The Romanian Gymnastics Federation has proposed Monday’s (12) Paris Games final between Romanians Sabrina Maneca-Voinia and Ana-Maria Barbosu and North American Jordan Chiles to share the bronze medal.
According to the federation, the company’s lawyers presented the proposal to seek consensus on the dispute, which received support from the US delegation.
Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade won the floor event final. Barbosu and Vonia scored 13,700 points in the competition, with the former climbing the podium based on the difficulty of the sequence.
At issue was the United States’ appeal against Chile’s score in fifth place. By the end of the tournament it had risen to 13,766.
Barbosu’s shock after the change went viral on social media. The Romanian was already celebrating with his country’s flag when the result was announced, and soon broke down in tears.
The American stood on stage and performed a famous bow to Rebecca.
After the match, the referee for the game overturned the score change, and the North American Federation requested a review after a one-minute timeout after announcing the score. The US says it has proof that the request was made by the deadline.
To make the situation even more complicated, the Romanian Federation requested a review of Voinia’s score, claiming that she had not left the stage as the judges had claimed. If the appeal is upheld, he will get the bronze. CAS denied the request for review.
