Romanian Gymnast Responds to Jordan Chiles’s Over Stripped Medal Controversy, Olympians Offer Their Support

 

“This is truly appalling, and I am deeply saddened for Jordan.” I have your support eternally, Jo. You will always be an Olympic champion, and you have all of my blooms.

Heath Thorpe, an Australian gymnast and Olympian, also conveyed his disappointment, despite the fact that he was not competing this year.

“Why are the athletes the ones to suffer due to a judging error/oversight?” he inquired. “Where is the responsibility?” ‘Athlete wellbeing’ is frequently referenced; however, where is it located?

There were “some issues” with the ruling, according to ice skating Olympian Adam Rippon.

“If someone contacted me after the official results and podium and informed me that I was required to return the bronze medal.” From my frigid, lifeless limbs, please?

“I would be returning to LAX on a flight, and that item would be stored in a safe. You would never see it again,” he stated.

“Contact the blacksmith to fabricate a new one, as this is the sole method by which you will receive a bronze medal from me.” Certainly not.”
