Jordan Chiles Ordered to Return Her Bronze Medal to Romanian Gymnast After Score Reversal

Since the judges were the only ones who messed up, my personal opinion is that both athletes should get bronze AND an apology from the judges and Olympics committee. The judges hurt two people who were just there to do their best with their mix up, and the fallout is not helping.

The judges ruined it for everyone!

WHY DID THEY ACCEPT IT... IF IT WAS AFTER 4 SECONDS!!!

They could give them both medals. It was the judges fault. It is unacceptable.

The judges should be stripped of their positions…this is horrible for both countries.

Coaches and judges are out here having Jordan Chiles looking crazy. Got her messed up because they didn't follow their own rules.

I am Romanian, but this thing was unfair to all. Actually the fair thing would have been for her and the other Romanian gymnast Sabrina Voinea to be third together, because they also deducted her points for going out of the carpet, which didn't actually happen. But she also put her inquiry in too late for this.

Poor girl! That’s gotta be a sucky and humiliating feeling! I’m sorry Jordan! A prize doesn’t define all of your hard work! You will always be our Champion girl! ❤❤❤

The judges put a huge trauma on both girls.

It shouldn't be on the players to correct the judges' mistakes. As painful as it was for the Romanian Gymnast to have the win revoked, what does receiving a medal she knows she didn't earn prove? It'll never be a justified win. She'll always have an asterisk and know, as the rest of us do, that she didn't measure up. Is that not more embarrassing?😬 Maybe with the medal in her possession she'll just pretend she's one of the best. This is a blemish on the entire Olympic Federation, and just another reason why the French games will go down in history as one of the worst. Such a shameful system.

Korea needs to give Roy Jones Jr the gold medal that he deserve.

The US should refuse placement of EVERY ONE of those judges for any role in the 2028 Olympics. Whatsoever.

It's so sad anyways. Congratulations to both gymnasts that did a great job !

i am romanian, i am upset by the fact that both ana and jordan had to go through this, i feel for both, happy for ana but sad for jordan i cannot lie, furthermore no hating on this but Sabrina was also robbed with the decision that she was deducted points crutial for her 3rd place as she went outside the box but clearly did not, unfortunally the appeal was denied, The judges made huge mistakes, and tbh the whole paris olympic thing was a desaster and a shameful organised event. with people getting sick, no fair judges , shameful last supper etc etc... it was crazy. again my heart goes out to jordan , even if im happy for ana

Give them both a medal, for goodness sakes

Sad for all involved 😞💔💔💔it puts a sour note on the whole competition.

I can’t even watch the Olympics anymore without my heart breaking for these talented girls. First Beijing 2022, now Paris 2024. Wow

If I was Romania I would tell you where to go. try and give me a medal for something I didn’t actually win. You can’t give someone a medal for something they didn’t actually win. A four second mistake, a judges mistake. Now give the medal to someone who didn’t win. A THIRD MISTAKE. What is wrong with you people.

To those saying Jordan didn't deserve the 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!?

Now to quote Jorden herself after the first time they took the medal from someone to give it to her,leavi g Ana crying and feelinh humiliated- "Why can ppl just be happy for others".
