They stole the 3th position to the Romanian! It's been terribly shameful!

This is what sisterhood is about!! 3 icons that not only make their countries proud, but also women and black people from all over the world!

Dear Americans
You are promoting a lie. Ana and Sabrina were both better than Jordan (read what experts have to say about this) and Biles deserved at most and that doubtedly a 3rd place. Black podium yey inclusivity
INTENTIONALLY GIVING THE WRING SCORE TO a gymnast from a small country yey dominnace over meritocracy
America is a disgrace
You have great sportsmen, yes, exceptional
But some are just better sometimes and have to fight to fix an INTENTIONAL MISTAKE

Jordan didn't deserve the bronze medal. The arbiters just robbed the Romanian girl of her medal and gave it to Jordan! So unfair! Shame!

[kennethhoward]

Chiles stole the metal from Corrupt officials during an appeal. She did not earn it. It was stolen from a Romanian. Gymnast.

Americancele au prădat și au furat, fetele noastre de aur, de medaliile de argint și bronz, căci ele meritau, medalia de argint și bronz, iar Rebecca Andrade, medalia de aur.🙏♥️💯🇷🇴🇷🇴🌹🌹💞☮️🌞❤️🇹🇩💓🥰💝👏

Thanks, NBC, for not showing any discus (or javelin or hammer throw) for the entire Olympics!

[matthewhines]

I do not believe Jordan's performance was medal-worthy on that day. I believe the Romanian girls were robbed and that judges made mistakes...or were pressured by a very powerful U.S. N.O.C.
That being said. I do love this all black girl magic podium. I cry every time I watch the girls hug and bow and hold hands. I am proud of Jordan even though mistakes were made by officials.

[danieladenuta]

Congrats for two medals stolen for romanian gilrs, you should be ashamed not aplaud cheerledinfand circus? This is not gymnastic!.

[talasattila]

They fixed the obvious blunder. "The first 3 black athletes on the podium" was fake, the romanian Gymnast reinstated, and the Bronze medalist black girl fell to 5th place.

[jasonr]

All black podium??? I’m wondering if white people would say shit like that ..Would it be excepted???

[ME-frpc]

Favoritism at its finest! Only Rebeca deserves her medal, the other 2 are on the podium based on favoritism and politics! Biles stepped several times out. Shame on the judges! Some many times Romanians are portrayed as robbers, however you ROBBED serval medals through history! Disgusting!

[mateimarcu]

Chiles - bye bye bronze medal!
Justice was done: Ana - bronze

[rawbert-uzkv]

So three black women, did I say women, won all the medal; however I read that two others NOT black had wrong scoring is that true.

[han]

Haha, the Bronze decision was reversed and given back to the Romanian gymnast.
They took nice photos though 🤣
Both Romanian girls should have been on that podium. One was penalized for stepping out of bounds when she didn’t. She was supposed to have Silver.

[jayr]

She wasn't out of bounds at all. Watch the video.
