Maybe I forget because it happens only every four years, but I don’t remember all the drama with prior Olympics.
The one that really blows my mind is the Jordan Chiles bronze medal debacle. Chiles was awarded the bronze medal on the floor finals after her coaches appealed her score, thinking the judges missed a tenth of a point on her difficulty. After looking at the replay the judges agreed.
Now it’s being said that the coaches appealed too late and that Chiles didn’t actually get the medal. She is being told to return her medal. I feel like this is so unfair to Chiles.
