--the only exception being ANONYMOUS.
-> Mob/Swarm - a MOB is a crowd power relying on The Curve and works through an emotional connection to crowds. parties are great, but tests not so much. a SWARM is every negative side-effect to that. they take crowds and turn them into murderous stampedes, often losing themselves in bloodlust.
-> Clarity/Glitch - CLARITY makes you see and understand everything you've ever done in your life. kind of like if you peeled back the layers of yourself to see everything ever. kind of overwhelming imo. GLITCH is the opposite, twisting and warping your perception of everything to give you the worst trip of your life. like if your brain was a funhouse mirror.
-> Scam/Verity - a SCAM is a Voice inside someone that speaks through their mouth to say whatever you want to hear. the super-person has no power over what the Voice says and it usually lies. if the super-person needs to get out of a situation, the Voice has got their back! it will probably get them into an even worse situation but that how the power works. VERITY works the opposite, compelling someone to tell the truth and only the truth; basically if "lie-detector" was a superpower.
-> Coin - COIN tricks your brain into thinking things are what they are not. typically usedto make fake money, but theoretically works for anything.

yeah, when people started talking about the inquiry being late, i kind of rolled my eyes, thinking they were (understandably) just throwing whatever at the wall to see what stuck. but apparently not. i do hope the FIG lets jordan keep her medal, because it would be precedent-breaking to strip her, but i'm happy for Ana.
