This Olympics has been the worst Olympics ever.

The worst Olympics! Bad opening ceremony. Forcing athletes to swin in polluted river. Bad accommodation. Giving medals without reviewing appeal first. Like what the hell? How is it okay to give and withdraw a medal given? How do you think the gymnast feel after you take her medal away? You should have review appeals first before giving medals.

It wasn’t just Barbosu, it was Voinea too. They claimed she stepped on the line when recordings even from an American tv station prove that she didn’t. These two girls were both pushed away so the American gymnast could get on the podium.

Paris olympics will always be remembered for all the wrong reasons
-
As an American, I have to say that I support Romania on this issue 100 percent. I feel so sorry for that girl. She was robbed.
-
Olympics is no more. It has lost the credibility.

Favoritism and politics! Outrageous! Please know Sabrina’s couch did not receive an explanation how her score was calculated. Corrupt judges playing with children’s mental health! Later edit:Justice was served!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴 Deșteaptă-te române!
-
Majority of countries should boycott the disastrous game, closing ceremony, period.
-
Kudos to Romania and Italy leaders for standing up for their sportsperson
-
Thank you very much for supporting our Romanian girls!!!❤

Make Justice for Romania 🇷🇴🤩

This years Olympics has been cruel to the sports people. Clearly this Olympics was about politics, gay and cross gender rights over all others, and making money; they sports people was just a second thought. Also the Olympics that insulted Christians all over the world.

It's not just that the decision was changed, it's that the Romanians also submitted their own inquiries for their respective grades – but they were rejected without review. Only the one from USA was accepted (and prob late too). The American broadcaster NBC, of all agencies, definitively proved that a referee mistake was made with one of the Romanian gymnasts (the one that ended up 5th). She was penalized for her foot breaching the mat, when the video shows she hadn't.

This is the WORST OLYMPICS EVER!!!! IS THIS A JOKE!!!
-
This incident wasn’t fully explained. The Romanians were angered because 0.1 was deducted from the Romanian gymnast’s score for no apparent reason. Initially it was thought for stepping out of the perimeter but closer inspection showed she didn’t.
-
I watched the routine by the Romanian gymnast and opined she was awarded an unfairly low score. Before her result was announced, I thought she would be placed even ahead of Simone Biles and deserved to be second. This Olympics is a shamble and any organization that is led by the West or can be influenced by them is a joke.

Hockey, boxing, wrestling, gymnast all controversies. Lost credibility of olympics. Shame Shame dirty olympics.
-
It is nothing but a slap in the face of the hardworking athletes. A big rip-off for the rest.
-
Its so clear to us, brazilians, the same. All this to try to say US is better than China. We always had seen this. Since 80's. It was not fair for the romanian gymnast. She is amazing. Don't let this ridiculous situation steal your dreams.

I am a US Citizen, and I agree, the medal should have stayed where it was given in the first place
