Facts are the coach didn’t appeal in time. The coach is the idiot/cheater to blame.

no disputing that...but she was not better than Chiles in that event, and the judges admitted as much by adding .1 to her score...

A minute is not a lot of time to first deal with the disappointment of your gymnast, then realize there was a scoring error, and then get over to the judges' table to file the appeal.

I could see holding the team to the one minute ruling if the appeal involved a judgment call made by one of the judges, but if it were a true mistake in calculating the score then the time limit should be waived.

I think it was political. The United States was racking up the medals and the judges wanted to "spread the wealth around" to other nations.

“Facts are the coach didn’t appeal in time. The coach is the idiot/cheater to blame.”

One minute window. OC said coach was SIX SECONDS late. Coach says otherwise.

Not true, they claimed they were 2 seconds late but the film showed that wasn’t true. Her whining about race is stupid.

People did support her and the ruling was BS but not about race.
