However then her coaches submitted an inquiry upon her behalf. In line with NBC Olympics, “an inquiry is a verbal problem of a routine’s rating. It’s adopted by a written inquiry that have to be submitted earlier than the top of the rotation. The problem can solely be introduced ahead after the gymnast’s last rating is posted and earlier than the top of the following gymnast’s routine.”
If the gymnast is the final to compete, there’s a one-minute time restrict that begins after the rating is proven on the scoreboard, in keeping with the Worldwide Gymnastic Federation (FIG).
The scoring inquiry was a couple of cut up leap in Chiles’ routine referred to as the tour jeté full.
“Within the group qualification, within the group last, she didn’t get credit score for this talent,” Olympian and NBC gymnastics analyst John Roethlisberger mentioned through the broadcast. “Within the preliminary analysis of the talent, the judges didn’t give her credit score for that. I talked to Cecile and Laurent Landi, her coaches, and so they mentioned, ‘We thought she did it a lot better right here within the last. So we thought now we have nothing to lose, let’s put in an inquiry.’”
After reviewing Chiles’ routine, the judges accepted the inquiry and credited Chiles 0.1 for the leap, bumping her rating as much as 13.766 for third place.
Consequently, Chiles—who burst into comfortable tears when she noticed the outcomes—received bronze. In the meantime, Barbosu, who’d already been waving Romania’s flag in celebration of her personal efficiency, misplaced her place on the rostrum.
