That really seemed impossible! Sabrina Voinea can take the silver medal, won in Paris by Simone Biles

Ana Maria Bărbosu was stripped of her bronze medal from the floor event at the Paris Olympics, following the appeal filed by the American Jordan Chiles. Sabrina Voinea submitted an appeal to TAS, and her chances of success are, according to the words of Mihai Covaliu, the president of COSR.

Mihai Covaliu, the president of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, said that Sabrina Voinea can even win the bronze medal obtained by Simone Biles. Everything depends on the call from TAS made by the Romanian woman.

Sabrina Voinea can take the silver from Simone Biles in the floor event at the Olympic Games

Sabrina Voinea it ranked in the position of the dinner at the end of the soil test at the Olympic Games in Paris. Although she disputed the score given by the judges in Paris (13.700), Sabrina Voinea did not receive a higher mark. Mihai Covaliu stated that he is certain that Sabrina Voina’s grade will be increased, after the gymnast submitted an appeal to TAS.

“I had a meeting with the president of the FIG, we talked for about 40 minutes, Mr. Watanabe said that he will do everything possible and the regulations allow for the grade of our athlete to be the correct one.

Furthermore, I also chose the legal way, I informed TAS about the created situation.

We have on our side video evidence, photographs that support what we are asking, namely that our athlete did not go outside the regulatory competition area, and that element that is said to have been executed in proportion to 80%, and that element which is said to have been correctly executed and the quotation must be given for the success of that element.

Thus, the mark will be modified and we don’t know if it will be bronze or silver, but we are sure that it will be an increase in the mark that our athlete obtained”, declared Mihai Covaliu, according to euronews.ro.

The Americans declare that Sabrina Voinea will not win the case at TAS

Although the voices in the United States declare that the two Romanians were stolen in the floor final, it is hard to believe that Sabrina Voinea will receive a better mark at TAS.

“The Romanians will appeal to TAS. However, the appeal is unlikely to succeed, given that CAS rarely gets involved in scoring disputes. The appeal will probably be dismissed in its entirety.

However, the people of Romania did not shy away from words. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced that he would protest and not attend the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, while Sabrina Voinea, who finished in 5th place, announced her retirement from gymnastics in Romanian newspapers.

Unfortunately, Chiles is at the forefront of this incident, even though she had no involvement in the appeal made by the US,” said those from yardbarker.com.
