Jordan Chiles’ coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi is issuing a firm response to claims the American gymnast didn’t earn her bronze medal amid ongoing controversy.

Jordan Chiles’ Coach SLAMS Cheating Claims Amid Bronze Medal Controversy | 2024 Olympics | E! News

It’s kind of like when Steve Harvey crowned the wrong Miss Universe. You can’t blame the contestants, blame the judges that messed up!

[alirac]

If the media would stop stirring the pot unnecessarily and would report that no one requested Jordan’s medal to be taken away, but only to be sorted out the misjudged scores and how the whole situation unfolded!

It is unacceptable that the very judges that are supposed to handle things fairly and by the book, can cause such a fiasco!

They should have really taken their time to sort out things properly before ending up with this fiasco!

All three gymnasts involved were wronged and all three of them deserve an official apology!

Verdict is in: Chiles back in 5th, Bărbosu gets the bronze

Everyone keeps blaming Jordan when they should be blaming it on the judges the most for making that error. I’m glad the coach fully explained it. I too feel bad for Ana Barbosu that got emotional, but it is what it is.

She didn't steal it but the Romanian gymnast deserves to be given a bronze medal for her performance . Justice for Romania🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

No one in Romania (that counts) is blaming Jordan for anything, especially Ana. People like to incite to hate, but as Ana said at her arrival in the country after the Olympics, athletes don't deserve mistreatment of any kind, they all worked hard to get to where they are. She also didn't celebrate too early. They officially announced her as a winner before the review of Jordan's inquiry has been solved. Furthermore, no one wants to take Jordan's medal. Our sports federation and other authorities are just trying to clarify for the girls why there was an unfair deduction in Sabrina's case (they said she stepped out of bounds, but there's no proof at the moment that she did, only that she didn't) and why did they announce Ana as winner of the bronze medal while they were still reviewing Jordan's inquiry, an inquiry that neither our commentators or some international commentators have seen appear next to Jordan's name. We literally didn't know Jordan's coaches inquired. They do have all the right to inquire and no one is blaming them for anything. It's the organizers or the judges that messed things up.

As Jordan’s sister said, THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE JUDGES SCORED HER CORRECTLY!

[Soper.Nova]

The two Romanians performed way way better than Jordan.

[LiamSilverman]

Honestly I was surprised she got bronze I thought the two girls ahead of her originally actually did perform better than her

[Inner_Authority]

Utterly disgraceful and biased judges. An abomination.

[lifeandstylewiththedivas]

The judges made a mistake. Cecile was not having any mistakes, did what she was supposed to do and made a timely inquiry. The judges corrected their mistake and her score was adjusted accordingly. Leave Jordan and her coaches in peace…

[glaznflip]

But Sabrina didn’t step out of bounds…. that’s the issue.

[chauntelle_a]

In football you can challenge calls too we don’t blame the football players. She has no control over a judging oversight.

[jonp]

Justice for Romania. Investigate these shameful judges and return the medal to its rightful winner.

[alexramirez]

Ok everyone needs to stop blaming Jordan for this. She did what she needed to do and that was perform. Her coaches did what they felt they needed to do, which was inquire about the score. The Judges didn't need to accept that inquiry, but they did. It was the judges decision to give her the credit. Romania has every right to be upset, but that's the way it goes sometimes. The judging is so subjective

[AJXOXO-vzpn]

Jordan Chiles didn’t cheat. It’s not her fault that the judges messed up. The judges should be required to double check their scores and make sure everything is tabulated correctly.

[teresalegler]

Well done! Congratulations to Ms Jordan and her coach. Glad she pursued the panel of judges to review the video. Every athlete deserves good representation.

[catalinifrim]

Jordan Chiles lost the bronze medal. It is what it is!!!

[kangi]

Jordan doesn't deserve the medal. It's all politics. The Romanian did not step out of bounds.

[virgilsacoyda]

It was the judges mistake, but one athlete was already robed. That’s it.
