Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 5133038, member: 41"] Chiles went last on the Floor Exercise, and her score seemed low. The coaches filed an inquiry to make sure the judges had the correct start value for her routine. The judges had erred, and raised her start value by .1, which also raised her final score by .1 She was bumped from 13.666 to 13.766, and ended up with the Bronze medal. The Romanians protested that the US inquiry came too late. You have 1 minute from when the score is posted to file an inquiry, and they claimed that the inquiry wasn't received until 1:04. 4 seconds too late. An "independent" review board sided with the Romanians, and Chiles was stripped of the medal. USA Gymnastics found video evidence that the inquiry was filed in plenty of time and is appealing. It wouldn't be the Olympics without some controversy. [/QUOTE]
