Gymnast Ana Barbosu to get bronze after court ruling
The 23-year-old athlete's sister slammed the decision to remove Chiles from the third place in the gymnastics event that took place on August 5. “Please keep Jordan (and my family) in your prayers,” Jazmin, who owns Hair Goals by Jazmin Dominique, a beauty salon in Washington, wrote in a heated statement shared on her Instagram story.
“Racism is real, it exists, it is alive and well,” she continued, adding, “They have officially, 5 days later, stripped her [Chiles] of one of her medals. Not because she didn't win, not because she was drugged, not because she stepped out of bounds. Not because she wasn't good enough.”
Jazmin went on to say, “But because the judges failed to give her difficulty and forced an inquiry to be made.” “FOUR SECONDS. Her bronze was stripped over 4 seconds of time that would have never needed to happen if the judges did their job,” she added. “I love you baby sis. And I got yo back no matter what,” she concluded.
