But then her coach left an investigation on her behalf. According to NBC OS“An investigation is an oral challenge of a routine point. It is followed by a written request that must be submitted before the end of the rotation. The challenge can only be developed after the gymnast’s final result has been published and before the end of the next gymnast’s routine. ”
If the gymnast is the last to compete, there is a time limit of one minute that starts after the score is displayed on the scoreboard, according to the International Gymnastic Federation (Fig).
The point request was about a split leap in Chile’s routine called Tour Jeté Full.
“In the team qualification she did not receive credit for this skill in the team finals,“ Olympian and NBC Gymnastics Analyst John Roethhlisberger said during the broadcast. “In the first evaluation of the skill, the judges did not give her credit for it. I talked to Cecile and Laurent LandiHer coach, and they said, ‘We thought she was doing much better here in the final. So we thought we have nothing to lose, let’s put in a request. “”
After reviewing Chile’s routine, the judges accepted the investigation and credited Chile’s 0.1 for the jump and encountered their score up to 13,766 for third place.
As a result, Chiles – which burst into happy tears erupted when she saw the results – bronze. At the same time, Barbosu, who had already waved Romania’s flag to celebrate his own performance, lost its place on the podium.
