Nadia Comaneci spoke out in the defense of Paris Olympic gymnasts Jordan Chiles and Ana Barbosu amid widespread controversy over a score change that will decide who gets a bronze medal.
Just days after gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci criticized judges in Paris for a score changed score that gave Jordan Chiles a medal, she is now coming to Chiles' defense. A controversial reversal of the score change from the women's floor exercise final was announced on Saturday, which could ultimately lead to Chiles being stripped of her bronze medal – one that was given to her after judges increased her score and denied a medal that was initially to go to Romania's Ana Barbosu.
Throughout the appeal process, Jordan has been subject to consistent, utterly baseless and extremely hurtful attacks on social media. No athlete should be subject to such treatment. We condemn the attacks and those who engage, support or instigate them. We commend Jordan for conducting herself with integrity both on and off the competition floor, and we continue to stand by and support her.' Chiles is only the third gymnast in history to have an Olympic medal stripped.
