I have spent most of today and yesterday following the Olympics and the Jordan Chiles floor bronze medal saga. I spent yesterday thinking how insane it was that CAS was able to find that the inquiry was four seconds late and therefore the inquiry should not have been accepted never mind upheld… and now US Gym have put forward video footage that shows the inquiry went in 47 seconds after the score was posted? So they’re apparently relying on video feeds, it doesn’t look like there was an official with a stopwatch to say nope? Well, that’s just stupid.

I’m with Adam Rippon who did a little talky video where he said if it was him, they could take the medal out of his cold dead hands.

And! Romania and USA had agreed to share but IOC said no? Utterly ridiculous.

Also gotta say, I love how it took two and a half years for CAS to sort out the Beijing team event medals but can do this in a week.
