Good. She should keep it. She is not going to jail for keeping the medal.

Patrick Peterson caught the ball inbounds too.

This isn't a subjective issue though. It's very much objective and a clerical type error.
How can you say this about Chiles but not about the girl stepping OOB?

Because they screwed up Chiles predetermined start value. It had nothing to do with judges on the floor.

The US saw her start value at 5.8 in multiple rounds and ignored it. They deserve some of the blame here too.
Regardless, stepping OOB isn’t subjective in this case. The whole thing is a clusterfrick.

However, instant replay clearly shows she did not step out of bounds. You can't appeal that,
Well this made it the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
So you can appeal the appeal of the appeal, but you also cant appeal something that’s clear as day on video….

The IOC could have made this easy by awarding 3 bronze medals to settle the controversy over the US appeal of Chiles’ start value and to right the wrong of the 5th place Romanian being penalized for stepping out of bounds when she clearly didn’t.

Another wonderful example proving that one cannot be saved by the law, because law only brings convictionto error. Grace is the Way. There is no legal solution that will satisfy this medal situation.

IIRC both Romania and the US asked for this - the problem is that the FIG (governing body for gymnastics) has rules in place that only allow them to place one person for each medal. So, it couldn't be done.

Nor should she.

She should be sued for conversion

I don't know that the medal should belong to the 4th place girl. It sucks the judges messed up but it happened in real time on something that's not reviewable. It's not the same situation as the error they made with Chiles
Sounds like something they could appeal, but doesn’t sound like they got an appeal in in time.

They don’t have participation trophies to give. Give one to both of them and send them on the way

Team USA says you're wrong and says they have timestamp proof. It would be nice if they posted it online.
