#Footage for #SimoneBiles' #Netflix #doc could be #smokinggun in #JordanChiles' #medal #appeal.
"Inquiry for Jordan!" #Chiles' #coach, #CecileLandi, is heard saying on the #documentary #footage precisely 49 seconds after Chiles' #score in the #floorexercise #final was #announced. She also repeats "inquiry for Jordan" and "for Jordan" prior to the 60-second deadline.
#Arbitrator also had undisclosed ties to #Romania
#TomBrady reflects on watching "the most #powerful #women I've ever seen" at #Olympics with his #daughter.
Brady and his youngest child Vivian, whom he shares with ex-wife #GiseleBundchen, were in the stands for several events including #womensdiving, #beachvolleyball and the individual #women's #gymnastics #finals, where the pair cheered on #SimoneBiles and the other #American #competitors.

That's interesting, I hadn't connected this to #SimoneBiles, but you're absolutely right.
Imagine a world in which it was okay, expected, & supported for top-tier athletes to step back and take care of themselves instead of "pushing through" major health & well-being challenges.
(& maybe also imagine that for the whole of society. Grocery store clerks, omfg can you even imagine??)
@luckytran So yeah, the institutions suck for pretending it's over. But the individuals suck too. Because my relative and Lyles both have exactly the same info literally at their fingertips that I do. And I believe ***I don't even have the right to risk exposing anyone else to this***.
I have now been isolated in my bedroom for nearly 6 days.
No, my career doesn't depend on getting out there and doing.
But in 2020, #SimoneBiles showed Olympians what to do in a choice between health and career.

Gymnast #SimoneBiles will formally announce her donation of $4M to the #HarrisWalz campaign!
According to a source at #SportsIllustrated, the sum of $4M represents $1M for each of the four medals she won at the #Olympics in #Paris.
I love that the team’s #MentalHealth is just as important as their physical performance.
Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade didn't just win gold in the Olympic women's floor exercise yesterday. She won the admiration of her peers and rivals. As the 25-year-old took to the podium, silver medallist Simone Biles and bronze winner Jordan Chiles knelt on either side of her and bowed. “First, it was an all-Black podium, so that was super exciting for us,” Biles said. “But then Jordan was like, ‘Should we bow to her?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ She is such an exciting gymnast to watch, and all the fans in the crowd cheering for her. It was just the right thing to do. She's a queen." Here's more from @time

Somebody did the Lord's work: Simone Biles' jumping altitude in corgis 
@mekkaokereke I read that the person that gets silver in a non-trivial competition is usually less happy than the person that gets bronze, with gold being the happiest person.
Which makes me think of how difficult this gesture would have been for #SimoneBiles, to put aside what you might feel and take joy in the success of someone else.

#Olympics #gymnastics live updates: #SimoneBiles narrowly 3loses to #Brazil’s #RebecaAndrade on floor.
Biles stepped #outofbounds several times during her #routine. Biles’ #USA #teammate #JordanChiles won the #bronze after an #inquiry changed the #scoring.
Biles' run at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games ended Monday with a silver medal in the floor exercise final. Her four medals (three gold and the silver) in this Olympics have cemented her legacy as the greatest gymnast in U.S. history.
Well, that was shocking . . .
Both #SimoneBiles & #SuniLee fell & failed to medal in the Women's Individual "BalanceBeam competition today. 
Rebecca #Andrade also failed to medal in this competition placing 4th with #Simone in 5th & #Suni in 6th. All three were expected to medal.
On the other hand, Andrade took the #GoldMeal in the Women's Individual #FloorExercise competition but Simone performed more poorly than expected & "only" took the #SilverMedal, while Jordan #Chiles won the #BronzeMeal after a scoring inquiry was sustained giving her an additional 1/10th of a point to edge out Ana Barbosu (Romania) by only 0.066 points.
While disappointing for Simon & Suni, there's no need to feel sorry for them because Simone ended the Women's Gymnastic competition with 3 Gold & 1 Silver Medals; Suni won 1 Gold & 2 Bronze Medals; and #Jordan won 1 Gold & 1 Bronze Medal.
So, congratulations to them & the rest of the US Women's Gymnastics team!!!! 
USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
