I 100% believe if Romania only had their own arena footage claiming Cecile's inquiry was late & FIG never did official time keeping, Jordan would have kept her bronze as CAS would have ruled it too subjective, human error, or field of play decision. CAS rightfully threw out Romania's 84 second claim & are rightfully accepting FIG's official omega time stamps that say 64 seconds. Contesting FIG official time records with video evidence from either Romania or USAG is irrelevant just like contesting Sabrina's OOB with NBC camera angles.
I'm never believing English speaking gymternet rumors again cause the rumor that FIG had no official time system and Romania and FIG both had in arena videos showing 64 seconds ended up completely wrong 💀. Meanwhile all the reports coming out of Romanian sources have ended up accurate. I literally thought they were lying about Cecile's inquiry being late so something would stick but they had video evidence the whole time & mentioned it day 1 + Omega timing vindicated them. FRG announced Ana's appeal was successful, while Sabrina's was denied 1st too. And now they were the first to announce CAS rejected USAG appeal.
This is the journalist who wrote the informative Gozalo article that broke down Omega vs Longines inquiries, Romania timing vs US timing vs Omega timing, the OOB cameras + inquiries, the d score inquiries, & FIG IOC FRG USAG stances on medal allocation. It's actually insane how much more competent Romania's lawyers have been than USAG's if it's true that USAG's "conclusive evidence" is BETHANY LOBO video. If they used cut up fan videos with Samsung metadata sent to Cecile's Twitter DMs, that is truly EMBARRASSING. I hope they at least had NBC, OBS, documentary, or arena footage.
#if usag used fan videos from TWITTER they probably got laughed out of court omg#it would get thrown out faster than romania arena footage#i hope theyre not actually that incompetent#but if so it explains why that bethany lobo girl is having a meltdown#people really gassed her up and thought she could overturn a cas decision with random meta data clips#its not even uninterrupted footage either
